For a "cruise to nowhere" it was OK. We wanted to get away and the price was right ($99 plus port fees/taxes).
Not a lot of time to see much entertainment, but we did see one of the new ones with special effects - excellent (and of course I can't remember the name). The singers and dancers were very good.

Vancouver is an ...

We have now had balcony, oceanview and interior staterooms.
