    I was on the Konigsdam in early May on an Alaska voyage. The boarding queue took the better part of 3.5 hours, and everybody was cranky by the time we all boarded. Loved the lido pool deck. And the food on that voyage was probably the best I've ever had. I was particularly impressed with the food in the MDR. Breakfast was amazing, and dinner service never disappointed. The buffet was absolutely MOBBED for every single meal, so I didn't spend much time there. The cake program in the Lido buffet was complete chaos. Sel de Mer was absolutely wonderful, and there were very few people who took advantage of it. The Grand Dutch Cafe didn't impress me as much as I was hoping it would. Personally, I'm more partial to Princess' International Cafe. The spa was wonderful, except when it got crowded. Then it was just like being on the pool deck! Enjoyed the huge whirlpool tub in the spa during a couple of days when the sea was rough. Shoulda brought my surfboard.
    The shows were very very good... I think overall, my experience with HAL was good, but for Alaska my personal preference leans toward Norwegian's Encore ship. The MDR food is nowhere near as good as HAL, but their buffet is great, and the overall programming of the ship seems to lend itself to spreading people out. I felt the Konigsdam made people bunch up in clusters too much, it was overwhelming. Great video you guys!!! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time.

    We did this cruise last year and the weather/seas were rough. It was the second last cruise of the season and many people were seasick. Alaska is beautiful. I think my favorite was Glacier Bay. The food was spectacular. (I gained 10 lbs.) The entertainment was awesome. I particularly enjoyed the dance shows. I can't wait for my next cruise.

    Love HAL. Paid $349pp to upgrade to a suite for a 12 day medditeranian cruise. The low cost made it all that much more glorious!
    I usually do the obstructed view balcony. The price is right and the lifeboat doesn't really block much of scenery.
    Can't wait for more of Alaska and your fresh air fueled enthusiasm!

      Have thought about aft Neptune suite. Booked Panama Canal for February while onboard our last cruise. They were already booked. Was it noisy or did your balcony get wet from wash down? I’ve heard these two items happen on aft staterooms. We love HAL and got hooked on the Neptune suites and won’t downgrade suites.

    The wife and I took a cruise to Alaska in August from Vancouver.
    We actually live downtown there, just a quick taxi ride from Canada Place.
    It was so easy to get there, and yes there was a long line up, so go early.
    Otherwise it was easy peasy.
    Coming back we were off the boat and home in about 20 minutes.
    They didn't even check our arrive Can, just passport.
    Straight through and took a waiting taxi, so stress free!
