deora24 Posted May 19, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I've gone back 15 pages and have seen little about this ship. Doing the the Seward to Vancouver sailing this June 10...stops in Haines, Juneau, and Ketchikan. It's our first time on HAL and in Alaska...so any recent info re: the Statendam, worthwhile excursions, etc. would be appreciated. We've only sailed RCCL...expecting the HAL experience to be a bit different. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDAZ Posted May 20, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It's been a few years since I was on the Statendam so I'm not sure how much help I could be. I do remember her being a lovely ship -- We particularly enjoyed cocktails and appetizers in the Ocean Bar before dinner. There was a three piece jazz band there playing dancing music (ballroom-type) and a small dance floor which was always full. As for the itinerary questions, check the Alaska port of call forum -- lots of advice there on the different ports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted May 20, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2007 We have sailed a few times on the Statendam - just last June - Alaskan back-to-back cruises. She is a great ship. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Cruises Posted May 20, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2007 We were on the STATENDAM twice (one 30 day cruise, other one a 22 day trip). She is a beautiful ship. The room we like most on her is the Piano Bar. We have found that all the HAL excursions are good .. check out the site (or your booket) and read up on the tour so you can choose ones to your liking. We're sure you will thoroughly enjoy your trip on the STATENDAM. Also, WELCOME to HAL (we're sure it will be the first of many!) As you can see from our signature, we keep going back!

J_M_F Posted May 20, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2007 We have been on the Statendam twice. The first was a 35 day cruise in Dec, 2005, the second a 34 day cruise March of this year. We love the Statendam! She has a great captain and crew, a very nice deck plan, and at 1200 passengers is just the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
