We spent the day prior to our departure on the ship in Vancouver. We had an extra day built into our itineraries in case anyone experienced any delays.

We walked around the downtown area, Stanley Park, and spent several hours at the aquarium there.

The city was remarkably clean and the buildings were stylish. I've gotten fond of describing Vancouver as looking like a city might look ten or fifteen years in the future,
if the future goes well between now and then. I have heard that it's pretty expensive to live there.
