I couldn't have put this together better.
It looks like I will be sailing from LA
to Vancouver then walking cross pier to
Board Mercury for my Alaska cruise May 4.
Sort of a back to back, just on different ships.

Prices on this cruise start at under $230 per person, which includes all port charges and taxes.

Great deal.
Don't be surprised if they are not at the same dock.
I suspect one of them may be at Balyntine.

I checked with the Port of Vancouver and one ship will be on the west side and the other on the east side of Canada Place.

Mercury is due to dock at 7AM and Star at 9:30AM
Golden Princess will also be at Canada Place and Vision at Ballantyne.

Good deal Reggie...I often take the repo's, you can't beat the prices. On May 3, we will be on the NCL Sun for a quick 3 nighter down the coast before she settles into her Alaska season. We paid $300/each for an OV, not bad I thought....

Are you sure you are not going UP the coast?

Nope....we go from Vancouver down to Astoria and the back.....1/2 day in Astoria and a sea day.....not a bad way to spend a weekend, eh?

We'll be in Astoria on May 3rd and will pass you heading to Vancouver that night.
We'll be close enough to wave.

I paid $617.80 for a balcony cabin on the Star.

That does make for a nice weekend. I remember back when RCL did 3/4 day cruises out of Seattle during the month of May for a couple years. Those were nice getaways.
