May 2017 - 14 Night Great Land Explorer (Seattle Roundtrip) Cruise on Amsterdam
Excellent crew and excellent weather
Amsterdam
Sail date: May 22, 2017
Excellent crew and excellent weather
The weather was great. No rain except a drizzle one day out of fourteen days! No tendering needed was a great help in getting to and from shore. I assume this would be a great help to handicapped people. The crew was terrific. Our room stewards were the best we have ever had on a cruise. This was our fourth cruise. The food was much as expected. The excursions were excellent but a little pricey. The on board entertainment was nothing terrific except for the house singers and dancers. They put on several excellent shows. The captain and entire crew were very sociable and made for a very pleasant vacation. However on board day activities were definitely lacking. We could have used more informative daily presentations as to what we were about to see in each port.
Cruise tips
Great touristy down town area .
Took tour of Kodiak. Very nice.
Mount Roberts tram on a clear day is terrific. Great views of the surrounding area.
Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska
What a surprise! A great improvement to facilities and tours over our last trip here four years ago!
We did O! Canada! excellent tour but there are many good things to see on this wonderful town.
We took a tour of the town and then walked around town. Very nice but we had been here several times before on a cruise and in an RV.
This is a place where you can take the free shuttle to the 'spit'. We also went to see the Johnny B. show. Excellent performance for an older crowd.
Great place to get good prices on souvenirs.
