Victoria, British Columbia Port Reviews

Either remove this stop or give more time to explore. Arrived around 9 pm and had to board by 11 pm. Very beautiful town but felt rushed

not really anything to do after 8pm but take a walk.

Did not like this pool at that much to do what’s the little bit then went back to the ship

Another disappointment. on a previous trip we arrived in Victoria in mid afternoon and were bussed into town free of charge. We spent a few hours walking around the downtown area and had a meal. This time we arrived at 8:30 and for $15.00 were bussed into town, sharing the busses with another cruise ship. For the very limited time allowed we were packed elbow to elbow with several thousand other cruise ship passengers before lining up for the limited number of busses available to get us back to the ship. A sad visit to a wonderful and magical city.

A night time port call. Rode around on a bus. Nuff said.

Loved it but not enough time there. We were there just to say we had been to another country. Would love to have spent more time looking around and touring. Little costly for the cab to get you to downtown and then you had to get a cab back to the ship.

STUPID JONES ACT!! Who pulls into a town at 8 pm and leaves at 11 pm?? Worthless stop!!

This was a beautiful city and the weather was great. I saw this big castle and big totem poles. I had a walking tour; however, the excursion pier staff directed me to the wrong area, twice and I missed meeting my group. I ended up walking by myself from the pier, and it was great and I ended seeing pretty much everything I would have seen on the guided tour. Lesson here was: don't pay 60$ to walk around town when you can do it yourself for free! I went into town, and even went inside an indoor mall (something I haven't seen in the U.S. for over a decade)! This was a really nice city and really question HOW and WHY others complain about this city in their reviews. I had a wonderful time!

Butchart Gardens made for a magnificent excursion. Truly stunning.

Great port. Nice shuttle provided every 15 min.
