Visited Space Needle; Pike’s Place; original (first) StarBucks.

Juneau, Alaska

5 out of 5
Whale watching was fun. Saw whales (7 or 8), bald eagles (too many to count), sea lions (lots of them) and amazing views of snow covered mountains.

Skagway, Alaska

4 out of 5
White Pass Train ride provided a variety of breathtaking views. Skagway was quaint. We stopped for lunch in town and the prices of the meals were much much higher than back home.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Absolutely fantastic. The glaciers were incredible. Watching from Deck 15 - the Observation Lounge made it extra special!

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

4 out of 5
Wildlife and Crab Feast at the Lodge was fun and well worth the time and money.

Victoria, British Columbia

3 out of 5
Not enough time and too dark to enjoy the Oh Canada bus tour.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and smooth! Well done.
