Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very clean, but a bit outdated.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was fine, but I won't book through United again. I want to be able to choose my cabin.

Ship tip

Do NOT let Holland America check your bags for you. They lost both of ours.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
Seattle is a beautiful city. It's easy to get around.

Cruise Puget Sound

3 out of 5
Kind of boring.

CRUISE STEPHENS PASSAGE

2 out of 5
Very boring.

Juneau, Alaska

2 out of 5
I liked Juneau, but we did not get enough time here. Do NOT go to Orca Point Lodge. Just go whale watching. The food and service were a disaster. It was a complete waste of time.

Cruise Glacier Bay

1 out of 5
Glacier Bay was gorgeous, but we spent WAY too much time here. Could not leave the ship so it got tedious.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

2 out of 5
The worst. It's got very little to do, and it's not a real town. Hated this port

Sitka, Alaska

1 out of 5
The best day of the cruise by far. We got plenty of time in port.

Ketchikan, Alaska

1 out of 5
Way too little time here. We got up at the crack of dawn to do our one excursion then had to rush back to the ship for a 1 p.m. departure. I would have liked a few hours to walk around the town.

Victoria, British Columbia

1 out of 5
We arrived after dark and had only a short time here. It seems like it would be a beautiful town to visit during the day when you could see things.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Holland America offered to tag our bags and deliver them to our airline in Seattle. We left the ship at 8 a.m. Our flight left at 1:40 p.m. Bags were not on our flightnd deliver them to our airline in Seattle

It's all about your own lives or dislikes, been on Eurodam with same itinerary to Alaska on 2 cruises and enjoyed both, we all would love more time in ports, but it is what it is. The itinerary states that well before you confirm the booking.

I did one Alaskan cruise and although I really enjoyed it I feel like it’s a one and done cruise. I like the warm tropical weather.

Lots of cruises better than Alaska from what I hear and have experienced!

Wow, if you don’t enjoy time on the ship in Alaska , then maybe cruising is not for you.
