It was a nice local cruise for us. We got to see some fall foliage in Vancouver and Victoria and the weather was absolutely perfect.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate at the MDR, LeBistro, LaCucina, Moderno and Cagneys... We ate at the Buffet for breakfast. They had a good variety of food. We ate at Topsiders when we returned from excursions and the above named Speciality restaurants throughout the week. By far, Cagney's was a hit!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We went to a few of the game shows and they were hilarious. The hot tub was not crowded and a welcome relief since it was cold in Vancouver and Victoria...
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The theater shows were all good, especially the Cirque show...
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service staff in all the dining rooms were exceptional and efficient. The bar staff, especially in the Martini Bar went above and beyond. They provided prompt service, got to know what we were drinking and made sure we never went dry. Two of the servers even greeted us at several other spot on the ship..

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was spotless and you could see someone always cleaning something wherever you went.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin was kept spotless and the steward was very attentive. Our mini suite had an extra long hallway. I thought it was a waste of space, could have been utilized in the sleeping/living area. Also had a tub which was hard to climb in and out of. Would have preferred just a walk-in shower.
We took a walking Tour that ended in the heart of the city. Went to an excellent Irish Pub. Since it was cold we have their famous Irish coffee and bowl of soup... mmm mmm good! If you have time before you go back to the ship, take a hydroplane ride. It was beautiful...
We took a private Tour. Ended up at Boudin Bakery and Cafe on Fisherman's Wharf. They make their own sourdough bread and you can get a Clam Chowder bread bowl which is absolutely delicious. We got a bonus as the Blue Angels were practicing over the San Francisco Bay for the air show.
We made our way down to the Mission San Carlos and Carmel by the Sea. Just off the ship is Old Fisherman's Wharf and just past that is Fisherman's Shoreline Park that will take you directly to Cannery Row.
