FAQ:
Is Holland America a good cruise line for Alaska?
Yes, we did the inside passage and loved it. It's cheaper to go northbound or southbound from Seward (Anchorage) to Vancouver/Seattle but we're glad we did the roundtrip route. We really liked that Holland America ships get to dock in each port, and we never had to tender into port or dock far outside the city and get bussed in. It was always only a 10-15 min walk back to the ship in case we needed to take a break/rest/etc.
When did you get your boarding time?
We received it on our boarding pass and via email about a week before departure. Our boarding time changed 3 times before finalizing a day before the cruise.
Since you booked a guaranteed room, when did you get your room assignment?
We were never notified via email, but it showed up on our luggage tags and boarding pass when we downloaded and printed them out the day before the cruise. Our ship was 100% full, but I've been told some people get upgraded the day of embarkation.
Why get a guaranteed room?
It was cheaper and we didn't mind where we our ocean view room was. Our room was more aft than mid-ship, but neither of us got seasick.
How can I make the embarkation process go faster?
For arriving in Canada, download app: www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html
Download and fill out VeriFly for embarking: www.myverifly.com/#/
Download Holland America's app for easy communication on the ship without paying for Wifi. The app connects to ship Wifi and does not charge you extra to send messages only via the app.
Can I embark/board early?
No, please do not arrive early. We were told the boarding times are assigned to ensure the process is smooth for everyone and there is no crowding.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, we visit two countries (U.S.A. and Canada) on this cruise itinerary.

    I was on the ms Koningsdam September 2023 and we only stopped by Johns Hopkins Glacier. For some reason, the ship did not continue to Marjorie Glacier and that was disappointing. Many years ago, the ms Westerdam brought us to both.

    How did you get such a great price on the Pan Pacific hotel. I am going on the same ship and cruise at the end of july and the best price is $950 Cdn including breakfast and bag handling to the ship. I would love to vet your price.....any hints

    Hi..I liked your video! We will be in cabin 1054 for 35 days soon. It is 3 doors down from your cabin. What was the noise like at night in the cabin? Any issues? In 2018, we were in cabin 1021for 21 days and had no issues. We are soooo looking forward to the Koningsdam again!

    • @TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler
      @TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler Před 5 měsíci

      That sounds like a wonderful time! We didn't hear much noise from our cabin. I think once during the Orange Party we heard some light music but we slept early. We usually went to bed around 9-10pm. Otherwise, no issues. I hope you have a great trip!

    Will be in Skagway first part of June and opting to buy tickets once we arrive. Are the trains full or can you find cars that are not crowded?

    • @TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler
      @TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler Před 7 měsíci

      As of when we visited in July, they reserve the front car of the train for on-site ticket purchases. So there should always be tickets available, as long as you're flexible with the times you want to ride.

      @@TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler We did it in 2012.....and if I remember.....sitting on the left hand side going up , gives you a better view! They don't turn the train around at the top, they move the engine from one end to the other, so you will have that better view on the way down also. Would you confirm, if this is how it worked on your ride???

    • @TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler
      @TheOnlySoloLadyTraveler Před 4 měsíci

      On our route in July 2023 they had a track that led the train all the way around and we had a different view despite sitting in the same seat. But this may vary based on season/tracks/trains. Thanks for sharing your info-- that's so good to know! @@vstar1100classic

Especially when you account that the people on those cruise ships traveled across the ocean to see the beauty. Y’all love to be upset about nothing. Cry bout it
