Review summary

This was my first cruise. We did have the penthouse. Our treatment was excellent. We only had one ruff night where the water was very ruff. If I had to complain about something it would be having to pay for sodas . Anyone cruising for the first time make sure you check out all added expenses. Elevators were too slow.

Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5

We did the zip line here, had a great time but it was a little more strenuious then we thought it would be.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5

I enjoyed Juneau. We had a river float planned there but it was cancelled due to ice in the river. We did enjoy shopping in the city.

Pros: The crew treated us very well, and the service was great.

Cons: If you do not drink coffee, tea or water you have to pay for sodas.

Recommends Oosterdam? Yes!
