Review summary

We had a nice time and look forward to cruising again. The ship was nice and the staff was excellent. Every staff member we encountered said hello or good morning. Purchased the cafe select card for less than $40 and it was good for 15 specialty coffees.

Victoria, British Columbia

5 out of 5

We went on a Victoria city tour. The agents put us in the wrong line. By the time they realized their mistake the line we should have been in was enormous. We were the last to get on that bus with the only seats left were ‘jump’ seats with limited visibility. We would have been in the front of the line if the agent had not committed that error.
