Your total is what I got. You're not looking at the total, just the price for the cabin. Add them up.

Ohhh haha shoot! Glad I don’t do the books!

I was initially booked into a four bed and waitlisted for a two. They got me the two and re-sent the adjusted invoice for the room. I see now! Too late combined with too early. Thanks for pointing that out! Still feels like a great price given what we paid in June pn bc ferries.

Local shipyards could have built at least some of BC Ferries’ new ships right here at home, instead of in China — that’s the conclusion of a previously-unseen report, obtained by CHEK News, that was given to the provincial government two years ago.

 

The report, commissioned by North-Vancouver based shipyard Seaspan in 2023, outlines how thousands of jobs and billions in economic revenue were possible for the province under a plan to phase in construction of seven new C-class major vessels locally, in the process creating a homegrown maritime shipbuilding industry.

With the Thanksgiving long weekend underway, the BC Ferry & Marine Workers’ Union is asking travellers to be patient with members, as a “disturbing” number of ferry workers report abuse from the public.

 

The union, which represents members who work for BC Ferries, conducted a survey and found a whopping 80 per cent of respondents reported that they have been threatened with violence while on the job.

 

Nearly all respondents, 92 per cent, reported witnessing staff members being threatened with violence, while nearly 65 per cent said such incidents have affected their mental health.

 

The abuse has led to nearly half of the respondents saying they’ve considered quitting, according to the union.

 

“Behind every sailing is a crew doing their best to get British Columbians where they need to go,” said union president Eric McNeely in a statement Friday.
