We booked at the Pan Pacific at a year out and it was a high rate. Recently the rates dropped and we saved $454. We received breakfast for two on their AAA rate.
Thanks for the great tip! That looks like a workable option for our family and the rooms look nice for that price. Wonder how much Uber would be from there to places like Stanley Park? Hmmm. Need to look into the trolley, too. Had no idea there was one.We're a family of 5 as well. It's a bit further out, but we're at the Park Inn & Suites on Broadway. We're 4 blocks from the Canada Line & the Broadway trolley stops right outside. From someone who lives outside of urban areas, I must say that the public transportation in Vancouver is amazing!

I am starting to wonder if price gouging is okay in Canada.
I stayed at Delta Vancouver Hotel and Suites (https://plaidshirtyogapants.com/2017/06/06/delta-vancouver-hotel/) and had a lovely time. Since the hotels were very expensive we ended up using a ton of points for our three-night stay. Hotels were running about $300-350 per night. Remember to check how much you will 'save' because of the weak CAD.I just spent well over an hour looking at hotel options before our cruise. I have to say ... awful choices. The hotels all look nice, but prices are high and room options are limited for a family of four. I am not paying $700+ to sleep on a sofa or roll away bed — especially when I’m about to spend a week trying to sleep in a cramped stateroom (I may be a bit claustrophobic...). I am also irritated that the nicer hotels farther from the deck do not offer transportation and charge for WiFi. I can’t imagine arranging for a car would cost that much, but I am starting to wonder if price gouging is okay in Canada.
My question for the experienced.... I have no problem staying farther away, however, what is the best way to get to the ship, and how much does it cost?
Thank you!
If I remember correctly, I called them direct.Can you share more about how you booked it, please? Was it on the hotel's website or elsewhere? We're a family of 5 going next May and are experiencing some sticker shock, too. Thanks!
Check out bed and breakfasts. We booked a room at Barclay House for a very good rate.I just spent well over an hour looking at hotel options before our cruise. I have to say ... awful choices.

We have 3 adults and 2 teenagers and booked the Times Square Suites Hotel. It's close to the restaurants and stores that would address special dietary needs. Then, we either will take a taxi/van or book a shuttle van. Not sure yet. But I heard public transportation is good.We stayed at Times Square Suites and loved it. We took a taxi to port. I don’t recall how much but it wasn’t horrible.

Thanks for the info.! I didn't know that.Uber and Lyft are not currently in Vancouver. Our government had promised to bring Uber here by NYE 2017 but it's been stalled still and we have NO idea when ride sharing will be allowed here in Vancouver.

We are staying at the Times Square Suites as well. Where have you found to eat. I have special dietary needs as well??
You give me hope. Thanks! I called today about a room for next May and she said call back in a couple months bc they're not available yet, but when I asked approximately the cost she was guessing about $450 bc it's peak season. But I have heard occasionally of people finding good rates there. Glad you were able to!I booked us at Pan Pacific for this coming May last year in July. I did it through the Pan Pacific site directly and got the room with plus breakfast for two for about $250 USD. They will also valet our bags to the terminal.
I assume you're traveling this season? If you don't mind, can you share here how you liked the hotel afterward? If I can't find a place in our budget closer to port, I think Park Inn and Suites is gonna be our hotel. Also, may I ask what type of room you will have - standard or otherwise? It's tough to see room choices online for them.We're a family of 5 as well. It's a bit further out, but we're at the Park Inn & Suites on Broadway.
