CRUISE ENDICOTT ARM & DAWES GLACIER Did not visit port

Royal decided before the cruise to skip this and used a 4 day in advance lame ass weather report as an excuse. Ended up being a sunny beautiful day.

Glad you enjoyed it. Alaska is an amazing place. The stop in Victoria is only to comply with Regulations that ships must visit a foreign port before returning to the original US port. Try a one-way cruise between Vancouver and Alaska for longer port times and usually an additional port or glacier day.
