Overall I would say that the cruise was a successful time for our first time. However I have discovered that cruises will not be for me. I enjoyed the time on land most of all. Having traveled with sisters and friends that was an awesome part as well. Getting covid to finish off the trip was not my favorite thing! Thanks Koningsdam for an experience!

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
For our dining experience once more Poalo and John that table number 270 were excellent servers and we're so friendly. They provided us with everything we wanted and never rushed us.
At the Grand Dutch cafe the service there was great!
As for room service ho ho and Fifi were excellent stewards. They met our needs with everything we ever wanted, they were kind and left us wonderful towel animals!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The design of the ship is very intriguing. We did have difficulty as we were in wheelchairs and walkers so access to the elevators and areas we needed to go to was a little bit of work.
As for the cleanliness it appeared to be just great our room was super! However I did arrive home after a short bout of seeming to have a cold to realize that I in fact I had covid.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Well, with three women a wheelchair and a tall Walker in this room it was very trying. We had to maneuver equipment around as there was not enough space to drive the wheelchair or the Walker. This could have been an oversight in our booking not sure. However being who we are we managed to make the best of it. The veranda was wonderful! We had time to view God's creation and sit and enjoy the sunshine He provided.
Ship tip
Be sure to know your needs and express them clearly to whomever you are booking with!
This was my favorite port. Ketchikan is a very interesting city to observe. Our lumberjack show was outstanding. So much fun lots of laughter! Had a great time!
What can I say... Brilliant! Five women all our equipment and all are luggage was easy to depart find all our luggage and get on our way. The only problem was our taxi driver who did not know how to pack all of that stuff .
Appreciate your detailed review. Glad you enjoyed your Alaskan cruise, even though you’ve decided that cruising isn’t your favorite way to vacation. Now you know. Happy you gave it a try!
