      It compares the day with a typical Vancouver day with ships. Quiet is under half of that, Light 50–85%, Typical 85–115%, Busy 115–150% and Peak more than one and a half times. Each port is compared with itself, so a Busy day in a small port has far fewer people than one in a big homeport.

      Most ships in Vancouver are on turnaround: one cruise ends and the next one boards on the same day. Terminals, roads and parking are busiest on those days.

      The calendar covers this month and the next 11 months of published itineraries. Lines add and change calls, so dates further out can still move.
