Review summary

It was a fabulous amazing cruise! One of our top vacations. I will totally do it again. The crew were amazing. The cabin was clean and spacious with great views from our balcony. The ship was clean. The atmosphere was energizing. The food was good. Lots of options for food and drinks. Great entertainment. Expect long lines for somethings. They move pretty quickly. Totally worth doing.

Loved the Salmon Bake. Great food and great scenery. Didn’t care for the haggling when I went into some of the stores. One place kept insisting we look at more jewelry after we had said multiple times we were not interested.

Wouldn’t waste money on a excursion unless it was to the gardens. I heard they were beautiful. We did the OCanada tour which was a bus ride. I should have just taken a peddle bike into town and explored on my own.

Disembarkation

Long lines but went fairly quick. We did the velvet program to the airport and that was awesome.
