Yeah, when I say Waterfront isn't "that" opulent, I mean compared to Toronto Union Station, Washington Union Station, Winnipeg Union Station, etc.
I guess the trigger for "opulence" for me would be a soaring domed or arched ceiling of some kind.

I think the Pacific Ballroom is still the same, but it looks like some of the relief has been painted over so it's not as visible.
The BC Ballroom is the one that was expanded in the 60s/70s - they pushed it out to the south, so the whole ceiling of beams was redone with coffered squares.

PS - I don't understand the choice of incredibly gaudy carpets.
