Creator's Key Takeaways

We leave from Seattle and we're going to head to Japan and then circle the islands.

One thing we're thrilled about is the retractable roof because we'll be able to use it on this trip with the cold weather.

We can recommend it though.

It was awesome. Such a nice day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Watch the daily program for dining room brunch, as it may not be on the Navigator app.
βœ“Keep an eye out for Dutch or English tea schedules on sea days.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cold weather affecting pool deck usage β€” The retractable roof allows use of the pool deck even in cold weather.
Finding seating in dining areas due to full ship β€” Settle for the less chaotic main dining room if the Lido deck is busy.

Thinking about cruising from the U.S. to Japan instead of flying? In this first episode of our Seattle to Japan cruise vlog, we kick things off with embarkation day in Seattle, a full ship and stateroom tour, and a deep dive into diningβ€”from Dutch tea to Alaska brunch and main dining room favorites. We are aboard the Holland America Westerdam ship for 28 days straight We also share a quick port stop in Juneau, Alaska, including a visit to the iconic Red Dog Saloon and a wander through downtown. The next seven days will be at sea, and with inclement weather on the horizon, we’re leaning into ship lifeβ€”entertainment, activities, and whatever surprises the Pacific throws our way.
