I have not had time to post since I got back from my cruise but wanted to share something about my experience.
I went on the Sapphire Princess 9/5-9/12 cruise to Alaska. I thought that Princess cruise lines were very nice. They had excellent food, service, and accommodations. I was very pleased. I have only done Carnival in the past, but I think Princess is WAY better.
Ketchikan-we did the Misty Fjords Wilderness Cruise & Flight
This was my favorite of all of our excursions. WELL WORTH the money spent. We had an excellent time, the best scenery ever. We even got to see bear cubs!!
Orca Point Lodge & Whale Watching-Juneau
This was a lot of fun as well. We got to see a bunch of humpback whales and 2 eagles. The salmon was the best I ever had at the lodge too!!
Whitepass Yukon Railway-Skagway
This was OK. I think if you can do the train ride only one way it may be better. We did the train ride both ways and thought it was too much. Beautiful scenery, but I would not recommend it to anyone. There are better options for an excursion at this port.
Victoria Pub Tour
This was great! We got a city tour, even stopped for photo opportunities. We stopped at 3 pubs, and had the equivalent to 6-8 beers at least. One stop was at Spinnakers that was AMAZING. They had homemade bread, cheese, chocolate, vinegar and beer there. It was SOOO devious! We want to go back to Victoria for another trip-absolutely beautiful!
Our trip was perfect, with the exception of one bad day at sea. We hit 30-foot swells, and the boat was a rocking. We almost did not stop at Victoria as a result! I am sure that anyone who was on this cruise can agree with me that it was a rough day! I did not survive...but despite that I had an awesome trip!
