Lots of good things but some improvements needed
"Some of the entertainment was good but there just wasn't enough of it or enough variety in the evening on the main stage (music variety was much better).The music offerings on the ship were pretty good...."Read More

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Westerdam

We did a cruise with two other couples on the Westerdam round trip out of Seattle to Alaska.
Some of the pluses:
The ship was in very good shape for its age and didn't generally feel overcrowded.
The indoor pool and hot tubs were nice since the weather outside usually wasn't nice.
The promenade deck went all the way around the outside of the ship which was great for exercising with ...

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. ...

Nineteen years ago, we honeymooned on the 'old' Westerdam, so we chose this ship, the 'new' Westerdam, for our anniversary celebration.
Embark was pretty quick and easy, and along with the HAL transfer (from airport to cruise terminal) we were given an unexpected 'tour' by our driver, which was a nice surprise.
We had a window cabin towards the back, which was cozy, with plenty of storage. ...

Embarkation and Disembarkation process was very smooth. We arrived at Seattle pier 91 at around 12pm and able to get into our room within 45 mins. Luggage arrived within an hour. Our group were scheduled to leave our room at 9:30am and by 9:50am, we were already got all the way out to get into our ride. Very efficient.
Spa: We purchased the unlimited thermal suite and hydro pool pass and ...

We wanted a low-key, mid-sized cruise experience. Overall, it was very relaxing, and the mostly Indonesian crew made it a very pleasant experience. The Lido Market casual dining food was sometimes subpar, the entertainment choices we liked were usually very late in the evening for us, and the menu in the Pinnacle Grill was just okay. Reservation confirmation was spotty: we were advised that we'd ...

This Ship takes the Glacier Bay Park Tour. With it being first tour to Alaska, wanted to see the national park. Overall, the Cruise was very good. Embarkation and disembarking were smoothly run and most staff eager to make this happen. The food portions in the main dining room were small but you could get multiple items and we could tell the staff put efforts into presentation of the food ...

I was in charge of researching the cruise for everyone. The fact that Holland America's website was difficult to use and uninformative on specifics made it very tough. Here is some of the info I needed:
The adults had adjoining balcony cabins at the very end of the ship. Loved the views (take binoculars). There are panels separating the balconies. The steward can lock open the end panel so ...

we choose this cruise based largely on date. we were a family of 8 ranging in age from 14 to 71. all enjoyed the cruise with a few complaints. the port schedule was off. not enough time in ketchican and not much to see in sitca . Holland America is geared for adults but a lot of kids on summer Alaskan cruise. not many activities for kids and teens. dinner was great and everyone liked buffet for ...

I chose this cruise because it was an In Touch Ministries cruise. The entertainment and speakers were wonderful. Dr. Charles Stanley and Andy Stanley were very inspiring, and all of the singing groups were not only exceptional, but they were also very engaging when approached on the ship.
The ship needs some repair. The fabric on the couch in our stateroom was worn, and the couch was not ...

We chose HAL because we love this cruise line and this was our first time on Ms Westerdam to Alaska and we were not disappointed. The Westerdam had some slight wear but we experienced no major issues on our cruise. We did encounter some noticeable vibration in the MDR and some slight swaying in our room (that we did not experience on the larger Oosterdam ship) but contributed it to a smaller ...
