Kesstral Posted April 11, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The Port of Vancouver will be celebrating it's 25th million passenger at Canada Place this May. News articles suggest the honor will go to a HAL ship! Wonder which will be the lucky vessel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted April 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That's quite an honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipWalker Posted April 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2018 "Vancouver's 2018 cruise season marks largest ever vessel, 25 million passengers" OK, did anyone else read this headline as the largest vessel carrying 25 million passengers is coming to Vancouver?

As a Vancouver resident I can tell you that on a busy port day it feels like 25 million passengers down there! And at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotterchaos Posted April 13, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm pretty sure it won't get awarded til May 13th. We'll report back what kind of fuss they make for us ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haladdict Posted April 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wouldn't you hate to be the passenger behind the 25th million. Especially if they had cut in line. sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted April 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wouldn't you hate to be the passenger behind the 25th million. Especially if they had cut in line.sandra Or the one in front, especially if you didn't let someone cut? (gotta luv karma) Might depend on the prize, though. A picture in the newspaper by itself would be no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesstral Posted April 14, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wouldn't you hate to be the passenger behind the 25th million. Especially if they had cut in line.sandra Or the passenger before! On a serious note, I'm curious how this is calculated. Is the 25 million counted as cruiser's embark (when the check in at the counter) or disembark? And what about ships that only have Vancouver at the start or end of their trip? Would they count a B2B passenger twice? So many questions!! I think I need more coffee this morning :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
