What did you think of Holland America? We love them but they seem to get a bit of a bashing here.
We have cruised out of Vancouver a few times with them but not Seattle.

It was our first time and if the itinery is what we were looking for we would certainly use them again.
Good food, friendly staff and the Amsterdam although one of their older ships i thought was very nice.

You can even do whale watch tours out of Victoria Harbour, my crew from Barbados did not listen to us about dressing with a breaker or sweater and almost froze themselves from the spray and day. Course colours of our waters are not a blue as the Caribbean.

Glad you enjoyed Painter Lodge, did you also do any fishing at the lodge

Holland America is a good company and the new two week tours are a bonus better in my mind than having to fly one way back from Anchourage.

...Cheaper too!!!! Couldn't believe the price of a one way ticket ANC to YVR!

No, didn't fish. We used it as a stopover before flying on to Knight Inlet. Now that is an AMAZING place!!!

I love Alaska. I am also a real true fan of Holland America. I sailed on HA for years but in a working capacity. Their ships were always stunning and the service second to none. I sailed to Alaska 22 times in one season on the Statedam. I will go back again in the near future to Alaska as I have never been with my husabd so we must do it! I loved all the ports of call and I loved sitting on deck in an evening watching the wild life and it never went dark in June. We had many a happy time in The red Dog Saloon in Juneau. The sawdust on the floor and the music and the long bar where the bartender would place the beer on the bar and push to slide along to the other end, just as Wyatt Earp did in the movies. His gun (W.E.) is in the Red Dog salon so they say! He lost it in poker game so legend as it.
