HAL Amsterdam 5-16-08 or NCL Pearl 5-4-08?

[mp006]

My husband and I (age 50+) have decided to go on our second Alaskan cruise next May. We are torn between the 5-4-08 cruise from NCL, which is the same week we celebrate our two birthdays and wedding anniversary, or the HAL cruise which is later on the month. Both itinerary's include glacier bay and are round-trip from Seattle. The HAL cruise visits Sitka, while the NCL cruise visits Skagway. Please help us make the right choice.

We gave up NCL years ago when they started Freestyle cruising - just not for us.

 

We have sailed a couple of times on the Amsterdam - she is a beautiful ship. You can't go wrong if you book her!! We did a 22 day repositioning cruise and a 15 day hawaiian cruise on her.
