The celebration boats are terrible in the wind. The spirits and queens are so much better.

I think once we get newer boats with actual coastal capability again, we'll be fine.

Unless you're talking about passenger comfort, you're wrong. The Coastal class ships are excellent in heavy winds and can dock safely in winds 10+ knots higher than the single ended ships like the Spirits or the Queen of New Westminster (saying queen in general is useless as it covers ships that have nothing in common with each other). The Coastal class has its fair share of issues, but when the winds get above 40 knots as they have the past week I would much rather be on a coastal going into Tsawwassen than anything else.
