Review summary

Great time. Drink package very expensive but you pay $12-20 per drink otherwise. Staff was over the top, exceptional. Ship was very nice with lots to do for an active family. Wish we had gone 1-2 weeks earlier as more would have been open and nicer weather.

Bed was very comfortable. I like a hard bed. Cabin was plenty large and very nice.

Ship tip

When disembarking take your own luggage, much faster and easier.

Pretty commercialized. Take the city tour with the walk to the glacier. Book with M&M tours when you pull into port. Our driver and his info was fabulous

Skagway, Alaska
