Alaska 2024

July

Pros: great crew and restaurants

Cons: There were a lot of barely ambulatory passengers

Recommended: Yes

A little disappointed because several stops had to be canceled due to weather but that wasn't the ship's fault. Captain was cautious which we expect. Don't visit entertainment or Activities below but required to put something.

Hong Kong Cruise

January

Pros: Well maintained and crewed ship

Cons: Too many days at sea

Recommended: No

The Westerdam is a fine ship well-maintained and Nicely kept. Its crew is friendly, happy and capable. We were made to feel very welcome. However, details for shore Excursions were quite lacking and sometimes in accurate. They are also quite expensive and local guides were unwilling or unable to explain, or narrate the local Surroundings. Holland America Needs to create a higher level of expectations from the local guides. Holland America needs to invest in Vox boxes so that guides can better communicate with passengers. In addition, the itinerary Did not describe the actual number of days at sea. The distance covered between Hong Kong, and Singapore requires more days at sea than we realized.
