Thanks everyone for very helpful (and amusing!) responses. As smaller and quieter would suit us best as well as the dates of sailing mid week we think it’ll be Zaandam!
Any advice on best cabins for the Inside Passage cruise? Would like a balcony so seems Vista Suite is the minimum to get this. Just wondering what the difference is between vista suite on Zaandam and basic verandah on Konigsdam? Good news is cabin availability for early July 2024 seems good at the moment so I can take a little longer planning our whole trip to include 4 nights Banff, Rocky Mountaineer to Vancouver, 5 nights Vancouver then take the cruise.
thanks again…all comments welcome….much appreciated…
