First cruise into the South Pacific was a bumpy one, but still fun

Review for a South Pacific Cruise on Westerdam

We choose this cruise for a few reasons. 1) we had always wanted to go to this area of the world 2) we love the "at sea" days as much as port days and 3) there were at sea days between every country visited, so on the off chance that someone would have gotten Covid, we would only have missed at most 1 country. As it was, we traveled with another couple,1 person got Covid, and missed 1 country. ...

An 'add-on' to the 14 Day Alaska itinerary

We booked the 6 Day Wine Country & Pacific Northwest Cruise on Noordam (Neptune Suite 7081) immediately following the 14-Day Great Alaskan Explorer which we took in Noordam’s Neptune Suite 7088. One plus of this cruise, it allowed us (as US citizens) to avoid flying on an "international flight" - flying out of San Diego rather than Vancouver. Originally, we had booked these two cruises in an ...

Our first post-pandemic cruise!

In order to use some future cruise credits (before they expire) we booked the 14-Day Great Alaskan Explorer, Noordam Neptune Suite 7088. This was our first “post-pandemic” cruise……so, there I will be making some comparisons - especially because (in September 2019) we took a HAL “Triple Denali” land/sea trip, which ended with a 7 Day (southbound) cruise in the same suite (7088) on ...

Great Itinerary, Good Cruise

This cruise was our third cruise since the restart. Overall we had a good cruise but I think all the cruise lines have some work to do to earn back the loyalty of their customers. This Alaska cruise is one of my favorite Alaska itineraries. Because it begins and ends in Vancouver BC there is no need for a stop in Victoria. Although I like Victoria, some of the cruise ship stops are at bad times ...

Gorgeous Glacier Bay

The morning cruising glacier bay was the scenic highlight of this cruise, which we selected because it was a different route from the inside passage cruise we'd been on. At the last minute, we upgraded to a Neptune suite, which made the cruise a more comfortable and enjoyable week - spacious room, giant balcony, lots of comfortable furniture inside and out, king bed. We appreciated the neptune ...

Although we have travelled internationally often, we had only previously taken one cruise on Princess to the Caribbean years ago. Covid travelling restrictions left us eager to try something different. As Canadians, we figured that taking a cruise from Vancouver, B.C. would be easiest for us, so we flew from Toronto area to Vancouver the day before our July 6th, 2022 departure for 7 day inside ...

We have sailed on HAL many times. This time it was a seven day Vancouver to Whittier (Anchorage). Last August we sailed on the same ship out and back from Seattle. Trips from Canada add to the complexity of the paperwork, but we managed. Covid testing at a CVS back home (Las Vegas) was free and results were sent in less than twenty-four hours. This vessel was 70% occupied, masks required ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This ship was part of the package we booked. Overall it was great, food and drink service was pretty good. The excursions left a little to be desired - one of our three was amazing (the most expensive), the other two were a major disappointment and not worth the money at all. The dog-sledding and helicopter trip was fantastic, yes it was expensive but, to me, well worth the money. The other ...

With all the flight cancellations happening this Spring it was nice to drive to Vancouver BC and avoid flying. We uploaded our USA passports and Covid vaccination documents on the Arrive Canada online site as required although no Canadian official ever asked to look at our documentation. There was an awful delay when we were boarding because the Holland America employee insisted that we have our ...

We have enjoyed previous holidays with HAL and were anxious to get back cruising after two years stuck at home. As we prefer not to fly, a trip out of Vancouver was very convenient. The price was reasonable for a balcony cabin and we opted for the Have It All package. The pre-cruise requirements were a bit of a hassle (Covid testing, ArriveCan and VeriFly documentation) and a lot of people seemed ...
