Oosterdam Review

Additional details
ALASKAN EXPERIENCE: I have a fair amount of ocean water under my keel on a variety of ships and to assorted destinations. For years I was totally indifferent about cruising Alaska. I just completed a 7 day Inside Passage RT Seattle on HAL's Oosterdam and can honestly say that I've joined the legions of Alaska cruise boosters. I'll not belabor the point about the grand scale and beauty of AK and its wildlfe. Suffice to say nohing in my previous travels ( including Norway)gave me the same sense of awe. I plan to revisit soon....perhaps a Cruise, Cruise Tour, Rail or some combination.
The Alaska experience should not be missed by any thinking traveler.
SUMMARY: A great trip that I waited too long to take. Holland America delivered a perfectly orchestrated cruise....but I came home with unfulfilled expectations. More about that below.
Cabin Review
Neptune Deluxe Verandah Suite
Cabin 6164 Neptune Suite. Aft facing...little wind, perfect view and totally private. 700 sq ft....huge.More than enough closets and storeage. Stylish and very comfortable for 3 adults. The extra perks, prioraty, free dry cleaning and laundry, private lounge, etc. make it special. Highly recommended.Perfect for a long voyage.Dreaming of a TransPacific in 6164.
