We live in the State of Washington and it was about a 75 minute drive from our house, through Canadian Customs and parking in the lower levels at Canada Place, They took our luggage, then an elevator ride up and we were on our way through check in, and customs. I think we might have waited 5 minutes, then onto the ship by 11:00. One of the most absolutely pain-less embarkations we have ever done in 25 cruises. Lunch in the Ocean View, along with visiting with a few people on this ever so friendly cruise, and our room was ready.
The entire cruise was GREAT. The water was smooth the entire trip. My favorite part was the three hours at the Hubbard Glacier. The Captain got within a half mile, although the glacier is so huge, it seemed like we could almost touch it.
The entertainment was quite good overall. Singers and Dancers did several shows that were all very good. A couple nights of comedians were so-so, Two highlight entertainment features were the A cappella group from Vox Audio, and The Not Really the Three Tenors. Both were fabulous!!!!
Cabin was just fine. We spend so little time in our cabin, we mostly pick an inside. We thought it was larger than most other insides. Our room steward did a perfect job.
