Interest Spa Verandah Alaska North Bound on Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam for July until I found out that did not actually include access to the Spa access. Done NCL Spa level which included daily pass to spa, Celebrity Aqua Class does same. But Holland wants to $400 more person ($800 couple) for yoga mat, fancy lotions (worked in the manufacturing industry know manufacturing costs), earth tones, linens but we would have to pay additional for spa pass. NCL spa level $250 more per person and built in spa daily pass which was fantastic. The spa is our zen area. Lucky I did the research on Cruise Critic and other sites where people say Spa Verandah not worth it and not include the spa pass. I called the reservation line and it took about 10 minutes for the person on other end to confirm my suspicions because they did not even know. Holland America for trying to imitate NCL/Celebrity without including spa pass but charging higher price.
