Review summary

The Noordam and the crew were wonderful. I only have very good things to say about the trip. I would love to visit Alaska again and Holland America would be my first choice.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkment was run very efficiently and was smooth. I was impressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good and the servers were even better.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I only attended a cooking demonstration and it was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I can't say enough about the staff. They work so hard. Especially the room stewards/attendants.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was great but probably was in need of a little updating. It did not stop us from having a wonderful time.

Ship tip

If you are going to Alaska, get a balcony or oceanview room. The scenery is unbelieveable.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

5 out of 5
Great city

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
I loved the tour we received from Ketchican Cab Tours. Dave was the best tour guide

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the Mendenhall Glacier. The St Roberts Tram is very overpriced.

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the national park service tours of the town and the train.

Only got on a bus in Seward for Denali.

Alaska is a prime destination for many cruisers. Myself included.
