Review summary

The whole experience was an experience of a lifetime

Embarkation

1 out of 5

The port of Vancouver was terrible. Too many lines and waiting. They were very disorganized. The first time I've ever experienced this. Very dissatisfied with the Port of Vancouver.

We did mot have children with us.
