We booked a “free cabin” offer and we were declined the shareholder benefit.  First time in over 10 years but we have never had this offer before.  I was a little surprised but hey, I’m okay with it!

It is about 30 to 40 minutes long. Take the tour first and then you can see where things are and sightsee when you get off. The beach is close to both terminals. Just watch to see where you are. It does make a couple of marketing stops to explain a few offerings of food, drinks and massages. We usually go to Marina's on the beach.

We did this excursion last year and had a great time! You won't be disappointed! It has quite a historical significance as well. The bus had ac and was very comfortable, horse and carriage ride was fun and the food was awesome!!

We have this cabin booked for Jan 2016, did you hear more noise from the hall as the bed is right there? We don't want to change rooms, but I want to get the quieter side, lol!!

Bought one of each (Red Frog and Blu Iguana) on the Triumph last month and they were $9.95 each without the lids. They only had one Blue Iguana left so my friend didn't get the pair only me! I have plenty of lids at home so I did not purchase but they were $3 each. I also love the Tervis store in Key West, I bought my MIMI tumbler there! Love my Tervis!

Yes they do have them. We needed one for our 16 month old and they were readily available and clean. They trays are washed and covered in plastic for you to remove when needed. I liked that. The first night in the MDR, we asked and every night thereafter one was waiting at our table ready to go. Just a suggestion, we brought an iPad with her favorite shows to occupy her when she had enough sitting. Worked very well!!

Questions for Ballentyne Pier:

What time does NCL start boarding passengers?

What time would be best for arriving at pier for a 4pm departure? NCL Star 5/14/11.

Any helpful tips would be appreciated as its our first time departing from Vancouver..

Thanks!!

Hey Darr83!! I was going to ask a similar question. We are also on the 5/14 sailing of the Star.

We have a roll call on the NCL Roll Call boards, please come over and join us!!

Thanks to all for your great info!!

Does anyone have any tips on departing from Ballentyne pier?

We are leaving on the Star, 5/14/11 and any helpful information on baggage, traffic, do's and dont's would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

First of all, thank you to those of you that are taking the time to answer all our questions on Vancouver!!!

DH and I are on the May 14 NCL Star and are planning to rent a car from Seattle, visit friends in Oak Harbor, overnight in Bellingham and then drive to the pier the morning of our cruise.

I have been told that the drive from Bellingham is about an hour or so but I am nervous about the border crossing. Is there a long delay in this crossing? Will I be cutting it to close by driving up that morning?

We are leaving from the Ballentyne Pier at 4pm. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Does anyone know if these cabins have covered balconies? I searched for info on these cabins and found this question and was hoping that they are covered. Any help would be appreciated so I can try and change cabins if needed.

We are set to sail May 9th on the Conquest and our roll call is looking for a location to get together, without a charge. Any Ideas? The group thinks Day 2 would be best but we also don't want to miss any fun activities. Any suggestions would be helpful to us.

Great idea for a thread!!! Can't wait to see more..............

We took a duffle size rolling bag with a case of Coke and Dr Pepper, along with 12 bottles of water. We rolled in with us as a carry on and had no problem. There were 6 of us and after unpacking them and drinking them during the week, I had an extra bag for bringing back all my soveniers:p .
