This was my first cruise with Princess and it all started out well. I was met at the Vancouver airport and a rep helped me with my luggage over to the spot where I would get on the bus to take me to the terminal to get on board ship. He was very helpful even though I was wearing my Calgary Flames hockey shirt .. we later won the series.
Would have been nice to see the series between Vancouver and Calgary but they only have ESPN and we missed all the games and since this tour is out of Vancouver there were many who wanted to see the games , I suggest the ships going out of Canadian ports get a sports channel feed that shows western sport events that would be very nice !!!
Embarkation went very smoothly I was lucky the line was not too long when I arrived.
I love to gamble so I had the perfect room. I was on the fifth floor the casino was on the six floor, so I just went out my door with the elevators very close and hopped up one flight of stairs and the Casino, and the international Plaza and my dining room and the pursers office were all very close within one floor or two.
There was only me in my room so it was very adequate for me with plenty of hangers a comfortable bed with large fluffy pillows which I thoroughly enjoyed as I hate the flat pancake pillows you usually get when staying at a hotel.
The hair dryer was pretty slow so I was glad I had packed my own dryer.The room was very clean and in good shape and the bathroom adequate for me no problems there, I do like their shower system with two controls one for temp of water and one for how much water and shower head was good.
Drawers might have been a problem with two people as not as much drawer space or closet space as other ships but not a problem as only one person in room.
Victoria is a lovely city with many things to do but I just visited with my daughter this time but for those who want to see things this is a very exciting and interesting port
Only came in from Calgary with an hour until boarding ship so had no time to see Stanley Park or any of the other great attractions in Vancouver but for others lots of good attractions to go to if you have the time .
