Review summary

The ship was wonderful. the staff excellent. The service was exceptional. The Open Seating was a little confusing as we thought you could still make a reservation for 6:00 but we found that not true. Only very early times and very late times. This was not what we experienced with other cruise ships. Perhaps they will sort this out with changes to dining rooms and for those that really want to get dressed up and eat at a set time and meet other people.

5 out of 5
Loved the little port across from the Empress Hotel where there was so much activity. Lovely boats for an antique boat show were at the wharf. Lots of street entertainment in this area.
Don't Miss: take a tour of the town - spend as much time as possible in Victoria and you will want to got back

Pros: We had beautiful weather, the food was great, Dining Room was exceptional.

Cons: Average Age was much older than we had experienced on other cruises. The slot machines never paid anything but then we only gambled one night. Was a little perplexed by so many automatic wheel chairs and hove arounds.

Recommends Noordam? Yes!
