We sailed from Vancouver (what a great city).
Boarding was straight forward and efficient and went without a hitch (including a pre-cruise test for our daughter at a hotel immediately across the road).
Overall we loved the cruise. I had been slightly worried, given a lot of the recent reviews in this forum. I needn’t have. Service was excellent and the food is on a par to our previous experience.
Stayed in a balcony cabin on the 7th floor. Life boats obscured the view (a little) but not the end of the world. The balcony cabin did feel a lot roomier than our previous experience of an internal cabin. I think they are fractionally bigger, but it feels much greater.
