8/28/2024 Thank you for the video of Koningsdam journey to Juneau. We just completed this cruise and loved it. You allowed me to see some excursions I missed while onboard. Thank you!
I am new to your channel. I love the information and views you show. I am wondering if the Alaska cruise you took would be smooth enough for someone who is prone to sea sickness? Or what would be the best medicine to take on a cruise for that. I look forward to your next video! 🙂🌺
Thanks so much for watching! I actually get sea sickness really easily myself, the nice part about this itinerary is that it stays in the “inside passage”. Thankfully we didn’t encounter any rough seas. A cruise to Alaska that includes Sitka, you have more of a chance of rougher waters. I’m no medical professional, I typically bring the non-drowsy gravol with me and ginger tablets. Some people like to use “sea bands” or patches you wear behind your ear. Hopefully this helps 😊
You do such a lovely job! My family of 4 is headed here for my son’s HS graduation trip this June! It’s so fantastic to see ahead of time and learn from you. Do you recommend bill excursions through Holland America or buying in town upon arrival?
Hi Ariane! I see that you went to the sea view pool, we’re travelling with a little one and just wondering, is that particular pool adults only or are children also allowed? I love following your cruise as we are going on the same in about a week! Thanks for sharing, your views are wonderful and you can tell you work hard on making them so. :)
Hello Maria! Thanks so much for watching and your kind words 😊 The “Sea View Pool” at the aft of the Koningsdam is an adults only pool. The main pool (The Lido Pool which has a retractable roof) is family friendly :) I hope you have a great cruise!
Thanks for watching! I think it depends on your personal preferences. I personally think it’s a great option as you have access to a more “premium room service menu” (I really enjoy room service breakfasts) and access to the Club Orange Restaurant which is similar to a specialty dining venue from what I saw. There are other perks, but these were the two that really stood out as the value add in my opinion. The next time I sail on Holland America I’m planning to purchase Club Orange. Hopefully this helps?
At the time of my sailing in May 2022, Club Orange was an additional $35 USD per person per day on the Koningsdam (this is subject to change), however it was also based on availability as there is a limit on how many "Club Orange" passengers there are on the ship. You'll need to call your travel agent or Holland America for a quote on Club Orange and to see if it's available for your specific sailing.
I ended up purchasing club orange (upcoming 7 day trip to Alaska on the Koningsdam) and the total for 2 was $350 for the week. So $175 per person. Perks include better in room breakfast menu, own seating area for club orange members in the main dining room, priority boarding, front of line for excursions, front of line for guest services and some other perks but those are the memorable ones for me

Hello and thanks for watching! Holland America’s prices are pretty good for excursions. There are some excursions that you can purchase right in the different towns you visit, this is great as you have more flexibility if the weather isn’t great. Hope this helps!

Nice video! Do you think Club Orange is worth the $$ for the perks?

@@WanderlustJourney thank you!
@@WanderlustJourney how much is the club orange upgrade?

The food on Holland is way much better than on Princess ships.
I would agree, Holland America has done a great job elevating their food in the last few years.
What month did you travel ?
This cruise was from May 28th to June 4th, 2022.
@@WanderlustJourney it looked like you saw a lot of whales. Is that true ? Because I’m going for the whales and May would be great
Too much time spent on restaurants and excessive eating rather than the incredible sights 😢
