June 6, 2022 – Vancouver

Last morning of the cruise. We woke up at 6am to get all our stuff and head down for breakfast. The ship was just passing Stanley park when we got up so we got another look at the park heading back into port.

Down at breakfast I had a Ham and Cheese Omelet with Hash-browns. After breakfast we left the restaurant and found a place to sit at the French Quarter Lounge. We had to wait for the ship to be cleared by customs. Then the people doing the express walk off were allowed first, then concierge, then our group which was the Ariel tags. We easily got off of the ship and found our luggage. Going through Canadian customs was very quick.

We were staying at the Pan Pacific again, so we followed the signed for the hotel. We went down the bellhop and dropped off all of our bags. He suggested we go check in so the front desk knew we were there and they could let us know as soon as they have a room. Luckily they had a room ready at 9am! So we were able to go to our room and decide what we wanted to do for the day. We decided we wanted to take the bus over to Granville Island. We stopped at the bellhop and let him know our room was ready, they took our bags up while we were gone which was amazing.

We headed over the train station were we knew there was also a bus stop. It was a little confusing the skytrain and bus tickets are all the same, but there are ones. We didn’t know what zone Granville Island was in, so we just bought day passes and jumped on the bus.

Taco Salad

We walked around and looked at some of the stores and then went into the market places. There was tons of fresh fruit, bread, dessert, and so much more. Too bad we knew we couldn’t take the food with us when we leave. We found the food court area and grabbed some lunch. We stopped at a Mexican place and went outside to eat. There we several birds around watching people eat. One flew down and flew so close to Bella it moved her hair. The rest of us were laughing at her close bird call. After we were done eating we finished looking around the market place and decided to head back towards the bus.

One the bus ride back we stopped at a covenant store to grab snacks for the trip home tomorrow. We went a few places to find everything we want4ed and then headed back to the hotel to relax for a little while.

We decided to head up to the pool deck to watch the Wonder sail off.

I wanted to hit up Starbucks and get some new cups for my collection. We walked around a little more checking things out and trying to decide where we would eat for dinner. We were all tired and didn’t want to stay out too late.

Jameson and Ginger ale to drink

We decided to stop at Steamworks Brewing for dinner we say inside and watched some Hockey on the TV and ate. This was maybe a 5 minute walk from our hotel, so after dinner we headed back to repack and make sure we had everything we needed to start our adventure back to Florida in the morning.
