I've been reading on CC that porters are ready to accept cruise luggage at the Vancouver garage ~10:00a. The day our cruise departs, a 5,000 passenger ship is scheduled to arrive, but not until 9:30a.
1) Will there still be porters in the garage accepting luggage by ~10:00a?
2) That same 5,000 passenger ship departs two hours after our ship, which is 4,000 passengers and a 4:00p departure. We were thinking of dropping our luggage early, then a doing a little nearby sight-seeing/brunch before returning to Canada Place between 1:00 and 2:00 for check-in to miss the "crowds". However, with our 4,000 passengers departing at 4:00p and the other 5,000 passengers departing at 6:00p, should we do the other extreme and drop luggage early then proceed directly to Check-in/Screening/CBP? We have Priority Boarding, which I know only affects our ship boarding and not the other Canada Place queues.
