Most definitely go with Holland America Line.
Princess Cruises would be my second choice,
a distant second.

How did you feel when cruise with Princess? If you choose between Princess and Holland America, why it is better?

Lapting, There is not really an answer to your question! It's a bit like asking what is the best automobile to buy? It depends on what you like, what you require, and how much do you want to pay. Each cruise line offers a different vacation 'experience' targeted at slightly different customers.

Tell us a bit about yourself, then we can help you i.e. Are you young or older? Are you looking for a fun ship or a more laid-back experience? Are you single or taking the family?

Hi,
I have shorten my choice going to Alaska --Princess, HAL and Celebrity.Which offers the best service, facilities, staterooms, shore excursion, especially children's program.
Do you think going to Alaska should join a pre/post cruisetours??
I've been on Maasdam last year and my feeling was not so good. Should I choose HAL again ??
