Review summary

Cruise was very good. Staff mentioned above did exceptional work and should be recognized. Port time was too short in Victoria to really tour the city--a disappointment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Michael at the pool bar was very hard working and did and excellent job. He deserves a promotion because of his hard work and attention to detail about those that he serves. Our stew for b407 was also very hard working and conscientious about our room cleanliness and our schedule. Roland the director of food operations was by far the most enjoyable and capable individual I met on the ship. His explanations and insights of ship operations, logistics, and meal preparations was educational and interesting. He should be the captain. (I wish he had the licenses) I also hope to see him again on future cruises.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It is anew ship so it was in very good shape and mostly clean. Navigation was very easy for me, but many individuals do not understand port and starboard and were lost getting back to there rooms. Change the flooring carpet on either side of the ship to different colors like your ones to help those older, or challenged individuals to navigate better.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Everything was great. Cleanliness was fine. size was what I expected. Stew was very accommodating and worked very hard for are small requests and schedules.

Ship tip

see if there is a different drink package. you do not need 15 per day.

Glad you had a good time despite the quick stop in Victoria. Once you find out why the ship is required to make that stop even though it is not practical as a cruise port day, it will make sense.
