Best experience of my life. The only thing that I hated about my experience and this has nothing to do with the ship. Is I was flying with United airlines and they badly damaged my suitcase and when I went back after the cruise they damaged another suitcase of mine so on this trip 2 really badly damaged suitcases.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Wow what can I say. Food was amazing. Dining experience was amazing.
My husband and I went to food republic and that’s the only place we didn’t enjoy so much. The food was amazing don’t get me wrong but the service was just rushed. The table wasn’t that big and my husband and I had the dinning package that includes 4 items each for us to choose. And they basically just brought all 4 items at ones to us that made it hard because the table was crowded. Otherwise food was amazing no complaints otherwise.
Food Republic
3 out of 5
My husband and I had the dinner package and our plan includes for each of us to choose 4 items. After we ordered they started bringing the food. I just felt rushed. They don’t give you a break in between. They brought everything at ones and table just felt crowded with all the items. After we were done eating they brought the bill for us to sign didn’t ask if we wanted something else or have another drink. Food was amazing there but just felt like they wanted us in and out and not hang out there for an hour or so.

Wow omw. I was like a hotel on water but after the cruise it’s way better than a hotel. I wish I could live on the cruise forever.
Cabin / Stateroom

Room was just the right size for my husband and I. Stateroom balcony. Just miss waking up opening the sliding door and smell the fresh air of the ocean.
Ship tip
If you’re a person eating healthy and want to continue your diet don’t.you are going to miss out on so much awesome food. If you love to drink on vacation take the adult beverage package you would not regret it. Go chill at spice h2O if you don’t have kids. Because it’s fun no kids running around they have a jacuzzi and the best cocktails ever.
Wow what a great town. My husband and I did the kayak excursion in this town. That was so much fun. When we were done we walked around the town for a while until we had to be back onboard. We visited creek street that was nice.
Wow gorgeous place. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to explore this town. When we got to port my husband and I went up mount Roberts. It’s a bit of a hike up there so be prepared and wear comfortable shoes and clothes. We came back down after about out and a half went back to the ship because our next excursion we had to meet there.
We then went for the glacier walkabout. That is the helicopter tour and then you get special shoes and tracing stick to walk on the glacier. They teach you about the glacier and all that. It’s a bit expensive but well worth it.
Wow how amazing. We were on the right side of the ship. Make sure you get a balcony room on that side because you are going to have the best view of the glacier in the luxury of your own room.
My husband and I did the ATV excursion that was fun but just make sure you don’t mind getting dirty. After that excursion my husband and I went back the the ship to take a shower because you will be muddy. We then went to go walk around. This town was very small and very boring so make sure you have excursions all day. Beautiful you have a lot of time to kill. We wanted to go to the town but didn’t want to walk because didn’t have enough time. They have a shuttle service that changes $5 to take to the town but we asked the girl working there when the next bus is and couldn’t give us an answer said they just run back and forth. They didn’t have a radio system that tells the stuff they on there way back. That annoyed us because we are on a tight schedule and can’t take a change on taking the shuttle and don’t know when it’s going to come back.
We didn’t do any excursions in Victoria. We went to a South African store to buy some South African goodies because I’m South African and have been staying in the states for about 3 years so was craving some of my home country food. We went to china town afterwards and then just walked around. FYI don’t put your stuff down on the floor or anywhere because there is a lot of homeless because hanging around. If you love ice cream go to chocolats favoris out there ice cream is amazing. If you are cruising on the Joy. You only back on board the ship 9:30pm so you have a long day In Victoria.
I always say please and thank you and always tried to make it easier by stacking my dishes for the staff to take away especially in the garden cafe. I know you are own vacation and there to relax but doesn’t mean you should forget your manners. Be nice to the staff they work very hard.
