Thanks for the info. It is in part due to these Vancouver nightmares that we choose to sail Alaska out of Seattle. But even that is no picnic these days. I talked to some top brass on our previous HAL cruises and for sure staffing and staff shortages are an issue. Cruise lines had been trimming staff before the pandemic as cost cutters and post-pandemic it is definitely worse. We tip the staff that go over and above during this patch, but we still love our cruises dearly. We never expect cruising to go back to the way it was, but it still beats the alternatives! The luxury lines like Viking, Regent and Oceania do not have these staffing problems, but you pay a lot more for "the good old days" experience. Oh and do not forget inflation. The fact that you can get a week on a ship for under a grand pp is still a miracle in my economic playbook! Sail away!
