**** Vancouver FAQ Thread **** A few updates in main post!

What happened in Vancouver is something that could happen anywhere in the world with a few bad apples in the group to instigate, even in the U.S. I am not concerned with our trip next month and will not be judging Vancouver based on this incident.

happens everywhere when there are big sporting events. Compared to many Europeon cities this was pretty tame!

It was very unfortunate what happened but I can't wait to visit the Vancouver this summer!

I'm not concerned either, but this is a huge blemish on a city with such a good reputation, especially after such a successful winter Olympics last year. I wouldn't say this happens everywhere after a big sporting event, although it does happen...Detroit after the Pistons won years ago being a prime example. It was just surprising and the Vancouver police just seemed so unprepared.

I'm still looking forward to visiting Vancouver next month, but I'd agree with the advice I saw on another thread: leave your Bruins gear at home. (For that matter, I'd leave anything Boston/New England at home...)

Very true. It's unfortunate that it happens, but it does all over the world after major sporting events.
 
Any updates or experiences with Air Canada?

The idiots who were most involved in the disgraceful actions last night were not hockey fans. Most of the incidents were begun by a small group of angry young men who used the large crowd to their advantage. Please do not think you will be hassled for wearing your team colours proudly! (Some of my closest friends are Red Sox fans)

While last night was awful, I am proud of my fellow Vancouverites for the great response in volunteering to help with the clean up this morning.
 
The CAW Reaches Tentative Agreement with Air Canada

Thanks for the update, that's great news:thumbsup2
We're flying our homeward flights with them on July 5, and I was quite anxious - other carriers YVR-NYC were booked pretty solid, and even creative routing wasn't helping.:surfweb:

Let's hope the "tentative" holds up.

Well said. I had heard that many people had already stepped up to get things cleaned up. That's great.

I just found a really good Hotwire rate for a 5 star in Vancouver...booked it and it turned out to be the Sutton Place. Any reviews? I was hoping for the Pan Pacific, but alas, it was not to be.

Does anyone know how the status of the Air Canada info is affecting the flights? Are they still running on time? Check-ins still stable or should we plan on going even earlier for our flight?

Last I heard was they had a tempory agreement and will be voting and such in the next couple of weeks but thats about the time frame we leave to fly out to Vancouver.

The workers went back to work on Friday.

We did the same thing - I was hoping for the Pan Pacific, but ended up with Sutton Place. Compounding that was not such great reviews from those who booked through Hotwire. We checked in with trepidation! And were very pleased! Our room was lovely, we were very comfortable, and were situated right in the middle of downtown. You will enjoy this hotel! We were there May 15-17, right before our cruise.

Thanks, DisneyBasket, I was having the same fears! Glad to know that it was a good choice.
 
Tip for visiting the Aquarium. Buy your tickets ahead of time online to avoid the line. We waited about 20 minutes yesterday (Saturday) in line to buy entrance tickets. The prepaids just walked right up. The line was just as long when we came out. The aquarium is fantastic!
 
Hi-

We will be staying at the Marriott Pinnacle pre cruise. I was wondering if anyone knows if that was walkable to the port? There are 6 of us and didn't know what would be our best option to get to the port.

Thanks.
 
fivepin. Try google maps.
I think it is walking distance - but depends on how much luggage. I would have the belldask call you a minivan cab. Easy-peasy
