I'm hoping to go on another Alaska cruise WITH my fiance this time, and
we're probably going with Holland America instead of Princess. I've
read their beds are comfortable and there are tubs in the bathroom
instead of tiny showers. Any opinions of that ship?

Thanks,
Marcia

Marcia, the Verandah cabins do have tubs, some have whirlpools; other
outside staterooms have tubs as well, but insides only have showers. Why do
you prefer HAL over Princess? Have you looked at Celebrity for your next
Alaska cruise?

I have not been on the Oosterdam but I have been on a sister ship, the
Westerdam. They are the large HAL Vista class ships. The beds on
Holland America are very comfortable. Not all cabins have tubs. The
tubs are small tubs. I would not choose HAL because of the bathrooms.
HAL does have good Alaska itineraries and usually good prices. Also the
food and service on HAL are better than Princess. The activities are
not as good.

Very nice ship easy to get around ... If you can - get one of the
stern balconies ... they are huge and I found it very pleasant sailing
away watching the wake ...

I would never cruise without a balcony again. ;-) That was the best
part of the last cruise. We happened to be at the travel agent
yesterday finding out some information, so we asked some questions about
Alaska since I do want to go back. I had some issues with the Sapphire
Princess anyway, so we just asked her opinion on other cruise lines. We
do want to leave from Seattle, so we could drive up there. She
mentioned Celebrity, but I think she said the ships are smaller. I'm
not locked into anything yet, which is why I am again asking
questions...and if you remember my last cruise, you know I have lots of
them!!! ;-)

Thanks,
Marcia
