Great pics. Thanks for posting. Really puts things in perspective. Can't wait now!

Thanks for the shots too! My parents are traveling with us so I wasn't really sure about them traveling from the Pan Pacific to the Port or transit connection--wow! Everything is so close! Thanks for the photos!

Okay quick question...has anyone heard about excursions yet that will be offered OR has anyone had a great excursion they could suggest while on the cruise?

Hi Robyn,

You talked me into it I could help organize fish extenders if that is alright with everyone else. I have played FE several times, but have never organized it before.

If you are interested in doing fish extenders either post here or PM me your name, room number and what seating you have (early or late). Also, let me know if you have any food allergies and I will make a note of it.

I will then post a list of all the names and room numbers as we go along.

Should we have a deadline for the FE list? Many times I have noticed that the cut off is 1 month prior to sailing. (July 23rd or so for our cruise) What do you guys think? That would give us enough time to purchase gifts etc. If others want to join later on , we could always always have a group B.

So, if you are interested in playing Fish extenders or want more info, just let me know and I will start a list.

We may be interested. My kids asked my about FE the other day. I am still deciding. We will let you know.

For those of you who know much about Vancouver...how safe is it to go to Chinatown? I've finally figured out where the main part of Skid Row is and it turns out Chinatown is only one block south of there. If we go during the morning/lunch hours would Chinatown be okay, or does it get alot of spillover from Skid Row?

We really want to go to the Sun Yat Sen garden. We've heard it's gorgeous.

We just got back from a Western cruise last Sat. and had a great time! It was our 1st 7 night cruise and we loved it! We are ready to get back on the ship for our Alaskan cruise in just over 9 months

If anyone is iinterested in playing the fish extender game, please let me know and I'll put your name down. So far there aree 2 families interested, but I imagine as we get closer that there will be more people signed up.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
