Review summary

Overall, our Holland America cruise was very good. We had very good service wherever we went on the ship, and the crew were always helpful and informative. The formal nights were not as "formal" as we thought they would be. They were more "relaxed" formal, which was more comfortable for us. We would definitely cruise with Holland America again.

The Raptor Center was a highlight of Sitka. We also strolled through the National Park. Very pretty.

We went on the canoe to Mendenhall Glacier. It was well worth the price and time. A meal at the Red Dog Saloon is a must. Also, the Alaskan Fudge Company has great fudge. The little Russian church is way up a hill and a waste of time to see.

Beautiful city, but we visited in the evening and would have loved to have spent more time there.
