Right now, we are looking to book a last minute Alaska deal sailing out of Vancouver. Both ships have similar ports. Has anyone sailed either of these two ships in Alaska and tell me the pros/cons for Alaska? I have never sailed on Holland America.
Thanks...

Most plans include coverage in Alaska as long as you.
Alaska is very port intensive, so almost each day you are in port (exception would be Glacier Bay of the ports :D

If you plan on going to Alaska only once. Would you take a cruise from North to South, South to North, or a roundtrip cruise from the same Port? And why?

Which would be better, port or starboard for the Alaska 2013 cruises? It will be leaving from Vancouver like the 2011 Alaska cruises.
I'm excited and ready to book tomorrow! We probably will be booking 2 verandah cabins so want to choose wisely.

We've never cruised ...
