I am LOVING that video. How do you make it? Your video also makes me want to go back to Vancouver someday. It looked amazing. We flew into Seattle for our Alaskan Cruise last year... so we just drove through Vancouver.

It looks like you had remarkable weather!!

Thanks! I made the video with Windows Movie Maker, free on most PCs! :) We mostly had good weather...had one really rainy day in Vancouver when we went to Stanley Park, and then cold and rainy weather in Juneau. But the rest of the time was pretty good weather, so I won't complain.
 




Signing in to follow your report. I enjoyed your pre-trip report. Like you, our cruise to Alaska (next year) will be our 6th DCL cruise and will complete our grand slam. We're also planning to add days in Vancouver before or after the cruise -- with many of the same plans. I had not read about the Sea to Sky tour. It looks interesting -- I'm considering adding it to our itinerary. Thanks for taking time to share your trip.

Thanks for following along! The Sea to Sky tour ended up being my favorite thing we did in Vancouver!
 
Lovely next installment. We are signed up for the Sea to Sky tour in just two weeks, having stumbled across a description of it a few months ago. So glad you had a great experience on it!

I think you will really enjoy the tour, Disneyfriend! We saw so much beautiful scenery on it. I would do it again if we ever make it back to Vancouver.
 
Another great installment - thank you! Your trip report has been so helpful, as our Vancouver/Alaska trip is rapidly approaching. Love all the pictures!
 
We, too, are planning a pre-cruise whale watching excursion because I want to do other things in Juneau. I'm nervous because we had a disappointing experience whale watching in the San Juan Islands area (departing from Anacortes, WA) a couple of years ago. It was a long day and we did not spot anything until it was time to turn around and even then it was a distant sighting of one or two minke. Planning to try Victoria this time.

I hope your whale watching cruise is successful! Our cruise was sure a long day. It's just the luck of the draw, though.
