Good to know
Practical Ocean trip Transportation Advice
Do Not Choose by Seats Alone
A vehicle may seat the group but still be unsuitable for the total baggage. Bag count should be part of the first quote request.
Separate Uncertain Flight Connections
When flight arrival and voyage departure timing is tight, discuss the schedule before assuming a same-day connection is practical.
Keep the Driver Contact Available
A reachable mobile number helps coordinate terminal instructions after disembarkation.
Reserve the Return Before Sailing date
Pre-arranging the post-ocean trip transfer is easier than finding suitable transportation with bags after leaving the voyage vessel.

The chauffeur follows the active the downtown sailing pier vehicle-access and passenger drop-off instructions for the voyage day. Exact directions can change with traffic control and terminal operations.
What happens when the vessel returns to Vancouver?
Disembarkation times can vary. Provide the departure name, scheduled arrival and a reachable mobile number so meeting instructions can be coordinated after you are ready to leave the terminal.
