Jay and I literally do not have to lift our bags off the ground tomorrow. First, we'll roll into our elevator, across the parkade, and into the SkyTrain Station. After that, we'll push them to an escalator to the platform and onto a train going downtown. Then, we'll roll towards the escalators to Canada Place. We'll hold tightly as we continue down the slope under the building and present to the terminal staff. Finally, and somewhat magically, by the time we check in and meet our friends for lunch, the ship staff will have put our luggage next to our door on the MS Volendam.
Because our trip includes no flying, we were sure to cart along formal attire for the ship's two gala nights. One of the dress-up nights will be my birthday! The ease of boarding is one more advantage of catching an Alaskan cruise for us.
