O-M-G. First, I'd like to see them spend less time in Haines and more in Ketchikan. The shopping: prices are the best of the 3 stops, with very good array of shops, but Juneu has moe of them - still, I would forgo Juneau and shop in Ketchikan...the port is beautiful and has the BEST zipline course I've seen.

In Ketchikan we had scheduled a seaplane tour of the Misty Fjords but not through Norwegian (because it was cheaper through ShoreFox/Pirate Airworks). Unfortunately, it got canceled because of the heavy fog that morning. We were only there from 6am-1pm, and had we stayed till the afternoon we might've been able to fly out then when the fog lifted. So that was a huge bummer!! But instead we were able to snag a cheap tour of the city through Ketchitour. We paid $30/person and it was basically a private tour because we were the only ones on the shuttle!! (It's supposed to be a trolley tour but they took us on a smaller shuttle.) Our tour guide was excellent (I forget his name - but he's American Indian and grew up in Ketchikan), and he took us to a river where the salmon are....and we got to see TWO black bears!!! One of them even caught some salmon and was eating it. THAT in itself was worth the tour. :) It was perfect timing. He also told us where to shop for authentic, locally made items. I forget which shop it was, but I found a cute ornament made out of bark with a black bear painted on it, by a local artist.

Another rainy day. Our ship docked right beside the town so we were able to get to the shops without getting too wet. Creek Street is a must see.
