Summary.

It's been a week since the cruise and oh my it is so hard to get back into the swing of normal life - this vacation was so relaxing. The weather was not great for two thirds of the days but that was not a problem. It's over a hundred degrees back home so 60 degrees and showers was not all that bad. There were several sunny clear days which more than made up for the weather woes. The Statendam is well maintained, though certainly not new, and the crew exceptionally accommodating. The cuisine as good as any ship we've experienced. H class cabin 700 is way up front and has a large loft area between the bed and portholes. The "1ST" tour is bare bones bus hotel & ship ... will take the 11 day Denali Train package next time.

Getting there.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean-View Stateroom with Porthole

Cabin G

Spacious with queen bed, sofa, tub shower, flat screen TV. Novel loft area between bed and Porthole could sleep two kids! The loft is as large as a Verandah about three feet high. You can't see through the portholes very well but it is better than no windows at all and this cabin class isn't much more than inside cabin. Although very front of ship there was no sea motion. A couple of times ship noise happened: in port the thrusters came on and when winching the ship lines you hear the motors. A couple of times the ocean waves slapped at the hull and you can hear that very well in this cabin. Not far from the forward elevators where the service was fast.
