We are also signed up for the land cruise and July 6th sailing. Initially, we were tempted to add a few days to explore Vancouver. I agree, though, it will be time to get home even though we'll arrive late in the evening.

Bob, I think you may have missed my review... no drink cards offered, and the internet speed was so poor that it wouldn't even connect to do the test LOL

I've read some negative reviews lately of food/service in Windjammer and MDR. Do you recommend dining package for some of the days? Do they have the lobster/steak night in MDR? Thanks! Glad you are having fun!

Skagway consider the white Pass and Yukon railway, a dog sled/ musher camp visit. In Juneau you can do Roberts Tram on your own, we did a whale watch/Mendenhall glacier excursion but you don’t walk on the glacier if that’s important and we only saw whale flippers or blows. We saw orcas from the ship during the inside passage. And I saw more whales on the east coast years ago. In Ketchikan we toured a totem pole park and the lumberjack/log rolling show. In Icy Point we did a tram tour that was a bit long, slow and got boring but it ended with a cultural show that explained the history and beliefs of the people and demonstrated the dances which we enjoyed. Our level of mobility often limits us. You need to decide your activity level and interests as there are so many options.

Depends on what you are interested in. We were on Celebrity 5 years ago, but same itinerary as Radiance. We also did a week inland before the cruise. We did a whale watching tour, a Kenai Fjords tour, Behind the Scenes tour at the Alaska Sea Life Center, white water rafting, Midnight ATV ride, shuttle to Wonder Lake in Denali National Park, flight seeing to Misty Fjords National Monument, hiking on a glacier, train ride (twice), zipline. There is so much to do, but you have to decide what you are most interested in and plan accordingly. Best place to start is your local bookstore or library and pick up some guide books. I like Frommers Alaska, but many on the Alaska Boards also recommend Anne Viponds Alaska by Cruiseship (or something along those lines).

Smart! I forgot about the guidebooks! Thanks!!
