jrm9999 Posted April 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2013 We are looking at doing the train in the am, the 8:25 to 11:40 and then another tour at 12:30. That's not much time to get a bite to eat. Is there anything down by the docks to get to eat without getting back on the ship, even if just a small hot dog stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmc Posted April 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Depending on which dock you come into, there are several small food stands near the ship. The walk into town can be a bit of a trek, so maybe you would be smart to make some sandwiches in the morning and pack them with you. We have done this before, as there is usually meat and cheese that you can easily use at breakfast. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some people sneak it off, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm9999 Posted April 22, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thank snowmc! rachelfran I know that's true in foreign ports. Not sure what the rules are in Alaska since the cruise actually starts in Canada. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted April 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Technically, you aren't supposed to bring non-packaged food off the ship. Now, there probably won't be dogs checking you, but you shouldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBill Posted April 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you booked your tours through a tour company vice the ship, contact the tour company to see if you can be dropped off from the first tour downtown and picked up for the second downtown. Cindy at Klondike Tours was able to do this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamminlion Posted April 22, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Don't take food of the ship. Unless it's prepackaged. There are places in town you can eat. Take advantage of meeting some locals, and support their locally owned businesses. We loved Skagway Brewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Russo Posted April 22, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Skagway is very small , easy to walk around. There are several places to get something to eat. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolreader Posted April 22, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The train station is closer to downtown than the ship. You could easily get into town, eat, and get back by the shuttles that run from around the town and back to the ship (if the ship is where you are picking up your next tour). One year I did the train and the trip to Haynes. We ate on the boat going over to Haynes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bill, It's so funny when I see your name pop up in cruise critic. This is also my father's name. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlipperRae Posted April 23, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 23, 2013 While we're on the topic of timeliness in Skagway, can someone tell me roughly how long it would take to walk (in high heels) from the Skagway Brewing Company to the ship (I think we're at the Railroad Docks).
