Lots of us already booked into the YWCA hotel in Beaty St, it's only a few blocks from Canada Place and there should be enough of us to get a mini bus to the ship! Saving money on accom means more money for excursions on the cruise and in Vancouver.
The pre cruise party before one of the Alaska cruises was organaised at a restaurant near the YWCA so if it's there again that would be a bonus .
