To make sure we could whale watch around the clock, I booked a verandah stateroom with a private balcony.
I loved seeing all the marine life from my verandah stateroom’s private balcony. Rebecca Reuter
Sailing on an Alaskan cruise was on my husband’s bucket list, so we went on a seven-night expedition aboard Holland America Line’s Westerdam ship.
I’m an avid whale watcher, so I selected a 200-square-foot verandah stateroom with a 54-square-foot private balcony, which was the perfect spot to whale watch in the early morning and evening.
