I could not have said it better myself. I agree.

I have sailed several lines and always go back to HAL because I like the idea of a classic cruise ship. Service makes or breaks an experience for you and the service from the very start is second to none on HAL.

Thanks all!! I am beyond excited to be sailing yet again. It has been about 10 years since my last cruise. This will be my first cruise to Alaska and my husbands first cruise ever (!!!). It's also our "babymoon". So I thank you for the Bon Voyage. :)

Hope the good weather continues next week; I'm sailing out of Seattle Saturday... enjoy your cruise.

Myself as well!

We have not done any of the nightly shows as yet. We’re just enjoying the views from our room and relaxing.

 

We did go to the spa and did the fire and ice manicure for my daughter and myself. That was very nice. Warm stone massage on your arms and hands, followed by a very cooling gel placed on your arms and hands to relieve fatigue. Not much selection for colors, but overall a great experience. A lot of women were having blowouts for gala night when we went.

 

We did not do gala night but we did see a lot of passegengers very nicely dressed, sparkly dresses, cocktail dresses, and men in jackets. Photographers were there to take pictures.

 

Back to last night. We did room service which was excellent!! We ordered off the MDR menu and an item from the all day dining menu and from the kids menu. Very quick service and food was nice and hot. The prime rib was delicious!

Thank you for this info too! :)

Thank you for sharing these breath-taking photos!

I am so excited to read your "live" trip report! My husband and I are sailing this cruise in two weeks and your posts have been great!

Have you experienced any of the nightly events yet? Shows, live music? The last time I sailed on the Eurodam was her inaugural year so I know many things have changed since then. Hoping to see some photos of the ship when you have a chance!

Thank you for the GREAT review! Makes me very excited for our upcoming Eurodam Alaska cruise!

Sailing away from Juneau after the best day ever. We rented a car from Juneau Car Rental. We walked from the cruise ship...next time we would take a cab. It was kind of a long walk (part uphill) and I would rather spend that time sightseeing. We drove to the shrine of St. Therese, spectacular!!!! We then drove down to eagle beach. Nice, but St. Therese was better. We then drove to mendenhall glacier. We walked to nugget falls and then to the photo stop. Beautiful. At this point it was about 2pm. We we're meeting Jayleen of Jayleen's Alaska at 4pm. So, we went out for pizza and a beer at Rocky and Bullwinkle's and it was perfect. Totally hit the spot. We then headed to the marina to meet Jayleen. We got there 30 minutes early but so did the other family on her charter so headed out early. Freaking amazing. We saw it all!!!! A ton of whales, orcas and sea lions!!!!! It was the best day ever!!!! We then drove back to town, dropped off the rental (took a cab back to the pier) had dinner at Tracy's Crab Shack, walked around the shops (glacier soap is amazing!) And then to red dog saloon for a beer. We are exhausted and oh so happy!!! I hope everyone enjoys Juneau as much as we did!

Kathy thank you SO SO much for your experience! I was not sure what my husband and I were going to do in port but I know we most certainly wanted to head to the St. Terese shrine! So glad you said it was amazing. :) Thank you for all this great info! Made me very excited for our upcoming cruise.

Thanks for doing this thread!

Please put me down for ms Eurodam June 30-July 7 Alaska (r/t from Seattle)

Thanks!!

The direct link to the one place on earth that I KNOW you can find answers to most, if not all, of your questions can be found at HAL Facts.com Not sure of the exact link for the layout diagrams, but you should be able to find them here: http://halfacts.com/general-info/

Welcome back to CC!!!

THANKS! How have I never saw this link before! I appreciate it. :)

Hi all! I was a past member for many years and then life got in the way and I left sadly. But life is good again and my husband and I are planning an Alaskan cruise this July. I have sailed HAL many many times but he never has. I’m trying to plan our trip the best possible way for him. I knew many years ago you could request specific table numbers in the dining room and I knew at one point there was even a layout with the numbers floating around here. Is that still possible to do? I have not yet read every page on this thread nor Can I find a “search the forums” box. Sorry to be repetitive if it’s around.

Happy sailing.
