Creator's Key Takeaways
We spent about a month on the Holland America Westerdam. We left out of Seattle. We cruised across the Pacific and we circumnavigated Japan.
We think cruising is is a great value. We're not trying to sell you a cruise.
For this kind of vacation to be right about the $500 a day including everything.
We actually found this to be a pretty good deal.
