Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Trip of a Lifetime! by A Traveler from Centralia, WA Sailing date: Jul 2007 Pros: Wonderful, helpful staff. We had the time of our lives. The ship was beautiful, the staff wonderful, the food very good, and Alaska is truly God's country. We are ready to do it again! Ship Details: Dining/Food The food was excellent and it was so much fun having the same table and wait staff every night! Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Everyone took such good care of us! We were totally pampered. Entertainment & Activities Activities: There was always something to do! You could do as much or as little as you wanted every day. Entertainment: Great shows every night. Read this user's port of call reviews: Cruise Glacier Bay; Juneau, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; Sitka, Alaska Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Cruise Glacier Bay God's country. Glacier Bay is truly God's country. The glaciers and sounds of this beautiful national park are hard to describe. We heard a woman say at the end of our day in Glacier Bay, "If the cruise were to end right now, it would have been the perfect place to end it!" Juneau, Alaska Ketchikan, Alaska Beautiful city! We loved Ketchican! Just wish we could have had more time there. Don't Miss: Great Alaskan Lumberjack at show. Sitka, Alaska 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony A relaxing vacation by A Traveler from Chapel Hill, NC Sailing date: Aug 2010 Pros: dining in the two speciaty restaurants onboard (Pinnacle Grill and Canaletto's) Cons: too few onboard activities The Noordam is a beautiful ship. Its venues are underused, however. They could/should have activities going in all these fabulous rooms every day--not just the lone "at sea" day. A no-smoking policy would be appreciated (their "suggested" smoking areas were only loosely adhered to--as was the "adults only" policy at the aft pool.) Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food It's hard to do a quality job with such large numbers. The specialty restaurants--the Pinnacle Grill and Canaletto's--were excellent. The regular dining room was a step down from service in years past. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Overall, excellent. Entertainment & Activities This seems to be where this ship spared expenses. In the past, I have even skipped shore excursions to stay onboard for particular classes and activities. I would have been playing Solitaire on this cruise, had I done so. I will definitely explore on-board activities/lectures/classes before booking my next cruise. Read this user's port of call reviews: Barcelona, Spain; Cannes, France; La Goulette (Tunis & Carthage), Tunisia; Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands; Trapani, Sicily Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Barcelona, Spain We particularly enjoyed exploring the Gothic quarter. Cannes, France A beautiful port with good shopping. La Goulette (Tunis & Carthage), Tunisia My favorite stop--largely because of a terrific tour guide who really brought the history and culture of ancient Carthage to life. Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands Beautiful, but we arrived on a major religious holiday when everything was closed. We had a very pleasant walk, though, and did some sight-seeing. It's a long walk into town--a shuttle would have been appreciated here. Trapani, Sicily Very accessible--a short walk into town with abundant good shopping. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
