Ketchikan, Alaska

Did the Duck Tour boat, if you like boats & bald eagles then this is for you. We weren't impressed & were a little bored

Thumbs Up 3

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5

Juneau is beautiful. We did the 20 person canoe by the Glacier's & waterfall. Very nice but again your rowing there & back so the trip back was a bit boring.

Thumbs Up 1

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5

Take the shuttle into town, the town is really nice. Stay away from the Skagway Railroad excursion. All you see if mountains & an occassional waterfall. When we were there is was very hot so the train was hot & on the way back down we had the diesel fumes in our faces. Other people took the bus tour/skagway train & they said that was really nice.

Victoria, British Columbia

Such a beautiful place!!! I want to go back just to explore. While we were there we found "The Irish Times" Pub. That was a lot of fun with real Irish music & the employees in kilts! They couldn't have been nicer to all of us. They also have food.

I’m not sure,but I know there is no charge for any of the shows! I believe there is on NCL mega ships. You will enjoy the Anthem and enjoy that 270 room!
