Excursions are the one thing you should definitely do in Alaska. Save up to go there again. You missed too much by not doing any excursions. What happened in Victoria? You probably didn’t even get off the ship as most people. Victoria is a clean beautiful city. Butchart Gardens excursion definitely a must do!!!!!
