Self disembarkation?

[captainjak]

Many finding this thread are probably wondering, on average, or reasonable min-max range, time from ship arrival to arrival at YVR airport.  The crazy thing is after reading this thread twice, I couldn't believe no one simply provided this information?

 

The thread confirms:

1. Skytrain is fastest way to the airport but you have to walk a very short distance to the station.

2. Taxi/Uber wait time is variable and hard to predict.

3. Princess bus transfer is not well organized and most likely takes longer than using the Skytrain

4. If you have a late flight you can check bags for $10/ea at Pan Pacific then tour downtown Vancouver.

 

So what's a reasonable range estimate for time from arrival to arrive at YVR if using self-disembarkation and Skytrain on a 7:30A arrival?  2-3 hours max?

Self-Disembarking and taking SkyTrain you can safely assume that for a ship arriving at any time after 7am you should be at YVR within an hour to 90mins... depends which slot you are allocated, as these days Self is very popular so on bigger ships there might be several waves.

 

If you hustle and walk right onto a train about to depart, from the sidewalk outside Canada Place to getting off the train at YVR could be as low as 35mins; walk slow, just miss a train, Sunday morning have to wait the maximum possible time for the next one you might be looking at 55mins worst case.
