Wow.
Traffic SUCKED today. I went to meet my brother-in-law and his wife at Canada Place. It took me about an hour and a half to get from Water & Carroll to Canada Place. They were in an equally ridiculous line-up in customs trying to get off the Golden Princess, where they are currently working. They got in line for customs around 10 am and didn’t get through until 1:30 pm, so I still beat them by almost an hour. There was a rumour that the customs staff took a noon lunch break, leaving the lines temporarily stopped.
3 cruise ships docked at that terminal today, for a total of nearly 8,000 passengers, all leaving their ships, AND equal number trying to board, not to mention crew. There was also a Royal Caribbean ship at the Ballentine Pier. Consequently, Gastown was loaded with tourists today.
