13-Night Alaska Cruise

Holland staff make this an amazing line to travel. Also the bonus of the travel company specials make it more memorable.

The cruise was very good. Unfortunately, we have notices that the cruise line continues to reduce services and increase prices. It gets noticed and one wonders how much more they will do before they start to see a reduction in cruises who enjoyed a certain class of services and amenities.

The food was disappointing. Many times the only food option 4 lunch was the buffet. I found the food in the buffet repetitive and not fresh. It was very challenging finding meal options that were served hot. In addition, you did not always get what you ordered.

Enjoyable

Holland America Line “Noordam” was beautiful ship with great amenities and wonderful food. Since this was 48 day cruise we upgraded from Veranda to Signature Suite and were thankful for the extra space, two desks, sofa, two sinks with jet tub and separate small shower plus larger veranda. Evening shows were not as full as pre-COVID with one entertainer and pre-recorded music/background. Wi-fi was spotty but is being updated in Jan 24. Captain Peter Barnes and staff were very cheerful and outgoing!! Lots of different ports was appealing but excursions were sold out one year in advance so be pre
