The cruise to Alaska and back on the Volendam was everything H-P promised it would be, especially in terms of the visit to Glacier Bay - that was the highlight of the trip. The accomodations were fine, the food was uniformly good, the staff was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was, for the most part, peaceful and relaxing. The biggest down-side was H-A's corporate culture of trying to pry every last penny out of its passengers with fees and extra charges. We bought the one-device WiFi and the least expensive 4-bottle wine package, and still our bill when we completed the trip was $790 C
