We selected this cruise to experience the West coast ports of the United States, and it certainly provided an outstanding overview. The ports from Santa Barbara to Victoria were well selected, and each entertained in a different way. We took the ship's journey to Reagan Library in Santa Barbara, and it far exceeded our expectations (Imagine being on Air Force 1); our independent journey to Alcatraz in San Francisco was the most organized handling of thousands of people I have ever witnessed; the Maritime museum in Astoria was a historical view of Astoria's past and was excellent; Victoria's visit was diminished, despite the captains excellent handling, by the weather. Would love to go back.

The ship was immaculate as was our room, the people crew were great and the embarking and disembarking were our best in 20+ cruises. Our wait staff in my time dining were excellent, however the food was inconsistent and the fish and shell fish severely overcooked. We were well entertained by all the performances we viewed, but often just relaxed to music in the large lounge.

We would return to the West Coast with RC, but would visit different ports except Victoria
