Entertainment

1 out of 5

This is one area in which they were lacking. The quality of the evening shows was mediocre. During the day the activiities were mostly trivia type games. The did have a wonderful naturalist on board who did provide two presentations. We would have liked to hear more from here. Also lacking were group sport/athletic activities. We missed the group morning and evening walks, aerobics, etc. They did offer a 7:00 am Yoga and a pilates - both were extra costs.

Another volkswalk from the YMCA about 1.5 miles from the port. We have been to Victoria many times and always enjoy it. A new site this time was the Craigdarroch Castle - beautiful solid oak wall panels and an interesting history.

We did volkswalks in each city. We were able to see alot of sites this way. Visit www.AVA.org for the location of the maps. (Nanaimo = Howard Johnson, about 1/2 mile from the port, has the volkswalk maps). These are 10k walks. They also had a 5 k walk that did only the waterfront.
