We just returned from a cruise to Alaska which included a stop in 
Victoria.  (This was my first cruise and I've confirmed what I 
suspected... I'm not the "cruising" type).   I didn't notice anyone 
having difficulty getting into Canada and, with some cruise ships having 
the reputation for a lot of partying, I'm wondering if DUI or DWI is 
handled differently with those coming by way of cruise lines.  As 
neither of us has a record, I can't confirm cruise exits are handled 
differently.  But it was very easy to get into Canada from a cruise ship.

btw, the one benefit I got from the cruise is that I saw lots of places 
I want to revisit to spend more time and kayak/camp/explore in Alaska.   
Just not from a boat with a population that ranges in the thousands.
