Review summary
Just completed our sixth HAL cruise . . . this time Alaska on the Westerdam.
Ship very well maintained. Staterooms small (like everywhere) but well planned. Meals remain a 'cut above' other 5-Star lines. Staff very good and the true difference on Holland America.
Inside passage on Alaska was a great experience. Glacier Bay was probably the highlight, though we also had an excellent whale watch trip and enjoyed Ketchikan, Sitka and Victoria.

Ship tip
Eat in the 'formal' dining room each evening. It only takes a few minutes to dress up - but it makes the cruise a very special event.
