Overall, the cruise was great, only because we had great weather for about 7 out of 11 days; minimal to little rain was experienced which made the walking, the tours and excursions better to best! Post cruise, I would have taken this cruise tour out of Seattle instead of Vancouver due to logistics getting in and out of Vancouver and time of embarkation and disembarkation, and to by pass Victoria port a call
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation was delayed; not sure the ship was ready as they do quick turnarounds. Had to wait in three different rooms before boarding?
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Specialty Restaurants were great; as well as the main dining rooms; but we stayed clear of the buffets; way to crowded and repetitive foods.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Shows, entertainment, and music. comedies were great. Other entertainment was too woke and catered to one group of voyeurs

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service was great, as the more personable you got, the better service was provided. I wrote down names and countries to reward them!!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Cleanliness was outstanding; however they did have many malfunctions on board and the ship design was less than satisfactory, as elevators and stairs would only take you so far, thus you had to go up a stair or elevator to get back down to a restaurant or other location (this was more than 3 bad deck designs)?
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Comfort, size and cleanliness was excellent; an experienced cruiser so know the size of the shower (lol), but the closet space was excellent!!
Ship tip
Get a balcony suite or cabin mid-ship; this will better assist your visits to all entities on board and all decks
Flowers galore; must take a shuttle to get into town; and cruise line should have had one for free, but they did not. In all actuality, this cruise port should be skipped, as the time at port was over 12 hours and I would have like to spent an extra time in Vancouver.
Thanks for reviewing. Victoria is a required legal stop so it doesn’t get the port time like Alaska. We just stayed on ship here. Too tired to venture out. And enjoyed an emptier ship to get gelato with no lines.
