Review summary

Friendly staff overall.  A lot of activities for both kids and adults.

The only big issues are taste of food at Windjammer, and the stop at Victoria, BC, Canada.

Some items/drinks tasted weird.  The stop at Victoria was a total waste of time!

It's only three and a half hours from Seattle. Any stop in Alaska would have been better.

We live in Victoria and there is lots to do here, not sure why you think it's a waste of time?

The excursions there are great!

because they didn't do anything and probably don't realize the ship has to make a port call outside of the US A...some ships just have an evening call in Victoria, you really need the whole day there, it's a beautiful Victorian city full of charm, shops, horse and buggy rides
