My parents adore HAL and have cruised twice to Alaska and are going back again next year. As another mentioned, they stay in the Neptune suites as my mom loves spending time on the balcony.

Not to muddy the waters but we did a cruise on Alaska Dream Cruises https://www.alaskandreamcruises.com/...xoChK8QAvD_BwE in 2018. Our son was 12 at the time and it was an amazing experience. The daily excursions were so interesting. One stop was an island of 250 people. Our one guide grew up on the island and we saw it thru a local's eye. We are foodies and thought the meals were very good.
