This was the “Great Bear Rainforest” cruise on the Holland America Noordam. This is only the third cruise we’ve done on HAL, and we enjoyed this one just as much as the other two. These smaller ships are great. Nice, wide promenade deck, which is a big thing with us. The food on this ship…
Princess cruisetour to Alaska to see bears fishing in the river, glaciers and orcas.
We sailed on the Discovery Princess to see the April 8, 2024 total eclipse. I booked us on that the day the bookings opened for Elites, nearly three years out. I was really looking forward to it for the whole nearly three years! The only photos I have of the eclipse are other people’s photos,…
In September 2023, we did something different. Yeah, we went to Alaska again, which is not different. But this time we sailed on Holland America’s Westerdam. We like the Westerdam a lot! It’s an older, smaller ship, and it has the old-style full wrap around promenade deck that we love so much. We had some…
This sailing was on the Sky Princess, a very beautiful ship. We had our favorite cabin, “the big, fat mini-suite on Marina deck. On the Ship Some of the food on the ship was as good as any we’ve ever had on a ship. Some of it was pretty good. And some of it was…
Cruise on the Discovery Princess In our experience, all cruises are good cruises. This was a very good cruise. Since the Discovery Princess is a Royal Class ship, our very favorite cabin is available. I call this cabin “the big, fat mini-suite.” There are only four of these on the ships that have them, and…
This cruise was the replacement for the one that was canceled in April of 2020. It’s one we’ve done before, and I like it a lot. It sails roundtrip from San Francisco and visits Astoria, OR; Seattle, WA, Vancouver, BC; and Victoria, BC. Astoria, Oregon Let’s talk about Astoria. This is a small town that…
This was an unheard of short cruise for us. We’ve never done a really long one, but with one exception we’ve never done one less than a week. It was round trip San Francisco, so easy one for us to do. It went down the coast, stopping at San Diego and Ensenada. I booked this…
I think of this trip on the Royal Princess as “the cruise where we had the big, fat cabin.” We’ve always booked lower-end cabins (because we’re not rich and I’m cheap), but this time we had a mini suite. The king of all mini suites. There’re four of these on Royal Class ships, all forward…
