Review summary

We were impressed with Holland America as it was our first time on them. We will probably sail with them in the future.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast compared to what I expected

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and drink were great. Only thing that surprised us was that Alaskan King Crab was not offered in a specialty restaurant...even for an upcharge. Maybe it is seasonal?

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Didn't really use them but they looked OK.

Cruise Puget Sound

4 out of 5
This was mostly at night

CRUISE STEPHENS PASSAGE

5 out of 5
Scenery was great

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Mendenhall Glacier, Salmon Hatchery and Salmon Bake at the end was excellent. Walked the town for awhile before the excursion.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Parking by John Hopkins Glacier for over an hour was spectacular. We heard ice cracking (caving) more than a dozen times and saw ice chunks fall 5 times.

Icy Strait Point (Hoonah), Alaska

4 out of 5
Walked around a bit, not a lot to see at this port.

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5
Did a whale watching excursion on a small boat (booked through American Airlines). It was a highlight of the trip. Saw over 3 dozen whales, some sea lions.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Did the Misty Fjords National Monument. It was very cool. The town seemed nice but almost no time to explore after the excursion.

Victoria, British Columbia

3 out of 5
Walked toward downtown but never got that far. Nothing was appealing to see at night.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple and straightforward, but the lines for the shuttles were very long.
