This will be the first cruise ever for myself and my fiancee - we negotiated on our honeymoon plans. I picked a cruise and he picked Alaska as the destination. :) We'll be on RCCL's Serenade of the Seas.
Thu - SPOKANE - driving there just to spend the night since our flight leaves very early the next day to Vancouver (Spokane is our closest hub).
Fri - VANCOUVER - playing this by ear so far. Considering Stanley Park and Gastown, perhaps an iMax flick (if Iron Man or Indiana Jones is there by then). We had not originally planned to get into vancouver so early so perhaps we will take a ferry to Victoria so I can see Butchart Gardens.
Sat - VANCOUVER - setting sail!
Sun - INSIDE PASSAGE
Mon - ICY STRAIT POINT - based on a lot of reviews from this board, I booked a half-day fishing charter with Dream Fish. I'm more of a photographer but my fiancee is really looking forward to the fishing, so I figure I can take pictures of him catching fish. :)
Tue - HUBBARD GLACIER
Wed - SKAGWAY - again, based on reviews from this board, I booked a 9 hour rail/bus tour through Chilkoot Charters to White Pass/Carcross/Emerald Lake.
Thu - JUNEAU - free day! I figure we will see Mendenhall, perhaps do the tram if the weather is nice, but play it by ear.
Fri - CRUISING
Sat - VANCOUVER - heading back home. :(
This is a great thread - I'm getting all sorts of ideas for things to add to my list for our "flexible" days!
Please post your planned or completed itinerary
