I'm in!
You might be surprised by your DH. I was sold within minutes of walking onto the ship. DH by the end of the 4 day cruise. This will be our 7th cruise in 4 years. DH loves it.
Sorry, no suggestions other than the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown for dining out in downtown Vancouver. We mainly dine out in the Richmond/Stevenston area as that is where my sister lives.
Joining in for all of the fun!
Here!!!
Oh that would be sooo cool!!
I'm in!
Oh well, thanks anyways! We have Milestones as a backup if we can't figure out whatever restaurant Jeff thinks he remembers. And maybe it will come to him between now and then.
I'm in and really excited! We have tentative plans to do an Alaskan cruise for DH's 50th in two years so I'm really eager to hear about how your trip goes. Of course depending on $$$$, we may not go with DCL. It's a ways off yet.
And we have a couple other trips on the agenda too! We'll see how mich is left in the budget.
Your plans look great! I doubt Jeff will get bored. There's always something going on on the ship. Maybe a galley tour or wine tasting if they have one?
A local one is White Spot. Started out in Vancouver by Nat Bailey. Famous for their legendary burger platter and milkshakes. The kid's meals come in a pirate ship. There are a couple of locations on West Georgia. West Georgia and Seymour (2nd floor - near the terminal), and West Georgia and Cardero (near Stanely Park). Not super fancy, but good food. Google for the menu.
HEY I MADE IT!!
But I have an excuse I am in the LAX airport !!! Lol! I just know you are going to love the cruise! We had a great time and I know we liked it most because we had family together and family on our own time! The kids got to do their own thing too, which they liked. Can't wait to hear all about your FE fun! Ours was a blast!!!
I'm sure we will find something! Even if it's just reading a book on our verandah!
Ding! The restaurant he is thinking of is Cardero's.
I've seen White Spot but have never been in, I didn't realize it was a burger place. I will keep that in mind as well. Thanks!!!

No, no, no. Head to Deck 4 with your book and read there. Much more fun and interesting than the verandah. Plus, wooden padded deck chairs. One of DH and my favoriate spots.
White Spot is much more than a burger place now. Started out a car hop, much like A&W way back when. Now, it's a wonderful restaurant that still makes great burgers, along with a lot of other offerings. Haven't heard about Cardero's, need to ask my sister about that one.
See, like I said in my TR - they don't eat in Vancouver!
I think Cardero's was the steak place near the water that a local recommended to us.
I'm in. Hoping to cruise to alaska next summer if I can get the time off work.
I'm here! Loving all the plans - it sounds just amazing. I saw a tilt shift video from the Alaska cruise a while back on the Disney Parks Blog-it was beautiful!
Subbing!
We are sailing with you!!! Can't wait to read more...great start!
Joining in! All caught up right now - but will be behind shortly....have a little thing like a Disney trip starting on WEdnesday. But am looking forward to hearing all about the cruise. We have never gone on one, but I think I would like an Alaska cruise more than I would a tropical one.....
Tanya! so happy to have you here
for 5 days!!!!!!!!!! (4 by the time you read this)
oh dear, I see you have a contest question link? I must see what that's all about.
The ticker is actually off a little. I made it based on our original arrival date of Saturday, but somewhere along the way we decided that I could fly down early I actually get there the day after tomorrow! The guys are driving down and won't get there until Saturday.....what ever will I do with all that free time
