This was our first Pacific coastal. The itinerary had three ports with the first being in Nanaimo which was only two hours away which magically took eight. The excursions were very local and being on them felt like part of the community. The voyage once we hit open seas was a bit rocky as the ship listed heavily in the waves and wind. The crew was attentive to our needs and I did not hear of any other passengers having any issues. The entertainment was good not only the headliners but the Celebrity dance troop as well.

The only thing I disliked is when the ship went into refit and the new restaurants were put in they took away from common space on the ship. This also meant some sea doors were closed so when navigating the ship you sometimes felt like a mouse in a maze as you weaved through the ship.
