That's likely to be a 1 time repositioning. After some Australia and South Pacific cruises, it's looking like they're going to be repositioning the ship to do some 14 day Alaska cruises (likely out of Seattle, so I'd expect a 1 day Vancouver to Seattle cruise in there too). This is all on the Pacific Princess, they canceled the world cruise that she was supposed to do in Jan 2014.

Might try into San Diego, only a 2 hours or so by car to LA...depending

It may be possible but like what others have already said it would cost you more . :)

I have friends on the Grand Princess departing San Francisco 28 April to Hawai'i, returning to San Francisco via Ensenada (arv. 13 May). One would have to look up the schedule to see which days are scheduled for Hilo, Honolulu, etc.
