@SCX22 thank you so much for the insight. I guess we'll have to skip Capilano as I don't want to be rushed getting back to the ship and since I can't drop the luggage any earlier than 9:30, we'll just have to hang around town. Since you're such a wealth of knowledge on Vancouver, someone mentioned touring the "gardens". Not sure what this is referencing, but are they close by? Do you know if it is worth going to and time feasible if bags are dropped at 9:30am? What would you suggest with our limited time for those who have never been to Vancouver? Thank you!

@Martincath - when you say $3 transit to Cap...what are you referring to? I've only heard about the free shuttle from the Port to to Cap but that sounds as if that is when the large groups arrive. Also I'd be willing to schlep down to the basement as I heard there is an elevator inside the Pan Pacific that will get me there directly (true??) - if they will actually take my bags and deliver them to our cabiin later. The alternative would be to pay a baggage storage company, I guess?? Our hotel is closer to the airport as we're arriving late the night before. Would you suggest we just request earliest check-in, drop the bags before that and then after check-in, head out to Cap? Is it worth the trip to Cap? I welcome any/all input on how best to best utilize my day in Vancouver before the RCI departure at 4pm. Thank you for your guidance.

Cruising on RCI to Alaska in June & wish to enjoy the day in Vancouver, specifically the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. I was thinking I would drop bags at the port early (7:30am ish) & choose a later check-in time to avoid the crowds, but not sure what the best approach would be. Any seasoned Vancouver RCI cruisers with best suggestions on how best to unload bags & enjoy the day without missing departure!!?? Thank you in advance for your guidance.
