We are doing this exact same itinerary in August! Glad to hear the positive review. I was a little nervous about trying an Alaskan cruise. We've only done Caribbean cruises so far. Any tips to make for a great trip? What happens at the Tracy Arm Fjord and the Inside Passage? Do you disembark at any point? Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed your trip!! ☺️
