Day 3
![Ketchikan, Alaska]()
The area's history is steeped in the traditions of Alaska's indigenous Tlingit people and the thriving fishing and logging industries that shaped its development. Originally known as "Kitschk-hin," meaning "thundering wings of an eagle" in the Tlingit language, Ketchikan was a vital Tlingit settlement long before European settlers arrived. With the discovery of gold in nearby creeks, Ketchikan boomed during the late 19th century Gold Rush, attracting prospectors and entrepreneurs. Timber soon became the primary industry, and Ketchikan earned the title of the "Salmon Capital of the World" due to its bustling fish canneries. Today, Ketchikan's rich history is preserved in its historic buildings, totem poles, and vibrant cultural traditions.

Auckland to Sydney with stop in Hobart, Tasmania.
Loved Westerdam and of course, the scenery was amazing - especially the 3 fjords.

![The Cruise Director and staff kept us feeling joyful, fulfilled, cared for, pampered, fed superbly, amused, and much more.]()
We are 3 seniors and we dared to explore through our exciting excursions. The service on the ship was second to none. The Cruise Director and staff made us feel welcome at every turn. They made us feel like we were the only ones they were serving. We have experienced some great cruises, but this was exceptional. It's not always about the destination. Sometimes, like this cruise, it was about what was happening on the ship. The various entertainment was outstanding. The food was excellent. There was nothing about this cruise that was shabby.

Excellent navigated cruise especially through Glacier Bay where we were given great information by local arrangers who came aboard . Also College fjoyd where we crept up slowly as close as we dare to see and hear the calving while the captain turned a full 360 degrees.

New Zealand was a beautiful destination and Holland America made it a seemless holiday with great food, service and amenities.

![Everything is extra]()
We didn't opt for the 'Have it all' package as we don't drink much and thought it expensive, especially for a 38 day trans-Pacific cruise!
But by the time you added up the cost of drinks, coffees, shore excursion discounts, speciality dining nights, wifi and gratuities that would have come with the package perhaps it was a false economy? All of these were stupidly expensive.
Gratuities for our cabin for the cruise was over $1000, added to our bill without prior knowledge (steep considering 18% gratuities was added to every drinks bill).
There were so many things that were charged extra throughout the ship. Yoga and spinning classes at $20, bridge visits, galley visits (over $100! I remember them being free), craft classes, several items on the menu every night as extras! People joked that they'd charge for toilet paper if they could.
The cruise ended up being so much more expensive than. Buyer beware.

We went on the Koningsdam after our tour of Canada. The ship was beautiful and we saw so much wildlife life. It was absolutely fantastic

![False advertisement and no customer service]()
Booked a cruise with HA, thinking they offer nice excusions. At the time of the booking they all seemed available. Day after booking I have discovered there is literally none left, besides basic walking city tours for over 100 USD!
In short, I cannot even spend my onshore excusions credit with them.
I have written so many emails and called so many times trying to find a solution, but they dont return any answer.. My phone bill is probably over 500 USD after one month of this now. I simply hate HA at this point of time.
On top of it, they website is super buggy - hundreds of error messages, you cannot check out, you see things as available which are not, and and and...
And they also advertise wrong prices - e.g. Have it all package for 55 USD a day, and when you try to check out it magically becomes 65 USD a day.

A wonderful way to see Indonesia and Malaysia from Singapore. This was a special time, especially the tours on the many ports of call. Quite naturally one compares it with the best of my many previous cruises, and that`s when improvements spring to mind.
What was missing was the daytime activities and evening entertainments to stimulate the senses. Regular Holland America cruisers, of which there are many, insist that classical music and educational speakers were the norm before covid. If the latter had been in evidence, then a great cruise could have been an amazing one.
Our tours were expensive, and although some tour guides were exceptional, sadly some were very poor. Holland America does not ask for feedback, so presumably no opportunity to reward the best whilst eliminating the seriously bad.
Thank you Holland America, and in particular the majority of the service staff, who went out of their way to ensure our well being.
