Review summary

If you have the flexibility, look for "drop and go" fares which become available close to sail date.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fairly long line for security check, but be sure to get your medallion PRIOR to boarding the ship. Many people hadn't and were waiting in long lines. We walked right by.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Both the steak house and italian restaurants were good. Be prepared for a BIG meal at the Italian joint.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Very happy friendly staff. Service could not have been better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The larger shower in the mini-suite alone was probably worth the price of admission.

Ship tip

Get the medallion prior to sail date!! Also, if you buy the plus package, and intend on eating at both specialty restaurants, upgrade to Premier. The cost of the upgrade (which includes two specialty meals) is less than the cost of booking two meals there..

Ports of call

San Francisco, California

5 out of 5
Among the most beautiful cities in the world.

Victoria, British Columbia

5 out of 5
Butchart Gardens made for a magnificent excursion. Truly stunning.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Vancouver was a beautiful city. Stayed two nights at the Wedgewood Hotel...highly recommend. Took a bike ride around Stanley park, beautiful urban park with great vistas.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We passed on leaving the bags for the porters to take allowing us the privelidge of leaving on our own terms. We literally walked right off the ship.
