Alaska - Inside Passage Cruise Reviews

Holland is a very nice, classier, more understated cruiseline and we are here for it! Loved that they had wool blankets for you to use on the outside decks, served hot soup during the outdoor glacier viewing times, and had excellent service!

This is our 2nd trip on a cruiseship; both has been for a family vacation. The inside passage to Alaska is beautiful; this is my first trip through here.

I'd definitely take this cruise again, and I've already begun looking at more cruise options. The excursions were varied and offered a friendly, easy way to see places I would never have experienced previously. Once you learn your way around the ship, everything seems fairly easy and manageable. My shipmate's reservations did disappear after she boarded the ship, however, so ensure you check your app for everything selected pre-cruise. Staff was overall helpful setting up new reservations, so there was only one night when we couldn't all sit together at dinner. Weather for this cruise was perfection, other than being overcast so no Northern Lights. Temperatures on board and in port were very comfortable. Staff didn't make you feel like a burden and always had a smile.

Nice cruise on a somewhat tired ship. 4 of the ship hotubs were too small for anything more than 1 adult to fit comfortably. The jets on the hotubs were not properly aimed or serviced (shoots a lot of water in peoples faces so they cant really enjoy the jets when turned on).The crew was fantastic but the activities and entertainment seem geared towards a senior crowd. Nothing stays open past 1AM and left many younger passengers wandering the halls looking for a place to gather and share drinks and laughs. The Rolling Stone lounge was a missed opportunity to have the gathering place that would have made the cruise much for fun for the younger crowd. However, the cruise was saved by an AMAZING stateroom, great views and scenery of the cruise are, and amazing ports of call. Book if you're looking for a quiet and more reserved cruise and an early bedtime.

Lovely ship, good food with many dining options, great views of glaciers in Glacier Bay.

This cruise (Alaska specifically) was a bucket list trip for us and we had not cruised in years so it was almost like a brand new experience. Norwegian was fantastic, well organized and I will definitely sail with them again. The staff, the ship, the activities, the excursions, the overall experience could not have been better.

Overall, the staff on the cruise is amazing. I particularly like Valerie. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The food is Average, but I still enjoyed the experience. The games and the wildlife talks were perfect.

Loved every minute! We have found our preferred method of travel after cruising on the Eurodam. We are already planning to make the voyage again! If you have not been on a cruise or to Alaska, you need to add this trip to the top of your list.

This was our first cruise so I can't compare it to anything. We had a great time! Just wished we could've had more time at some of the ports. Four hours isn't enough time to visit anywhere by the time you get off the boat and if you go on an excursion.

Overall, the ship is old, not fancy and should be retired. The food was low class and never hot, either in the dining room or the Ledo deck. Ledo food was limited times, not all day option. Spend the extra money to get a bit pampered.

You need to recapture whatever magic you had pre-pandemic. I loved everything about HAL and went cruising just to enjoy the whole ship experience. It's not the same, you no longer cater to adults, and I'm sorry.

Amazing experience to see Alaska. Royal Carribean was outstanding. Booking with travel made it a easy process and they were always available to answer any questions

It was a very good experience, there were some things we didn't like for example the nightly shows, the dusty room, the rude salespeople, some of the food, dessert options, and the canada port seemed rushed. But I would do it again except I wouldn't ever port my luggage at seatac airport since seatac lost my bag. But as much as I don't like cruising since I get sick, I didn't get sick here. it was a smooth ride. I am open to trying royal caribbean again just never out of Seattle- flight were cancelled twice by jet blue (one weather related and one mechanical) and lost luggage reasons, but definitely any other port I'd gladly come back.

This cruise was a bucket-list thing for us and Alaska did not disappoint. I can't imagine any other cruise ship company providing a better experience than Royal Caribbean. We enjoyed this cruise very much.

I enjoyed cruising Alaska, but would choose a cruise line that docks IN port and stops in the ports longer.

A fabulous cruise which I will never forget and keep happily in my memories. I enjoyed the cruise so much with my daughter and grandson. I can’t say enough about how perfect it was from the moment we stepped onto the ship until we left. I have recommended this celebrity cruise to everyone!!

This was a nice small ship so getting on and off was easy. Maneuvering around the boat was easy as well since there was only 10 decks

Itinerary had all the typical Alaska cruise port stops. The ship itself is quite old and antiquated. Food is mediocre, including in the two additional dining options. Service is good. But I would recommend a newer ship with more amenities and food options if you want to have a great experience.

Overall, the cruise was amazing and would definitely sell with Holland America again. The Westerdam is not a super fancy ship, but in my opinion, that’s not the most important feature. The service the amenities were all perfect.

It was our first time cruising and all I can say is WOW!!! Didn't know what to expect but my expectations were met above and beyond!! Fantastic journey and looking forward to the next one!!!!!
