Nice port, more selection to buy gifts. Did the city tour which was great. The brewery was great for suds and food.

Thumbs Up 3

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

I'm sure it was great but the city was further away, we were only there a few hours and we were tired from activities on the ship.
