The slightly weird sounding overnight in Vancouver with the really early AM departure is to allow people to get aboard.  It pulls out at 0330 the next morning to catch low tide -- which is needed for a Quantum class ship to clear under the Lion's Gate Bridge.

RC just sent out an email once you've boarded you won't be able to leave the ship and the terminal closes at 5 pm May 8th.

"While we’ll depart from Vancouver, British Columbia at 3:30 AM on Tuesday, we’ve been advised that due to Canada Border Services Agency regulations, the terminal will close at 5:00 PM on boarding day and will not reopen until after we depart. As a result, once guests have checked-in and boarded the ship, they will not be able to leave the ship and return. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by this."

does anyone know if the family indoor pool is heated on quantum?

Thanks!

Has anyone seen the "themes" for the main dining room yet?

We have a Chops +2 and we don't want to miss anything theme nights we may want to catch in the MDR.

i thought maybe it was for people to arrive late? But i've been on past RC sailings and we've never stayed a full night at port. Weird.

Awesome! We've booked the sled camp excursion, we're also looking into a heli or plane tour but the prices from RC are a bit steep. I've looked into 3rd parties but I'm afraid of missing the boat should something happen.

Thanks for the advice tho! we'll definitely be trying to take in Alaska as much as possible.

If anyone has been on an Alaskan itinerary, we'd love some tips or advice too. Thanks!

Excited for this sailing coming up! Wanted to start a discussion.

I did have 1 question. Since we're in port at vancouver for seemingly two days (leaving day 2 at 3:30 am), are we allowed to leave the ship on day 1 in vancouver?

Thanks fellow sailors!
