The best part was that I got to see many Orca whales! The train ride was good. The Butchart Gardens and Victoria city tour was a rip-off. We were in the gardens for only about 45 minutes before the fireworks and the tour consisted of going to and from the ship. For the cost of $238 we were very much taken advantage off. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Drinks were expensive. Being charged for bottled water and soft drinks is chintzy. Some of the extras, like bowling, should not have been charged. Disrespectful to Jim, Tim, Lace and other performers to have them next to the bars, which were noisy. No quiet space provided. The game room was right next to the library and was very noisy. Even with these annoyances, the trip was a good one. Next time we cruise we will do a smaller ship, adults only.
