What all did you guys do in Astoria, Victoria, and Vancouver?  Did you book shore excursions or go at it alone?

HI... Our cruise ports kept changing, ending up with 2 days at sea (when Monterey was cancelled), Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver. Ours was a 5 night cruise.

In Seattle we did a "Half-Day Guided Tour of Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls" ( https://www.viator.com/tours/Seattle/Snoqualmie-Falls-and-Seattle-City-Tour/d704-7265P1?medium=social-share-copy ) and it was a great experience. Small group, and the tour operator was so interesting. Shutter Tours took us to places I've never been to in the Seattle area, and I've been to Seattle many times, with family living about 90 minutes outside of Seattle. Shutter Tours also gave us some great photo tips, and used our phones to take photos for us. We walked to the pick-up point, and were dropped back at in the same area, easy walking distance to the ship.

In Victoria we did a "Victoria Guided Food and History Tour" ( https://www.viator.com/tours/Victoria/Guided-Food-and-History-Tour/d617-45346P1?medium=social-share-copy ) and it was AWESOME! Small group, great food offerings, pleasant walking tour. We took a taxi from the ship to the meeting place, but walked back to the ship after.

In Vancouver we booked an RCCL excursion that was a bus tour around the city, with a stop at Stanley Park and then a drop off at the airport. For this cruise, we've decided to stay the weekend in Vancouver. We've booked an AirBnB for Friday and Saturday night.

Here's a video of our food tour in Victoria, BC. We also went to a chocolate store at the end of the tour!

Oops... I forgot that this cruise isn't going to Seattle. I deleted the video for Seattle.

Decent drink package deals this weekend...

[miles4us2go]

November discounts are out. These are probably the Black Friday deals. I'm going to go ahead and book my refreshment package (not a big drinker.) I'll check on Black Friday and Cyber Monday to see if there is any additional discounts, though. There are discounts on everything.
