Isn't that Franck ?

I just read on Cruise Critic that Francisco is on the Voyager now, I was looking forward to seeing him! I will a look out for Franz/Franck :)

Yes, Franck not Franz see what happens when you post at 11.34 pm at night!! I fixed my post. Francisco is on the Voyager we just left him.

Hiking, biking, ATV tours! Plus awesome food and wine! We are having a great time in Whistler! Everyone traveling to Vancouver tomorrow sleep well tonight and safe travels tomorrow!

Francisco...did he used to be CD on Silversea? I can picture him but I can't think of his last name. (If it's the same guy!) He was fantastic.

Never mind! It just came to mind, I was thinking of FerNANdo, not FranCISco.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone on MOOSE!

Fernando was amazing he knew EVERYONES name a real talent and he was on Silversea.

Francisco is a bar waiter on Regent currently on the Voyager and dance partner to our very own Suzanne.

Great 1st day. Only problem was 2 hours to get through customs. And it was hot. Thought I had left that behind in Houston. Beautiful weather this evening.
Saw mystery guest at check-in @ Pan Pacific. Dinner with Crystal, Beth, Randy and 2 of their friends from the DC last year. Tom & Martha from Boston. Wonderful food and beautiful view of the water. I can already tell I'm in love with Vancouver. I see a return visit sometime in my future.
Having to cancel trip to Victoria but lots to do here. Message from Lee on phone but the operator had a problem with it or I had a problem with the phone. Lee - will call tomorrow. Bye for now as I look out at a beautiful view of skyline and water of Vancouver after dark.

welcome to beautiful Vancouver Betty. Enjoy sightseeing in Stanley Park,or the Capilano Suspension Bridge and best of all the Granville Island shops and restraunts. The tours are very good. Anyway, it's a wonderful start to a spectacular cruise.....Did I mention I wish we were there as well?
Have a blast and hoist one for us...

Its fun to read about the your start...can't wait to see more! Greeting to the herd!

I am on my way, I hope customs doesn't take as long as it did for Betty!

I cannot wait to find out who the mystery guest is!

Ugh - I remember customs in Vancouver prior to MUSH. It did seem to take awhile.

Hope you all have a safe journey and a fabulous trip!

Betty! Hope you enjoy the day in Vancouver! 2 hours to get through immigraton??? Oh my, That's terrible . We were lucky to get thru in 1/2 hour. It took us 1 hour in Jan. And it really was hot.

We're heading up to the hiking trials on Whistler this morning. We hiked Blackcomb on Sunday. We will eat lunch up on the mtn at Steeps, so won't be in the Village if Lee is coming in on the train.

Customs in Vancouver can be a nightmare if several international flights arrive at once. It was BAD before MUSH!! I somehow got mixed in with several planeloads from Korea and Japan. Realy looked out of place;-)

We went through Canadian Customs at the Vancouver Airport last year. Our widebody was one of nine to land in the same hour. Customs is barely large enough to handle two loads efficiently. It was a nightmare! It can be easy too. Depends on the traffic at any given moment. Be prepared! We now have Nexus cards that enable us to zip through a special line without a wait. Pat

Have a wonderful time all of you "MOOSE RS"
Look forward to your reports and lots and lots
of pictures.

Can't believe I'm sitting here in the Pan Pacific Hotel overlooking the beautiful Vancouver Harbor. Will be up early tomorrow to watch Mariner sail in. Lee

Lee, I hope you joined the gang for dinner tonight!

It's finally here!!!! Today is embarkation day!!!!!!
It's raining, but all we have to do is enjoy another fantastic Fairmont breakfast, then head back down the Sea to Sky Hwy , return the rental car, catch a taxi to Canada Place, then start drinking champagne!
