Ballantyne or Canada Place?

[daisy7889]

We are on the Celebrity Mercury this July going to Alaska and wondering if anyone knows which pier we sail out of, Ballantyne or Canada Place? Is there a big difference in the time it takes to get to one or the other? Thanks for your help.:)

Last year the Mercury was at Canada Place - I guess they've been moved to Ballantyne this year.

 

Ballantyne is about 10 minute drive east of Canada Place and although the port area is OK it is not in a neighborhood that you want to walk to, take public transit to or stay near.

 

Take a taxi or cruise ship transfer from your hotel.

Your cab fare from the Ballantyne terminal to most downtown hotels should be about $15.00.

It's easy to get confused as Celebrity Mercury and Infinity docked at Canada Place for the early departures of the season (up until a couple of weeks ago), but now all RCCL ships (which is RCCL and Celebrity) are operating out of Ballantyne
