A small group of us from Australia are staying at the YHA in Seattle the night before we get the train to Vancover. It's the way to go if you want to save money! It's about 75 dollars for a double room or if you don't mind sharing the 4 person dorms are even cheaper.Think breakfast is included but if not full kitchen facilities mean you can save money by preparing your own meals. We are staying at the YWCA in Vancover, as are quite a few of us on the cruise. We have stayed at YHA and YWCA all around the world and always been very happy , they have all ages and not like young party back packers. Rather save money on accom so we have more to spend on excursions. Jayne
