Additional details
Holland America Westerdam, Glacier Bay Explorer (Seattle Roundtrip), July 13-20, 2008
Pre-Cruise: Booked Outside (H) Guarantee through private TA. After full payment (90 days pre-sailing), HAL offered substantial discounts. Although too late to take advantage of discounts, TA kept this in mind and contacted HAL about upgrade two weeks before sailing. TA obtained upgrade to Veranda guarantee (cabin 5049) for $99 pp. TA also arranged shift from AYWD to Early (5:45 p.m.) Seating.
Cruise was booked in conjunction with Dear In Laws, who booked Superior Verandah Suite Guarantee (cabin 6102). Both cabins were quiet and ample for their class, with the SVS being especially comfortable.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom
Comfortable, especially liked bathtub. Fabric on sofa and plastic "wicker" on verandah furniture were a little frayed.
