Beijing duck house is really good. Take a walk around Stanley Park. So beautiful. I loved my short time in Vancouver before a Whistler ski trip
Also check out capilano suspension bridge

These were recommended to me by a local when we were in your situation last year. Unfortunately we did not get to try any of them
Which ship will you be sailing on?

Vancouver restaurants:
: -**Miku (best sushi- reserve in advance)
-Nuba in Yaletown (Lebanese)
-Rodney’s for oysters and seafood
-Carderos (salmon and sablefish)

Walk through Stanley park
Sunset or third beach

very good asian food
when you leave Vancouver you go through US customs in the Vancouver airport before you board the jet

Walk the waterfront around Stanley Park.
Take the boat to Granville Island.
Take the ferry to Victoria. We spent a few days there.

Look into flying directly into Victoria before your cruise and then taking the ferry (or a plane or a seaplane) to Vancouver to catch your ship.

I’m actually terrified of heights and it didn’t bother me too bad. I went near Christmas time so it was all lit up. Amazing place. Vancouver is one of my favorite big cities. I could have def spent some more time there. I’m a runner so my early morning run around Stanley park from our hotel was one of the most scenic , more memorable runs of all time.

Already planned my route, 7 miles total. Is this better in the mornings or evenings?

I only went morning just after daylight and it was amazing. I ran it counter clockwise from its entry point. It has a dedicated bike lane and runners lane. Ithe scenery is so great you’ll forget you’re even running after a while. Enjoy.
I stayed at the fairmont pacific rim and highly recommend.

Yes sir. Good choice. Loved that hotel. The on site restaurant ( botanist) is bib gourmand or Michelin recommended but no star and very good. A little steep though.

Went 3/4s around then cut across on a trail. Didn’t realize they had western red cedars which look a lot like redwoods. It was hot here and the wooded, shady trail was way better.
The city is very busy and very touristy. Taking the wife to Stanley today along with Granville Island Market.

If you like Peking duck, this is the place. It's the only Michelin-starred Asian restaurant in Canada. The tableside presentation is spectacular.

My first Chinese choice was shot down by the guy at the hotel. Seems I picked the one seedy area of town. Ended up at Mott 32 which was an amazing Chinese place along the lines of the one you posted. Food was amazing, but the service was next level. Amazing experience for a walk in and no reservation.

Came to say this. Great relaxing way to spend a few hours.

Figured out the trick to this: early AM, run the seawall around the island. Later in the day when it’s hot, run the shady interior trails. Got some amazing pics.
