My husband and I took the cruise with my niece and her son. We choose the Bliss because of all the activities that it had to offer such as water slides, laser tag and go carts. We found out after booking and paying for the cruise that many of the activities had extra charges and you needed reservations. with 4800 people it was difficult to get reservations.
The ship was average, which was surprising because it was just finished last spring. One would think that there would be state of the art sound systems in the theater and other amenities, but it seemed like they stuck with an older design.
A thing that was done well was the both the embarkation and disembarkation procedures. It was well done and didn't feel that you were tussling with 4800 passengers.
A very nice port to explore
Seattle is a wonderful place to explore.
Victoria is a vibrant and beautiful city!
