We flew into Seattle when we visited British Columbia last summer. It took a lot longer than I expected to get from Sea-Tac to downtown Vancouver because there was a lot of traffic leaving Seattle and then a fairly lengthy wait to get through customs at the border.
We are booked on the 5 night 2017 Alaska cruise scheduled to depart Vancouver on August 2. I am planning on flying into Vancouver for this trip. We plan to fly in the Thursday evening before the cruise and stay at a hotel near the airport for the first night. Then we plan to pick up a rental car the next morning and drive up to Whistler, where we plan to spend two nights, then ferry over to Vancouver Island for 2 nights in Victoria, after which we'll ferry back to the mainland, drop the rental car off at the airport, and take either Canada Line or a cab to a hotel near the terminal the night before the cruise.
British Columbia is so beautiful in mid-summer that I'm as excited about the above pre-cruise plan as I am about the cruise itself.
