Entertainment

Liar's Club was an absolute hoot! Highlight of entertainment. Ventriloquist was a close second. First comedian was ok. Last comedian was horrible. Both musical shows we're very good.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

4 out of 5
No excursion

Ketchikan, Alaska

3 out of 5
Rainy which made it less enjoyable to see the port.

CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER

5 out of 5
Port was a no-stop on board excursion. Awesome! Having biologist, Brent Nixon narrating thru the slow cruise thru the Fjord and to the glacier was exceptional. This was a highlight of the trip.

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
We did a whale watch trip from a local vendor on arrival at the port. Very nice!

Skagway, Alaska

5 out of 5
Yes. White MTN train excursion. Walked thru Skagway after excursion. Neat town.

Cruise Inside Passage, Alaska

3 out of 5
On board port. If I remember correctly, this was during a time of a meal or entertainment, so I don't have strong impression of this port.

Victoria, British Columbia

4 out of 5
Took a bike-rickshaw trip with our party of 8 which we negotiated with a local vendor. The amount of time in Victoria was late in the day, and limited, so we didn't get to see much.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and organized.
