August 23 21st day OTR 14th day OTS


Well, today is our last day on board. We will be stopping in Victoria from noon to about 11 pm. The trip to Seattle overnight will be short since we are just across the Straits of Juan de Fuca from Seattle.

We had our disembarkation talk this morning along with the crew farewell. They had many of them up on the stage and then sang “Love in any language” . It sounds hokey when you write it but it is always a moving experience. We spoke with one young lady in the bar who was also on the world cruise and she said when those passengers left after 112 days many of the crew cried because they had gotten to know them so well.


I have an invitation to meet with the Hotel Manager this morning for feedback about the cruise in general and our meet and greet in particular. Holland America Line works very hard to understand its passengers and improve from cruise to cruise.
 
Inner harbour and legislative building in Victoria

Victoria weather was sunny and around 68F, so warmer than we have seen for a couple of weeks but it was very windy. Lots of flowers all around. We walked into the old city, near the legislature and down to Chinatown.
