Review summary

The lack of entertainment and no activities on the ship was very disappointing. The Cruise Director was invisible most of the time. Went with a party of 6 and everyone had same opinion. The casino is small, the bars close early, and there is nothing to do. If you want to lay in a chair on deck, book it. You will fight for an indoor chair or table with a view. If you want to see wildlife and be entertained, I highly recommend seeking another ship. This one disappoints!

Bring your own entertainment. Stay on the boat in Sitka. Saw very little wildlife.

Wow. We went in March. Everything was up to HAL’s standards. Wonder if it was a different staff.

I have to agree with you on everything ! We were on the ship a couple weeks ago and decided to not take Holland America again for all the reasons you listed ! Too bad it was a nice ship
