Buffet was hit or miss. Dining room was great. For the best entree choice, as your waiter what they recommend!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was always kept clean and our room attendants were wonderful. Location was great as well.

Ship tip

This is not a party ship or one that caters to a young crowd. However, we loved the relaxing atmosphere. Holland has been sailing to Alaska longer than any other line and they know Alaska.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

Park rangers are onboard most of the day to answer questions. Stunningly beautiful. We were blessed with sunny weather.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Cutest town we stopped at. Took a zodiac boat tour which was amazing. Saw a whale breach in front of us.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did the early disembark and carried our own luggage. Easy peasy. The cruise offers bus transportation to the airport but it fills up fast. We took a taxi. They are right there at the terminal when you disembark.
