Our family just returned home from our 7-day roundtrip (from Seattle) Alaska trip aboard the Westerdam that called on Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria, B.C.
BACKGROUND This is our second HAL cruise, first with the kids but all of us are veteran cruises. We typically cruise on Carnival and have also cruised NCL in Hawaii. On this voyage, my husband (49), our twins (6) and I (39) traveled with my sister and her family (one teenager) and the kids grandparents (60's). It was my sister's families 1st time cruising as well as my parents.
HOTEL We stayed at the Vintage Park Hotel Friday and Sat night prior to our hotel. It is a beautiful quaint hotel. The rooms are quite small but comfortable. The staff was excellent and helpful with recommendations for restaurants, touring, etc....
Great central location. Good elevator location to Lido and Kids Club. Can not see balcony from outside elevator.
