Creator's Key Takeaways

we recently sailed on the Crown Princess out of Vancouver and today we're going to discuss our embarkation

it has been 35 minutes from the time we got out of the Uber downstairs walked around in circle several times elevator came upstairs dropped the bags off went back downstairs and security

total time from the drop off to getting into the Piazza was about 45 minutes or so

we were very lucky because we were only in the lounge for five or ten minutes that was pretty quick

Creator's Tips & Advice

Travel the day before the cruise to avoid delays with luggage or airlines
Consider staying at a hotel near the cruise terminal that offers luggage collection service to the ship
If using a ride share, have your Uber drop you off a block away from the terminal to potentially speed up the process
If traveling light, rolling your bags into the terminal might be faster than dealing with elevators
