sakage.shinga Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi guys, Has anyone ever made use of BC Ferries online reservation feature for the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay sailings? What exactly are the advantages? Do you avoid the long lineups and are gurranteed a spot on the sailing of your choosing? My family is going over the the island this weekend. Thanks!

inane Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yes. $15 reservation fee guarantees you a spot. You have to show up between 30-60 minutes before the sailing. It's worth it on busy weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Exactly what Inane said. Although there is no special line-up to get to the terminal toll booth, once inside all the reservations are put in a special lane (or two). Then when loading starts, all the reservation cars get on first. If you have any sort of time restrictions, it is worth it on a busy summer weekend. Any other time of the year, I don't bother.

Dion Phaneuf Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't think it's worth it...just leave early for the Ferry (if possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Pfff it's only 15 bucks, what is that over what you're paying already. If you have to be on a ferry then you should, but you do kind of feel silly sitting in the reservations lane on a half-full ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonMexico Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 BC Ferries is a joke. Raise the rates, reduce services, executives get raises while crying poor, etc, etc. I wouldn't pay them anymore then absolutely necesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
