Embarkation question for Vancouver

[mattmike6972]

If more than one ship is leaving from Canada Place, is there one customs and security line for all ships, or does each cruise line have its own customs and security check-in?

On our May 23 sailing on the Millenium the HAL Zandam was in port also and both ships had the same security line. After going through security, there were signs pointing you to check in for each ship. The line was really long at about 11 but it moved along quite well.

There is only one security line but it goes quite fast. Do you know how many ships are in the day you embark?

Thanks for starting this thread... My wife and I were just chatting last night about when to arrive at Canada Place for our century cruise. I think there will be three ships on July 6 so there could be long lines. Embarkation is listed as 11-3:30. I know if we get there early we could beat the lines but we'd be cutting short our time with friends in vancouver, and our rooms won't be ready anyway probably until 1, right?

We thought maybe we'll arrive around 2... Would that be too late?
