Review summary

Honestly We booked this ship and this itinerary in part because it had the North Star, it was going to Skagway and Victoria BC and unfortunately - the North Star was broken and we never made it to these 2 ports. Food was OK Not sure that I would book Royal again - just overall not a great experience

Victoria, British Columbia

1 out of 5

So very disappointed we were not able to get off - we had plans to see friends that we had not seen in 5 years at this port. Though I appreciated then urgency to remove the person with the medical emergency I feel that after the coast guard exchange our ship slowed down quite a bit and could have still made the port
