Vancouver
Having flown in from LA the Previous night, called a cab, the most economic way for 4 people, we passed through town:
Not the CBD however, but the Port District:
Past the Railway Station:
And the Little Boats:
To the Crown Princess:
We appeared to get on the Ship at a Cruise Terminal called Canada Place:

and

However this is not down town Vancouver? Or is it, I am confused, but certainly after we left we could see a far larger CBD in the distance.
Getting on the ship was a performance we took over four hours to clear Immigration and Customs, most of it spent waiting around in long queues, sometimes standing and sometimes sitting. The Cruise Line blamed US Customs and suggested that it would not happen if you boarded a Cruise ship at Seattle, rather than Canada. US Customs blamed the Cruise Line for not installing a powerful enough server to process the fingerprints. Whoever is to blame, the service was appalling.
