A Cruise Ship to . . . Nowhere!

Last month my mom asked if I wanted to attend a luncheon and musical presentation being presented by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. I was keen and what was even more interesting was that it was happening on a cruise ship!


We got down to Canada Place by 10am, [temporarily] surrendered our drivers licenses, and then lined up to get on board.


Starting just after 11am, VSO conductor, Bramwell Tovey, provided a 50 minute musical performance, interspersed with some fascinating historical insights into Beethoven. He also did a little up-selling on the upcoming symphony season but did so in a very delightful manner.


We then had a delicious lunch, before being allowed to explore the ship. Taking photos on it provided a very different perspective of downtown that I'm not used to.
