Majestic Princess CruiseTour Suggestions

[Sunkissed Mommy]

Hello Everyone.  I am looking for some feedback (cross posted in Princess forum as well).  We will be doing a "On Your Own" Alaska Cruise tour next June (2023) on the Majestic Princess.  It will be myself, DH, two DS's (10 and 6), and my DH's parents.  The last time we (DH and I) sailed on Princess was in 2011 on Southbound Alaska cruise on the Coral Princess.  My in-laws are Elite status on Princess because they go multiple times per year, but they have never done Alaska.

 

Now that we have kids we wanted to take them to one of our favorite trips!  We're also treating his parents to the trip as well.  We chose Princess because we know they do Alaska well and have the best itinerary choices.  My children are used to Royal Caribbean and Disney cruises, so I know this will be a tad different for them.  They will be 10 and 6.  Although my youngest is like a little grown up so I don't have any worries about the trip being a wash for him.  That being said I was looking for feedback on a few things:

• Do they do any special things in the kids clubs for Alaska cruises?
• Will they allow the kids in the indoor pool?  I remember on the Coral Princess they did because the outdoor pool was too cold.
• Any advice on the cruise tour portion? I already have the excursions we want picked out, just waiting for them to open up! 
• Anything on the Majestic that we should not miss?

 

Here's what I have already planned just for reference:

• Denali Lodge- Covered Wagon Adventure with Back Country Dining, all 6 of us.
• McKinley Lodge- Sun Dog Kennels, all 6 of us.
• Juneau- Helicopter on to Glacier with the kids (not in-laws) then we have the day open to do something with the in-laws.
• Ketchikan- Lumberjack Show, all 6 of us.

 

I would love suggestions for

• Juneau- After the glacier excursion, something to do with the in-laws.
• Icy Straight Point- Not sure what to do there and excursions haven't posted there yet.  I was really hoping for Skagway to do the White Pass & Yukon train, but we they probably won't be able to repair the rock slide damage by the time we go.
• A day and night in Anchorage, places to eat, something easy to do.
