PCWalton1 Posted August 24, 2016 Author #226 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Your pics are fantastic. Your review is making me want to return to Alaska. Was your Skagway excursion through the ship or did you book privately? We took the train but I don't remember getting off. Also, it was a roundtrip and I am thinking your tour is much more thorough. Thanks for sharing your cruise with us. It was with Chikoot Charters and Tours. Depending on when you started you either rode up on the bus and back on the rail or the opposite. It was 7 1/2 hours which gave us time to explore at the lunch/sled dog stop and in Carcross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted August 24, 2016 Author #227 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Awesome review so far Your pics are just amazing. That bear looked big! Nice shot of the rainbow. Love your artistic photos. Thanks, I get lucky sometimes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapster85 Posted August 24, 2016 #228 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Maybe the zip line? Not this time. The zip line at ISP is one of the more expensive I've encountered, yet I still regret not doing it. Hope to make it back there some day so I can!

PCWalton1 Posted August 24, 2016 Author #229 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Oh the donuts --- they were so delicious, I could have eaten just them for lunch (kidding -- I enjoyed the chicken and coleslaw; not so much the wooden fork and knife:)). Yup they were great donuts, I grabbed another for the road Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibeplato Posted August 24, 2016 #230 Share Posted August 24, 2016 we did the same cruise/ship the week before you, thanks for sharing your adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvcruzin Posted August 24, 2016 #231 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Sorry I missed this earlier. The captain is Trym Selvag. He sounds like the captain that was here back in April when we were here. He is the same captain from back in April. Love all the photos. What a great idea to do a drive/train combination in Skagway. We rented a car and drove up to the Yukon. I think I might try that option next summer. You miss a lot of things by just doing the train. Marie is cute as usual. Someone needs to take a couples picture of the 2 of you. Edited August 24, 2016 by iluvcruzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted August 24, 2016 Author #232 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes he is the same captain as the Hawaii cruise. Marie has many pictures of the two of us on her phone. I should pull a few over here. Here's one. [emoji2] Sent from my Galaxy S7 Edge using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted August 24, 2016 #235 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Wow!! You really ARE having great weather for your trip!! Looks so nice to see those pictures with real sun and not the rain, drizzle, and clouds we had!! Enjoy! :D Loving your continuing review, and great photos! That sour dough bakery in Carcross had some killer big (and totally delicious) blueberry scones, plus the best salmon chowder we ever had!! :D At Icy Strait, we walked into Hoonah on our way to the Office Bar for those huge, fresh Dungenous crabs. Did you go there? I noticed your picture of the front of the restaurant. We were rewarded with awesome views of four huge Humpback whales that cruised slowly along the water front as we walked. Also saw cute Otters playing along the beach. What a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin'fun Posted August 24, 2016 #236 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The zip line at ISP is one of the more expensive I've encountered, yet I still regret not doing it. Hope to make it back there some day so I can! The zip line is a bit pricey, but it was so much fun. Of course, when you get up there and they strap you in and you have that quick flash thru your mind of "what have I gotten myself into this time!!??!! The ride was amazing and I don't like heights.

PCWalton1 Posted August 25, 2016 Author #249 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Taking advantage of a quiet morning at sea to catch up on yesterday. We were in Ketchikan and once again it was a chamber of commerce day. It reached the low 70s with gorgeous blue skies. We started the day walking around downtown so Marie could shop. The Norwegian SUn was in port too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
