At 12.17 PM we were dropped off at the Vancouver, BC Canada Port facility and quickly guided to one of the US Immigration counters before approaching the NCL Vessel check in. Both procedures completed efficiently and by 12:53 we were on board and escorted to our stateroom. After freshening up we unpacked our carry-on, loaded the safe, left a note with instructions for our room attendant and went to the buffet for a quick lunch on the 11th floor's sun-sheltered aft deck.

The hot and cold buffet food choices were plentiful, our selections were well prepared and flavorful. Even the desert choices were in part healthy, certainly plentiful and surprisingly tasty. Easy access without line-ups at the various food-stations, attentive friendly waiters supplying beverages and plenty available seating inside and outdoors, facilitated a relaxing meal while enjoying a marvelous view of Vancouver's breathtaking scenery.

The above described buffet food experience was consistent throughout the cruise with daily changing food choices. The dining room food was largely very similar to other major cruise lines, though perhaps slightly less sophisticated in the changing dailies (no Tiramisu, Creme Brulee, Sachertorte, no duck dishes, or elaborate lamb choices). However, all menu and desert items were of excellent quality, well prepared to order and! - Flavorful. The embarkation evening menu selection featured lobster, a vanishing choice at some cruise lines.
