All in all this cruise was fantastic! This was a 20 anniversary trip with our son and we had been planning for about six months prior.

We stayed at the beautiful Fairmont Olympic for two nights prior to our cruise and loved it. Even better is that we were able to get onto the Holland America bus right from the hotel and didn't have to worry about transportation. The hotel is beautiful and our son loved the indoor pool. The staff was fantastic! We would definitely stay there again.

Embarkation was a breeze. We were at the pier and on the ship within 30 minutes, I would say. Stateroom was ready so we dropped our things off and went to explore and eat. ;) I thought the ship was beautiful and has been well tended. I didn't see anything other than what I would consider normal wear and tear from thousands of people on a weekly basis. The walls of our cabin were a little marked up and there were two strange stains on the walls but that didn't detract from our overall happiness with the cabin. We were in 6060 and had plenty of space for two adults and one 8 year old.

Cabin Review

Cabin was wonderful and spacious. We chose that location to be somewhat close to elevators and stairs but not so close as to get the noise from either. We thought it was a very quiet location and the view from the verandah was great! Cabin was on the port side which I thought was great because in both Juneau and Ketchikan we were facing the cities and in Sitka we were facing the ocean. Great views! Upper Verandah deck was great for us too. Since we had our son with us and spent quite a bit of time in the Lido area it was just a short walk up the stairs. Explorations Cafe was also a short walk for coffee every morning. All in all a great cabin!
