Oosterdam Alaska mini review

[nana51]

We have been on the lovely ms. Oosterdam since Sunday night. Everything is pretty much perfect. The rooms couldn't be better. I'm in 5149 and the views are incredible. The ship is in lovely shape and the weather has been sun sun sun. Today in Juneau it was 70 degrees. Smiles everywhere and just a wonderful ship. The 'm Venus have been a little odd, but what I've had, except the strip steak, has been God. The brisket was to die for so we're the beef short ribs. I'm attaching some photos. Today was mendenhall glacier.

Sorry, I forgot to say that the above is from the mendenhall garden. Absolutely incredible. It is a rainforest. Don't miss it.

Forgot to say. The dive in is open and delicious. They is always a line. 120 kids this trip. Hardly see them. Really this has been the best trip ever. I will do full review when I get home.

They tore the Terrace Grill signs down on Saturday afternoon. I was hopeful they would get it set up in time for your cruise! Have a burger for me!!

[nana51]

I did and will have another.

Can't you do both? I am planning to do both next week when I am there.

I live in Alaska - 95 air miles from Juneau - IMHO I would do Mendenhall Glacier first and then if time do the Tram. You can't see the glacier from the tram - you see part of Juneau and Douglas from the top of the tram. Alaska is an amazing place to call home :)

It appears that the Dive-In was specifically open for you on this cruise. Probably not the case but that is what I would go with...:cool:

We visited Mendenhall first, then the Tram ride up Mount Roberts as it was a clear day.

Thanks for the report

Love your pictures.

The pictures are amazing - how beautiful. So nice of you to post, and so glad that Dive-In was open. I agree with others - I'm sure it was in your honor. ;)

 

Looking forward to hearing more about it when you return.

Thanks for posting. I spent 2 weeks on the "O" in May starting May 11th. Can't understand why it took so long to open the Dive-In. They kept telling me any day now. That morphed into 2 months. Glad I'll get to try it on the Statendam in Sept. You were very lucky to have sun, sun, sun.

What beautiful photos. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Continue enjoying Oosterdam. She's a lovely ship with a great crew. :)

Tanks everyone. Our cabin looked right out on the tramway. Plenty of time to do both. We are in Ketchikan today and on the bus headed to our zipline. I will post photos of course. Here's a few from yesterday.
