Cruise Suzy

Westerdam at southern end of Douglas Island

@waASPCrusier Thanks for your answers.

Hubbard Glacier: How close was the ship able to get? I've booked the excursion boat there, but others are still debating. Sitka: With the inside pier position damaged, was the Westerdam able to use the outside position rather than tendering? Pinnacle Grill: Was it open for lunch on Monday (Sea day), Tuesday (Juneau), Wednesday (Hubbard) and/or Saturday (Victoria)? Staffing on some ships reportedly has been insufficient to open it for lunch.

Of course we'd welcome a review with pictures - especially since we're on Westerdam's 7/17 cruise. You were on just the 2nd cruise for this 2022 Westerdam itinerary, so there's not been much feedback.

It's on the HAL Website/Navigator app - part of the check-in process. Not available until 3 days prior to cruise.

Wine must be in carry-on bags. If you can board before hiking, you could put it in your room's ice bucket and then debark for hiking. If you can't board before hiking, you will have to take it with you.

Heading to Alaska from Seattle

Enjoy!

Price does not change once onboard. The only reason I wait is that I use my Shareholder Benefit OBC to purchase it.

I am 35 points away from being 4 star. I am going on an 11 day cruise in a suite so that would be 22 points. ... is there any way to guess if there are enough paid for items to get the other 13 points I need to rise to 4 star? Sorry to say that there is no way to attain 4-star on this cruise. The most days you can be credited for purchases is the number of days in the cruise. So 11 days fior the cruise, 11 days for the suite, 11 days for purchases.

$20, unless you are in Europe. Then it's $30.

Blocker on camera

No camera person - Noordam almost out of sight but will turn shortly.

On the Homepage, scroll to the bottom and choose "Shore Excursions". Then you can select a destination and port(s). Not all tours will necessarily be offered on every itinerary, but it will give you an idea.

Yea!

Wish the camera would follow her.

Seattle Express cannot pick up passengers at the airport. When going to the pier, it can only pick up passenger from nearby hotels. From the pier, it can drop passengers at the airport or at nearby hotels.

Coming around the Bliss now

Raindrop moved and can see Westy better now

Where did you see this?

Looks like the K'dam is coming into view
