Nice choices!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Not everyone on board is a gambler, partier, or heay drinker. I think the cruise director could be a little more inclusive of the rest of the passengers. It seems like she was catering to a fairly small group.

I love a town with NO stop lights. We rented a car there as well and drove all the way into the Canadian Yukon Territory. By spending $130 for a car rental from Avis, you can see all the land-based sites a lot cheaper!

We rented a car from Rent-A Wreck and got to see everything there is to see in Juneau as well as taking our time at the glacier.
