Luggage Questions
We’re sailing on the Disney Wonder into and out of Vancouver. When we disembark, we have a flight home at 11pm. Is there somewhere at the port to store our luggage or is there a way to get it to the airport so we can explore the city unencumbered?
Your cruise will sail from the Canada Place Cruise Terminal. If you do a quick google search, you will see there is a luggage storage right in the terminal so you can drop your bags and explore. Just make sure to be back to the port to collect your bags and get to the airport on time for your flight!
Since we are chatting about luggage, be prepared when packing before you leave home! Weather can change day to day in Alaska, and even throughout the day. I suggest packing clothes that can be layered. I usually wore a hoodie or sweatshirt with a coat over it on cooler days. On warmer days, a long sleeve T-shirt might do the trick, but always have a sweatshirt and rain gear handy (bring a backpack to take on Port Adventures to store your extra clothes). Also take care when packing shoes, being mindful of your planned excursions. Plan if you need hiking boots, walking shoes, etc. You will also want some shoes for around the ship, so shoes will take up a good part of your luggage for sure!
