My son and I, as well as another father's son and daughter, very much enjoyed both our cruise on HAL's Amsterdam and the excursions. Did you see my post about traveling with my son to Alaska?

My family of seven met in Seattle and all of us were very excited about our first Alaskan cruise. That joy soon turned to distress as what I call the "nightmare" began. We were not traveling with children however being a freelance writer for a local mom's magazine I began questioning some parents who were. Most were not happy with the ship but were very happy with the excursions. Personally I would not recommend this cruise line to anyone, especially those with children. I plan to write my article about taking kids on an Alaskan cruise but I'm struggling to keep it positive. I have turned to the web to try to locate a few sources. If you are a parent and have traveled on a cruise to Alaska with them, I would love to hear from you. You can email me at lorirobbins@live.com Please put "cruising with kids to Alaska" in the subject line. Thank you.
