Levi Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hello all! Looking over Alaska 2024 itineraries there is a sailing for Quantum of the Seas leaving Monday April 29th from Vancouver, however it says departing Vancouver at 3:30AM April 30th (Tuesday). I've never seen this before, does anyone have experience with this type of 'late' departure? Specifically boarding for previous cruises usually begins between 10-11AM and the ship embarks around 4PM. With this type of offset will boarding begin later and 'last call' as it were to board be pushed into the evening? Do you think we just sit at the dock until departure time? Not that there isn't plenty to do on board... Just curious! Thanks in advance for any insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacharius Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 I have no answers but I love the idea of being able to spend the night partying in Vancouver and then stumbling on to your cruise to start the vacation Ryan79, Levi, jbrinkm and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 That's a lot of Moosehead and Canadian Club to make it that late into the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 It will probably board normally but Quantum class in Vancouver can only sail under the Lions Gate Bridge at low tide. I suspect the time posted reflects sail away for low tide (subject to change slightly) but I'd expect the ship to board somewhat normally during daylight.

Levi Posted November 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ah I do recall seeing something about how the Quantum ships don't quite fit in Vancouver, I'm sure you're right. Still interested to see if they keep boarding time as 'normal'. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
