Overall the trip was a success. The food was plentiful and mostly pretty good. The excursions we booked were the highlight and all were real good. The dog sledding adventure on the Glacier was the best. The seal watch was okay with a very long distance away from the otters and or seals to not really be able to see them hardly at all. We did however see a lot of whales in the vicinity, which was a goal. Went to see totem poles in Ketchikan and as we returned to the bus between 5 and 10 minutes late, discovering that it took off without us. The driver claimed to look for us but we were close by and never saw him. The driver called his supervisor who was afraid of being 10 minutes late for the next tour, he told the driver to leave us there. We live in TN and had no connections to get back to the ship. We did however find a ride back with another tour driver whose next stop was close to the ship. Grateful for her help. The weather was fantastic as we heard everywhere we went from the locals, who described it being raining almost everyday and pouring the last 4 days. We are grateful for a successful trip and having to pay for the ship's umbrella we left on the tour bus, which the tour did not return, we will never use sourdough tours again. The supervisor was not professional and he was ranting as we walked away. Holland was good overall but too many of their events being held were for shopping and not entertainment. We'd use them again, maybe after we try another cruise line to compare.
