Hi Gerry,
We did that exact trip in July 2004. The Statendam was a PERFECT ship for
sailing Alaska and, at least in 2004, did Glacier Bay and College Fjord both
going and coming back. It also did Sitka on the way back. I can't remember
if it did Skagway on both trips, but Juneau and Ketchikan were stops in both
directions.
This allows you to window shop on the way up and buy what you liked on the
way back. Hey, you can buy your duty free booze on the way up and you'll
have it available in your cabin on the way back, at least we did.
