Sail Date: Jul 2014

In 1984, my wife and I were in Anchorage. 1984 was Alaska's 25th year of Statehood and we were blessed to be there at that time. We promised we would be back but, we did not believe it would be thirty years later. We booked our first cruise through a cruise dedicated agent. We were at his mercy as far as cabin choice etc.. We were very lucky to have chosen the Holland America Westerdam. It is a wonderful ship with an excellent crew. Following is a synopsis of our wonderful voyage.

We flew into Sea/Tac and took a yellow cab to Pier # 91 with a stop on the way at Fred Myers Grocery for some Diet Coke since, carrying on soda is permissable.

Embarkation: We arrived around Noon. We had checked-in online which made for a very easy boarding. We headed to the Lido and had lunch. When we arrived back to our room, our luggage was already delivered. We met our cabin stewards and they emptied the mini bar fridge making room for our Diet Coke.

Cabin Review

Would not reserve a mid-ship room on the Verandah Deck (5) because of the lifeboats at our feet.
