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.

Consider an inside cabin or guaranteed inside cabin to save money.
Skip club orange if you don't need a specific room.
Book cruise only if you don't need Wi-Fi or drink packages.
