I was very impressed with the over all use of space on the ship. We put a puzzle together in the game room, we had the best excisions to see the local area in the small towns. We got great service from the crew and enjoyed the talks about the area from the historian. The art classes were excellent completing a small painting together each day of the local area. The food was delicious with choice seafood and tender loin and lamb. We slept very well every night. The crew was happy and helpful.

Ship Quality

I like the design of this ship with the elevators in the middle you could easily get from floor to floor and find your way to the Sky Lounge for a buffet and beverage. The appetizers were always good at happy hour with our friends we made on board.

We enjoyed our private balcony in our spacious cabin with two twin beds, two side tables and chairs, chest of drawers, desk and a private full size bathroom.
Ship tip
I would go early to dinner so you get a good set at the entertainment in the Cascade lounge.
We cruised through the Salish Sea and saw deer grazing in the grassy hill, seals on the rocks by the water edge, a few small whales and harbor porpoises and some eagles.
We arrived the day before the Dungenous Crabfest and enjoyed their entertainment of music and craft booths. i also had an excursion to Lake Cresent to walk through the giant trees and drink lavender lemonade at the resort.
This is a historic town we walked through to see several boat building places, and good hat stores and great excursion to the War area that was ready for war but they didn't have one. we could walk to a good light house on a coast line trail.
The FOSS Waterway Seaport Museum is excellent to see the history of the town. We had the Sweet Tour excursion to buy candy at the famous stores Roca in the Famous Worlds Fair Booth and more.
This port is big with the USS Turner Joy a self guided tour of a Navy Ship memorialized as the best destroyer in the Pacific fleet. Excellent tour of the Bonsai Elandan Gardens to see thousand year old trees that are small but beautiful.
