Thanks John. I did call Princess this morning, although I didn't get
too much info. They can't tell me yet where the Victoria Shuttle drops
us off until we're on the ship apparently. I have no clue what "in
town" means. My only concern is that we chose that option over a
sightseeing tour only to find out all the shops are closed. Hopefully,
we can make that decision on board without all of our choices sold out.
I do agree about the gardens, though...not really being a
flower/nature kind of girl. It just seemed like a good idea at first.

Victoria isn't that large so you really don't need to worry about
where you will be dropped off. My guess is that it will be near the
Empress Hotel. That puts you in the center of almost everything with
the parliament buildings and the BC museum basically toward the ship
and the shopping (parliament. the inner harbour,the empress and the
shopping area all line up)

Sounds good, thanks. I looked at the google satellite map of the area,
so I have an idea where that all is. :-)

I should have nmentioned, since you have google maps open that the
ship will be out in the outer harbour. which as you can see is n't
really far from the center of things.


I'll look again. Thanks John and Joseph for all the info. I really
appreciate it. :-)
