Or take the train back? The train to/from Vancouver is nice since it is a coastal run. If you train up, you walk across the street from where the Amrak run ends to catch the skytrain to the terminal. Reverse the process if coing down. HAL is good - have lots of experience with them.

I just see this as something a little different for us to try out.
Lots of dates to pick form, but only the Oct 1 for ms Zaandam on HAL worked out with the schedule. We will probably hang out in YVR for the day (or stay the night, haven't really planned that far yet), and fly back to SEA.
Since its such a short run and last minute type of thing, I ended up booking a HAL interior room. Unless they just like to aggregate passengers or need to open up the cheapees for more sales, i probably doubt i will get an upgrade?
Making me feel better about that super cheap interior room.
I ended up booking the higher end dining for my wife and I with a reserved time at "Pinnacle Grill" on ms Zaandam (HAL). Is this nothing more than another buffet? Disney had table service for their higher end dining, but is this perhaps not the case on a short cruise or HAL in particular?
Thanks for the advice!
