pellefsen Posted August 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Does anyone know where the closest convenience store/gas station to purchase soda within walking distance of the Canada Pier in Vancouver might be?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulders Posted August 31, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2009 There is a convenience store underneath the Fairmont Waterfront across the street from Canada Place. It's in the minimall which is underground. However, if you are sailing on a Celebrity ship, those depart from Ballantyne pier which is a 10 minute cab ride away from Canada Place.

Rare Cruise Junky Posted August 31, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I take it you're on Friday's Sailing? Millennium will be at Ballantyne which is not within walking distance to anywhere you want to be. You might want to have your cab stop somewhere if you're not flying in until that day.

scottbee Posted August 31, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Does anyone know where the closest convenience store/gas station to purchase soda within walking distance of the Canada Pier in Vancouver might be?:confused: Which ship are you on? If you're on Celebrity (which I assume from this posting), the bad news is that Celebrity ships dock at Ballantyne which is near nothing, and is behind port security in a very industrial part of town. Where are you coming from? Direct from the airport? If so, there's a 7-11 actually at the airport. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pellefsen Posted August 31, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks. Yes, I am aware we will be departing from Ballantyne pier, but we are arriving Thursday and will be staying near Canada Pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted August 31, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks. Yes, I am aware we will be departing from Ballantyne pier, but we are arriving Thursday and will be staying near Canada Pier. Walk west down Hastings towards Stanley Park and there's an Urban Fare (very nice grocery store) that will keep you in snacks and pop. It's on the corner of Thurlow and West Hastings about 2 big blocks from Canada Place. To the other poster, I thought of suggesting 7-11 at the airport but it's on the domestic side, not sure where the OP is flying in from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted August 31, 2009 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Only a 30% chance of precip on Thurs (70% chance of none) and back into nice weather on Fri. The only problem with weather forcasts in Vancover is that they are good for about 24 to 36 hrs.:rolleyes: For sodas and alike you may care to try London Drugs at Georgia and Granville, the 7-11 at Seymour and Dunsmuir or the Shoppers Drugmart on Granville and about Dunsmuir. London Drugs tends to be the price leader...but your choice will depend upon where you are staying. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-74_metric_e.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
