- Ever wondered what it is like behind the scenes on board a BC Ferries vessel? Well, wonder no more.
Black Press Media reporter Nicholas Pescod toured aboard BC Ferries' Coastal Celebration to find out why the wifi doesn't work, what happens if the engine goes down, why the vessel never turns around and much more.

Not all of BC Ferries’ ships are double ended. The two Spirit class vessels, the Queen of New Westminster, the Northern Expedition, the Northern Adventure, and the Northern Sea Wolf are all conventional, single bow and stern vessels, as are a couple of their smaller ferries, like the Tachek and the Quadra Queen II. They all have to turn around at one end of their routes.
Looks like you've done some research, unlike the 90% of fake or mislead opinions on TH-cam.
The Costal class is the pride of the fleet!
The Spirit of British Columbia has only one helm and has to turn around at each docking.
completely wrong, you're making so much stuff up.
@@brettzke you haven’t been on the Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay run- MC Spirit of British Columbia.
@@brettzke from photos of recent ferries I’ve seen, they load and unload at both ends. The Spirit of British Columbia was built in 1993- so it’s not new.
Nope lets say a ferry came from Victoria to Vancouver they would use the same FERRY to go whatever there next sailing place is they don’t un load then sail back
@@brettzke you this you that, I am getting sick of know it alls..
This ferry is overkill on the Duke Point route due to the Seawest Lounge on deck 6 and all of deck 5 never being open
But oh boy can it fit a lot of Semi-Trucks on it.
You mean the Celebration is overkill as a spare on the SB to TW run.
Well done ty
I’m sure the Canadian navy doesn’t have problems with wifi.
correct, I bet they don't have any wifi to have problems with.
@@brettzke good point.
The navy doesnt have a problem with anything, they're NATO trained killing machines.
“Wifi”
Cruise ships have wifi...
IMPORTANT.......
Why does it cost so much $$$$$$ to go on a ferry..???????
It doesn't hahaha
I dont think you understand it's costs are higher for those big trips not the necessary ones like inter island ones.
I think i was drinking that nite sorry to affend ppl i dont remember much about that nite sorry again......
@@derekcoxon3807 no offence, BC ferries is a rip off filling the coffers for politicians, with their six figured elite CEO and right wing hateful commissioner with a pile of stupid people all college dropouts, immigrants with their six figure briberies, all trained under the corporate establishment of WHITE lawyers and bankers who haven't solved a damn thing since it's inception.
like having sex and crashing a boat loaded with passengers LOL Good ol BC ferries
They carry thousands of passengers across the waters safely everyday and only get criticized.
They have the BEST ice cream in the cafeteria
I got food poisoning from a runny egg scoop breakfast from their elitst Nat Bailey Social Credit owned cafeteria, BC Ferries never responded or gave a damn after I complained in person to a 65 year outdated white Captain. I was out of work for for a week, I will never eat their shit service again. They've even killed people, but we never hear about that.
And they can’t turn a profit!
They shouldn’t have to. Our ferry system should be considered an extension of our highways.
@@ransom182 Well then it’s working out just fine then. They actually lose money.
money is an illusion, its a tool for the lowest common denomiator who climb the corporate ladder.
470 Sailings per a day? Wtf you serious?
With a fleet of 36 vessels making about an average of 12 or so sailings per day, 470 is not an off number really
@@elliebean368 people who protect inhumane corporations controlled by the elite, lawyers, and bankers who haven't solved a damn thing belong in the gas chamber.
@@airbear9445 ??? I literally typed numbers in a calculator how am I upholding an "inhumane corporation?" Who hurt you?
@@elliebean368 Thanks for the question Ellie, Socred Nat Bailey's egg scoop gave me food poisoning in the eighties for which back then was not appropriate to complain to a crown corp establishment. A friends friend died on the ramp accident in the ninteies. I was body searched for weapons after their terrorism hysteria during the 2010 Olympics. It goes on and on, the customer service remains shity where all college dropout employees scrape for a pay cheque and could give a damn about the public. Not to mention the six figured CEO and commissioner for who doesn't do a damn thing but keep a seat warm from his $3 million dollar coastal golf course estate he calls a cabin and his 30' yacht.

All of you riders planning on using the Canadian Ferries NEED to CALL the Canadian Ferry and COMPLAIN, I did many times and they are now changing the ridiculous fees they charge for motorcycles, our bikes to not take as much square footage as a car, yet they claim they charge per square footage, WELL, it should be LESS, not MORE and they range from $500 to $1,200 ONE WAY on the Canadian Ferries. The Ferry Management are receptive to bikers IF YOU CALL THEM. They are now planning to LOWER their fares for motorcycles. Most riders are avoiding the Ferries, till they lower their prices. Call their 800 number and VOICE YOUR OPINION. Thank you!
$500 to $1200 what the hell are you talking about?
@@keeganherbert2654 you this you that, just another Todd Bertussi fan of abhorent behaviour.
Horrendous personal trauma and lifetime stigma. That's what. I'd rather ride a Mexican ferry. Hands down.
I rode the boat from Cancun to Ilsa Mujeras. It was cheap, it was fast, and safe. Very pleasant tourist experience and no facade of corporate coup de ta of white socred elites.
