Ryndam Holland America: Alaska Inside Passage Cruise Review and Photos
Last summer, as you may recall from a few posts ( Tall Tale Taxidermy/USPS , Vancouver: landmark french quarter hotel First Impressions , Banff National Park Photos ), we took a family cruise on the Ryndam Holland America ship. Specifically we took the Alaska Inside Passage Cruise which started and ended in Vancouver and stopped in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and Glacier Bay National Park.
Staff: The ship staff were incredibly friendly. They were always smiling and willing to answer landmark french quarter hotel any questions we had. They seemed to genuinely care that we had a good cruise, landmark french quarter hotel and because of them, we did.
Food : I was expecting mediocre food based on what I had previously heard about cruises. Luckily, the food was amazing. Had it not been for our wedding immediately following the cruise, I would have likely eaten enough to gain 10 pounds in a week.
On-Ship Activities: I brought several books on our Alaska cruise expecting to be bored during the days at-sea. However, there were so many on-board activities that I didn t even get one of my books finished. Plus, it turned out I didn t need to bring books because the on-ship library stocked more bestsellers than my local library. Some of the best activities included a tour of the ships kitchen and a mixology class.
My only suggestion when it comes to booking a Holland America cruise is that if it s not too much more money, to book a room with a window (or even a veranda if you find a good price). I didn t spend much time in my room, but had I wanted to, it would have been a little claustrophobic.
Before we took our Alaska landmark french quarter hotel Inside Passage cruise, we contacted a Holland America PR rep who arranged for us to get a behind the scenes tour with the ship s Environmental Officer. On each of Holland America s ships, there is an Environmental Officer who is responsible for ensuring that the ship follows all applicable environmental laws as well as promoting overall environmental stewardship. We met with the Ryndam Holland America Environmental Officer for about an hour and learned about what cruise ships are doing to be more environmentally friendly. Here are a couple landmark french quarter hotel of snapshots from the tour:

This is a great and informative article. As for ecotravel in Alaska, more specifically the inland passage, National landmark french quarter hotel Geographic recently did an article on the best cruise to take in the inland passage. They highlighted a company that provides an eco adventure, more than just on board, they actually have a staff of naturalists who are familiar with the flora and fauna of the area and provide excursions in kayaks and the like in the area. It sounded like the best way to travel the inland passage! Thanks for sharing your journey.
I am trying to research this cruise based on the cruise only cost but can find no information regards on board tariffs. Can anyone landmark french quarter hotel give me an idea, (ball park figures) of the tariffs in the the various resteraunts and bars. Many thanks Gary
@ Gary I m not exactly sure what tariffs you are referring to. The main two dining options are free; and the fancy restaurant was, I believe, $20-30/person landmark french quarter hotel for a 3-5 course meal. Alcohol is always pricey; but we got wine cards that I think made the glasses of wine only about $5-6 each.
Good to know that the cruise lines are trying to clean up their environemental act but I fear they have some way to go. Personally I m not one for all that glacier watching too cold on deck, but I love Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway great little ports of call.
