Just returned from the Cruise and can answer questions on the ship or cruise. Next yrs. version doesn't return to Vancouver but goes directly to San Diego. It's about a cruise that take 6 Days to get there and 6 days back. With usually 4/5 Hawaiian Ports . Very relaxing and go go for a few days with lots of ship time on the way back. Fairly cool going and next year should be warm all the way back. Ship is one of Hollands largest but still not massive and plenty of stuff to do. Has been mostly a Canadian crowd but that will likely change for more US folks with the switch to San Diego. I for one will not be going. No flying for me.. The train back up the coast would have been an option when my body was younger and easier to cram into a bunk. It is a great train ride for sure back up to Vancouver. Overnight in Seattle however.
