Sail Date: Sep 2018
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

This was our first cruise and we loved it! From the perfect flight into Vancouver with great views and a beautiful airport to an easy flight home with more great views from the air including northern lights, it was all amazing!

We got into Vancouver a day early and absolutely loved the Pan Pacific Hotel which is literally part of the cruise terminal! This allowed us an opportunity to see one HAL ship sail away and for us to watch the Westerdam sail in! This was so special! We went to mass on Saturdaybat the Cathedral that is an easy walk and had a great dinner with a view at the Steamworks brewing company.

Our HAL hotel package included a yummy buffet with a view of our ship and luggage pickup at our room so we just needed to go downstairs, check in and we are on the ship enjoying the buffet by 11:30. Rooms were ready soon after and we unpacked, took a ship tour, and we were ready for the sail away party.

We were close to aft with a balcony which was perfect for viewing sailing in/out of ports. You are so close to the land that there is always a gray view.

This position was great for getting to the lido buffet and this ship isn’t that big so everything seemed an easy walk.

Loved our cabin and felt pampered.
