We're taking the Zaandam to Alaska on 8/25. Haven't seen many comprehensive reviews from people who have taken her recently to Alaska; wish there were more.

Was on the Zaandam in May( Alaska ). You are going to love it, a beautiful ship and excellent service.

Hi Nvan - Read that you were on the Zaandam in May. Our group of six is booked for a cruise on that ship in early August. Any tips on what to expect, what to look for, or what to avoid? We are looking forward to the trip (25th wedding anniversary), and although we have been on several cruises previously, this will be our first experience on HAL. Also, any tips on what to pack would be appreciated. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Anyone sailing the Zaandam to Alaska will have the pleasure of meeting Jessica. She is the ship's hostess and a dear friend. Have known her for 2 years since sailing with her on the Rotterdam. Tell her Kirk said hello.
