Review summary

THE ABOVE AND BEYOND STAFF WAS A LADY THAT WAS ABLE TO GET US AN EXCURSION TO BUTCHART GARDENS WHEN WE GOT OFF THE BOAT, I BELIEVE SHE WAS AN NCL REP AND THE SHUTTLE DRIVER AT VICTORIA ALL WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. EVERYONE ELSE ON THE BOAT WAS VERY PLEASANT AND ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. SAFE TO SAY WE GOT EVERYTHING DONE THAT WE WANTED TO DO
