Really.  I think most kids are actually better off with a little more shut eye, on balance.    Not sure what the complaint is.

 

Strong fumes wafted through the ship into cabins, particles of materials and dust clouds filled outdoor areas, and the sounds of pounding and grinding continued late into the night, Locke said. She was on the trip with husband Lindsay and sons Ramsay, 13, and Hamish, 11.

 

“It was a full-on construction zone.”

 

One morning Ramsay woke up with his eyes “glued shut,” she said.

 

He had been playing basketball outdoors the day before and she believes he was affected by the construction.

 

Compresses eventually opened his eyes and the boy visited the on-board doctor, who prescribed drops, Locke said.

Sounds like pink eye. Maybe too much late night pounding and grinding!

That story finally made the national news in the US, I guess some Americans must have complained as well.

The largest capacity cruise ship ever built docks in Victoria and no one takes particular notice? 

They must be packed like sardines!

The Westerdam was supposed to dock at 1300 but has been prevented from doing so because of the strong winds. It is sitting in the strait.

It'll be a pretty rough ride for anyone coming ashore on tenders.

It is blustery out there.

Here she is.

Now THIS would be a sight to behold in local waters.

Sounds like another parking problem to blame on bike lanes.

It's impressive that CBSA can clear 1800 people so fast here locally, they must set cruise ships as super-low threat priority.

She’s making her way closer to shore, albeit very, very slowly.

Maybe CBSA staff boarded the ship before docking and began clearing passengers in advance.

Also, who checks them going back on the ship at midnight tonight?  Anyone?  Or does US people screen them when they disembark in Seattle?

Docked at 5:45pm.  CTV says only 150 passengers (out of 1800) are expected to come ashore.  Not sure if that's a typo like the last one in this thread.

The Norwegian Bliss will arrive in Victoria on Friday, June 1st. It'll be the largest ship to ever dock here.

Norwegian Bliss, at 330 meters in length and the largest cruise ship to ever visit Victoria, is off the coast of Renfrew right now.

CHEK News will be featuring a tour of the NB tomorrow.
