Would do it again in a heartbeat! I had heard that Holland America was one of the best ... and I believe it.

Cabin / Stateroom

Everything was well designed and met our needs, while not being "excessive" on space. We really appreciated the light-blocking curtains for the long Alaskan days.
Ship tip
Take a telephoto lens for your smart phone or camera. Be prepared to walk a lot. It is a BIG ship and getting from place to place means walking (except when you can move from deck to deck via the elevators).
Interesting area. Took Tram up mountain. A bit pricey, but great views once the fog cleared up some. Also, some family-friendly, short hikes on the mountain.
Getting there and being there was a wonderful experience. The ship spent plenty of time at the glacier, with both sides of the ship given lots of time to take pictures. Information provided about the area was helpful and informative.
