We arrived in Victoria, Canada shortly after 8 pm, with two other cruise ships, the Majestic Princess and the NCL Encore, already here. The dock is quite a ways from downtown and there is one small gift shop right at the port so, of course, it was mobbed with everyone buying last minute souvenirs. I think the line took up the entire store as it wrapped around.
At lunch time, the bakery staff put on a large display. featuring over a dozen cakes. This pictures shows maybe 1/3rd of the cakes. It was an impressive display - and very popular. The cookies and cream cake we selected was delicious.
For supper we both enjoyed sweet and sour shrimp. As with many foods, the way they look is often quite different from your expectations.
After rainy and cloudy days all week, today was clear and Mary finally got a sunset picture! It also warmed up enough so that we could enjoy sitting on our balcony as we pulled into Victoria.
If you did not read it earlier, we both enjoyed a virtual behind the scenes ship tour this morning called "City on the Sea". At the end, nearly the entire crew came out to be acknowledged.
So that's it for our last port visit. We leave here at midnight and sail a very short distance to Seattle where tomorrow we will disembark and fly home.
