This was a once in a lifetime cruise. There are other places I want to visit rather than returning here. Best parts were the times spent on land. Strongly encourage people to add the land tour, if possible. Denali was amazing!

Take the tour of Alaskan Brewing Company (walk to their store in town and sign up, $20 per person gets you transportation to the brewery and 7 4-oz samples of their beers along with the tour)
