Review summary

We always enjoy Alaska, just beautiful anytime of the cruising year. This is a good way to see south east Alaska. Always consider the timing for the best weather, which means the best for deck time and for excursions.

Salmon Sports Fishing Adventure, wasn't.#550A. Filthy head, and cabin area. Purchased excursion for salmon fishing, arrival was told was catch and release only. Had to stop fishing early to assist a broke-down boat. Poor boat handling. Ship gave us our money back. Visited Red Dog, great fun as usual.
