I posted this on the Vancouver thread as well, so I apologize for the duplication....
Hello,
We will be a group of 5 (ages 80, 76, 58, 54, and 16 when we travel). Grandma & Grandpa can still "get around," but prefer not to walk long dstances, if possible. We hope to stay 2 nights pre-cruise at the PanPacific. I've read here that Taxis are small and can only hold 3-4 people w/luggage.
We will be traveling in early June from Michigan (Grand Rapids is the closest "large" airport). We are on Eastern time.
So, several questions.....
1. Any tips on the best/most cost effective airline/airfare from GRR to YVR? (I'm assuming round trip YVR is better for us than SeaTac to minimize transfers & too much walking for the "Grandparents" but please correct me if there's a better way!)
2. What is the best/most hassle-free way to get 5 of us (with "average" luggage) from YVR to Pan Pacific? Limo?
3. What is the best way to get 5 of us (with "average" luggage) from back to YVR from the port on departure day?
4. Should we plan on flying home the same day the cruise ends? or should we stay overnight at an airport hotel and try to fly out early next day?
5. I have seen some tips on getting good Pan Pacific rates on Hotwire. Is there any way to book a harbor-view room using Hotwire or other discount site? (Wishful thinking here...)
Thanks in advance!
