This is Seafood Puffy Pastry. I had to turn it around and angle so you didn't see where I started eating. 😆 That looks like it would be very good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was ordering it sounded like he was trying to talk me out of it. He kept saying, do you like lobster? Then, the sauce is strong. I kept saying, I love lobster 🦞. It was not strong, just right. It had about any seafood you can think of including thin salmon. I have never ordered it before but it is now on the list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a private excursion and will be interested in hearing if theres a shuttle & how long it takes to get to town. I hope they get the moor repaired by August Have a great day!

We planned our on "excursion". We are walking to the Nat'l Park to check out the totem poles, etc and the to the refuge center to see eagles and other. Then walking downtown. If I understand correctly, some excursions pick up at the pier. The port authority provides free transportation into town. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were there 7 years ago I remember that long walk back to the ship from downtown. the town web site has info on their bus: Skagway Municipal and Regional Transit SMART bus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot more on Skagway to post but will catch up on it later I’m hoping the shuttles into town are getting better. Last week, the line was long, so I thought I would wait. Now, there were 2 ships in port, so that probably made it worse. I waited, but it got longer and longer, so I got off. Line was back to the ship and waited almost an hour to get on shuttle. So for those on future sailings, if there is more than 1 ship in, don’t dally and get off when you can, if you don’t have excursions planned. I wanted to do the totem trail, and just didn’t have the time. Guess I will have to go again. 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SightCRR Posted May 17, 2022 #315 Share Posted May 17, 2022 After the totem viewing make sure to continue on the trail along Indian River. Quite beautiful. A little to early for salmon but be sure to check. Never heard of off on pier and on w/ tender. sightcrr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxStacey Posted May 17, 2022 #319 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Thank you so much for this live review! I will be on Ovation for the June 10th sailing and can't wait! I'm not looking forward to the cold/windy weather though 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCat3 Posted May 17, 2022 #320 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The Celebrity Eclipse just sailed into sight across the bay. We should be moving away from the dock in the next 15 minutes to give them our space. For anyone interested, here is the letter about this swap that Royal left in our rooms yesterday.

The only time it was too cold was in the strong wind at Skagway. Right now in Sitka I have on a long t-shirt and a light jacket and I am comfortable...... oh ya, and jeans! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 17, 2022 Author #322 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I Would recommend going to RC excursions room after boarding ro find out where you are picked up but I believe all is right off the pier. This was right off the pier where some were meeting. If not there keep going up following the signs. There is a building at the top for tours Some of the tour busses were up by the city busses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted May 17, 2022 Author #323 Share Posted May 17, 2022 We started our walk to the Sitka National Historic Park to see totem poles. Worth the walk to see the area. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
