Review summary

We were truly amazed at the spaciousness and cleanliness of our cabin and remained so throughout the duration of our cruise. There was a variety of excursions to choose from each day, the on-board enrichment programs were marvelous as well as the nightly entertainment. Every day we had the most delicious meals expertly prepared and followed by a variety of delectable desserts.

Gourmet food served in a spacious light filled dining room. The food never stopped coming, check out the lounge foods of light breakfast, twice a day cookie hour, and appetizers at cocktail hour.

My sister has traveled on numerous cruises, so the first thing I did when I saw the size of our cabin, I sent her a picture as I was a amazed how large the cabin was. My sister agreed!

Don't miss the excursion to The Butchart Gardens. For those tea lovers, try the London Fog tea and the cafe.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASHINGTON

5 out of 5
Lovely to walk around the port village and wander thru the shops.

POULSBO, WA

5 out of 5
Such a quaint small port. The Viking donuts sold at Sluys Bakery on Main Street are the size of your face and are delicious. Get there early as a line forms outside the bakery, but the line moves quickly.

Disembarkation

Crew was extremely helpful with our luggage and waited until our designated driver arrived at 5:45am!
