Because we have cruised with three different lines we will try to compare and contrast when appropriate and speak to the destination stand alone.
We took a 7 day round trip from Seattle visiting Juneau, Hubbard Glacier, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria, BC departing in early July.
The ship. Westerdam is a very clean and well maintained ship. Ship shape included evidence of seamanlike items as well as to interior quarters and general cleanliness. There is one theatre area for shows along with two smaller venues below for activities. The Crow's nest on deck 10 offers comfortable and relaxing viewing of the scenery, along with a weather deck above for the same. There are also sheltered areas on deck 10 with plenty of chairs and lounges, as well as plenty of thoughtfully provided blankets.
