Nanaimo's waterfront was buzzing today as more than 2,000 passengers took time ashore from Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas, moored out in the channel off Gabriola.
Looking very low in the water, the intrepid cruisers were transferred by tender to the visitor pier in Nanaimo Harbour - dodging the Quinsam's wake as she arrived (late again) from Gabriola.
All of which set me thinking - arrival by tender from almost a mile offshore helps make a great visitor experience. Just a shame that they'll all have to walk through the freight yards when the new cruise ship terminal is built. Or maybe they'll bus everyone out with the blinds drawn?
