It's Up to your cruise line to be involved with USA direct. If they aren't then there is no option.

A 12.05 PM flt. from Vancouver is always questionable. Due to a lot of things like ship being late into port. late being cleared you know the usual. General advice from out here is 1 PM earliest.........

BUT: If you did get to carry off in the first bunch and were able to get a cab and leave right away I think you could do it. It's mid week right ? Piers make a difference also. Are you at Canada Place ? Ballantyne is generally slower for cabs but once in a cab it's quicker to the airport from there.
Something else to consider is, are there other ships in at the same time? My ship calendar won't load from "Port of Vancouver" site just now. .. they have upgraded and left some of us behind. You can check that here <http://www.portmetrovancouver.com/about/cruiseandtourism/cruiselineschedules.aspx>

So the long answer is........... likely if all is on time. Depends on your comfort zone if you want to try it. I know that people do.

Let me know if there is something else you may wish to put into the mix.
