We will have a car our first night to make a sea to sky run and maybe grouse and Capilano :)

I will have to check if cruises run in late April

How would we reach the Granville ferry from north Vancouver?

I am staying at the Pinnacle at the Pier two nights pre cruise in late April. Is the ferry a good way to get around at night to see the city lights?

I reserved a river view so happy to hear it was ok.

A base point is all I needed by the airport and light rail so it will work good enough for a night. I splurged every other step of the way.

What is this area like? Decent enough hotel for one night after cruise and prior to flight home? Got it on Hotwire for $75 so it is what it is.

Heading to hotel from ship and resting for afternoon then light rail to city to sight see a bit.

In which case Lynn Canyon is your only viable option, since Sky Pilot is at the top of the gondola - i.e. you have to fork out $40pp, same as Cap, to get to it. Or hike up a mountain, which would seriously impact the time you have to get up to Whistler.

 

If you were here on a summer weekend parking at the site might be tricky, but in April you'll have no trouble getting into the official car park - and if you did, there is free street parking all over the area.

With all the options given I might pay the $40 and ride the Sea to Sky gondola then I can do their suspension bridge. One place will cover two things. One stop shop.

I didn't really want to pay for Capilano or crowds.

Who has the better suspension bridge?? Where the sea to sky gondola is or Lynn Canyon?

We will be traveling at the very end of April. Will have to check for sunrise time. I should be good with an early morning since I am from the east coast.

From what I see of Whistler there is a lot of shopping. Not my thing so would I be best off just enjoying the drive there and back? Anything further north worth heading to see?

I have the entire day to travel. Thank you for the ideas. If you have more bring them on.

I am driving the sea to sky highway to Whistler and back prior to my cruise. Any suggestions on a must see along the way? Places to grab a bite to eat? Photo ops?

Yes I am looking for local yarns.

Any suggestions on stops in Juneau, Ketchican, or Skagway for yarn to bring home? Price rang?

We are driving from Seatac to Vancouver in a rental car -- where is a good place to buy a couple of bottles of wine? Where is it better selection and price?

I was hoping for samples but was going to buy the low package anyways. I drink the Malbec on the list and my husband the merlot

Does carnival offer samples of the wine on embarkation day? Looking to buy a package but want to taste my options if possible first.

Can someone tell me what they can be used for other than paying for your cruise? OBC? What about the Tracy Arm excursion through the ship by email?

Can someone tell me how to get from Blue Horizon to Victoria using public transportation? Cost and time?

You got my plan .. Drop bags at hotel/check in then drive to drop car and walk back to hotel.

How far of a walk? Dropping car at Alamo Canada Place instead of airport. Would Sandman be closer or easier?

I am from buffalo the weather won't bother me

So i guess i will toss another option out there.

Fly in on Thursday morning and drive to Vancouver the way you suggested through Deception Pass. Stay somewhere near Vancouver that night and on Friday drive to Whistler for the day. Drop the car either at Canada Place or the airport and then spend 2 nights at Blue Horizon. Saturday Capilano Bridge and Sunday morning before the cruise check out Stanley Park.
