Juneau, Alaska

We took the tour for whale watching, glaciers and rain forest trails.. Small group of people on the boat (20) and lots of opportunities to take pictures of the humpback whales. Did not feel crowded on the boat. We saw other whale watching tours that looked very crowded with multiple passengers on board

Skagway, Alaska

We took a fast ferry to the nearby town of Haines. Then went on a bus drive up to a bald eagle national reserve and went rafting down the river. Saw a brown bear during our trip and had a great time with our tour guide Cody

Victoria, British Columbia

Beautiful city at night. My only complaint was that we had very little time at this port. This was the only place I did not do an NCL cruise excursion so could not get off the boat until 830 when we should’ve been off the boat at 8 PM. We had to return to the boat at 11:30 PM. We took a private tour of the city from the cruises only website! Our driver was right outside our gate waiting for us and had our name on a sign to identify him easily. The tour was full of historical facts and wish we could’ve been here longer.

Book all your excursions, shows, specialty dining dates and times online prior to embarkation. You need to go to the kiosk to sign up for laser tag and go karting as soon as possible. That way you don’t spend all your time running around on the first day to get settled.

Ketchikan, Alaska

My favorite town of the three Alaskan spots we visited. We did the salmon sportfishing excursión and caught both pink and silver salmon that we are able to ship back home.

Cruise Glacier Bay

At sea day. But hurry up and visit Alaska as the glaciers are receding compared to when I was there 18 years ago.!!

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

At Sea day

Seattle, Washington

We had 6 hrs and enjoyed this city prior to returning home. It’s nice to see Pikes Market and the Space Needle. Had lunch at a nearby cafe. Grabbed a cup of Seattle’s best coffee and visited the original Starbucks location. We enjoyed doing things at our own pace and even had time for a Great Escape Room challenge before going back to the airport on their LINK metro system on the way home. Uber and Lyft are very expensive from the airport to the downtown area.

Miami, Florida

Freeport has been hurt by prior hurricanes and still hasn't recovered Nassau was fantastic!!!!
