My son and I needed to go and have a relaxing adventurous vacation. We both loved our time on board. What I noticed the first day was that a cruise could be as slow and relaxing or as fast paced as you wanted. So much to see outside the boat as well as so much entertainment inside! I also loved the fact that we could not use our phones so the world pretty much stopped. My son and I had opportunities that we may never have again. So glad we went and can't wait to go again! I especially liked the morning coffee looking out at the ocean and mountains. Nothing comes close! We even saw whales, pacific sunfish and sharks from the boat. The weather was also so beautiful. Not a day of rain. The excursions were incredible; The Deadliest Catch Boat, Shoreside Salmon Fishing, and the SkagwayTrain ride. Only regret was not bringing a gopro to video the fishing trip!
