Glad we went. Was on our bucket list but I would not go to Alaska again. Beautiful scenery but didn't see much wildlife.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Transfer from airport to dock was slow but convenient. We arrived ~1 hr before sailing and had to take our hand luggage right to the main deck for safety drill. Not a good way to be introduced to Holland America.

No dedicated library or game room. EXC is a nice feature but often very crowded.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Comedian and magician were great but never had a dance or singing show. Lincoln Center Stage was consistently good. Billboard pianists were fun.

No kids!

Not as friendly as other ships we have been on.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Eurodam is nice and very clean. Need to be more insistent on hand sanitizer!

Bath larger than some, good closet space, smaller living space than others
Interesting. Most love Alaska, but I guess it’s not for everyone. We could go every year. Nature is unpredictable, but taking excursions to get closer to the wildlife, such as a whale watching tour, will greatly increase your chances of seeing wildlife. We saw lots of wildlife - bears, seals, eagles, deer, whales and more both on excursions and from the ship.
