Exploring Victoria British Columbia | Whale Watching | My Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruise Review!!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a visit to Victoria, British Columbia, during an Alaskan cruise on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. After spotting a pod of orcas from the ship's pool deck, the travelers attempt to book last minute whale watching tours but find they are sold out due to a delayed port arrival. They explore downtown Victoria on foot, visiting Fisherman's Wharf and dining at Garrick's Head Pub, where they enjoy poutine and local whiskey. The video also captures the experience of rough seas and motion sickness on the return journey. In a final cruise review, the creator highlights several positives, including the spacious junior suite, the quality of Coastal Kitchen, the casino, and the reliable Starlink Wi-Fi. However, they express dissatisfaction with the Windjammer buffet, noting poor food quality and extreme crowding. The creator concludes that while the large ship felt crowded and sometimes short-staffed, the overall experience was phenomenal, though they intend to seek out smaller ships for future Alaskan voyages to get closer to the scenery.
