Must see this

If you would like to know where Vancouver natives Michael Buble and Sarah 

McLaughlin would recommend you visit when you go there, read this item from 

USA Today or click below on the video (one of four in the USA Today series).

Vancouver is the embarkation point of our cruise.

We want to visit the Vancouver Public LIbrary. We'll be dropping in here 

while we're there.  This Library Square Project was the largest capital project 

ever undertaken by the City of Vancouver. We've been to Vancouver many 

times since 1995, the date the library opened, but we've never been in that

building.

Large or Small

We have only been on a small cruise ship and we loved it. We can't 
even imagine being on one of the giant ships. (Chart below)


The intimate setting made it easy to find our way around the Regatta. 
Perhaps the spaces are pared down but everything on our ship 
suited us perfectly. Five restaurants is enough as is one fitness room, 
one library, one casino, one small pool, and one theatre. Even though 
we love children, it suited us to have none about on a ship that had no
facilities for kids.


Regatta:
30,277 tons, 684 guests
Built in 1998, Refurbished in 2011
