BC Ferries plans to sell alcoholic beverages with a meal in select Coastal Cafes on three major routes connecting Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island.
In the coming months, BC Ferries plans to introduce B.C. wine, craft beer, ciders and other alcoholic beverages to the menu in Coastal Cafes on vessels sailing the following routes:
Tsawwassen (Vancouver) – Swartz Bay (Victoria)
Tsawwassen (Vancouver) – Duke Point (Nanaimo)
Horseshoe Bay (West Vancouver) – Departure Bay (Nanaimo)
“BC Ferries continually seeks ways to enhance and add value to our customers’ experience and offering alcoholic beverages in select Coastal Cafes is in response to customer feedback,” the company said.
It will be served in limited quantities by staff who have their Serving It Right certification. Alcoholic beverages will be limited to two drinks per customer 19 years of age or older, and must be purchased with a meal. BC Ferries expects to begin introducing the new offerings by the end of summer 2022 and will provide customers with an update when the details are finalized.

Because it is oh so important that customers get their drink on rather than getting a decent meal other than the overpriced burgers, yet another reason to bring your own food until they get their act together!

Brilliant! I hope the RCMP will be ready to capture the drunk drivers coming off the ferry.
