Didn't spend a lot of time in Seward but what we saw was ok.

We had a clear day to see the glacier and saw some calfing.

Did the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari. It was a good excursion.

Visited a couple of bars. Did the Roberts Tramway, nice ride up with a great view. Also, did the 5 Plane Glacier Taku Float plane ride. That was a great excursion.

Ketchikan, Alaska

Didn't see much of Ketchikan. It was raining that day. We did go fishing but we only caught one Haibut.

It was ok.

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

Took a bus ride around the city and got a good feel of the city.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Took us awhile to get of the ship. I think part of the problem our group of people from YMT didn't have the bus ready for us. and they seem to be a little unorganized
