Review summary

I had a great Alaskan cruise. The weather could have been better at some points, but could not have been better at others. I guess that is just how Alaska is, from what I understand.

The weather was terrible. I did a "photography" excursion that costed $250 that I would not have paid $5 for in hindsight.

I took the Princess bus to YVR, but I should have just taken the train, which is much cheaper and faster. I thought the Princess transfer would be smoother, but it was not. Next time in Vancouver, I will only take the train.
