I had a cabin as one of the crew. It was very nice.

Study the layout of the ship as soon as you can after boarding. It will help you find your cabin easily.

The people were exceptionally friendly. I was alone for dinner and was invited by some young people to share their table. They were a lot of fun!

After getting past the souvenir shops it was great! I took a train to the top of the mountains and saw the trail where the gold rush people climbed the mountain many times to get their gear and supplies into Canada. I was amazed at the beauty and the struggle of these people.
