Edited by Poopsie01 Spelling-had to add the "t" to make it "there"
June 23-25, 1984 approximately, maybe exactly.....I had the rare privilege of taking a group of senior citizens as a tour escort on a trip to Alaska via the Inside Passageway on the Sundancer Cruise Ship. I believe it was on its maiden voyage that we took. We drove cross country taking the northern route, and got onto the Sundancer from Vancouver, BC. We did not come back the same way we went, so we missed what I understood was the Sundancer running aground.
There was a fire drill the first day/evening that we were on the Sundancer and one of the guests was knocked down in everyone's hurry to get down the steps...and this person got an infection of her leg as a result and had to be hospitalized later on during our trip to Alaska. Memory fails me as to at what point she returned to the US, but she was not able to resume traveling with us. That was unfortunate. It was an absolutely beautiful cruise in the Inside Passageway and I still have many lovely photos that bring back fond memories of the trip. Someday I'd like to go again, but I understand that the Sundancer now is defunct! Anybody remember traveling on the Sundancer during June 23-25, 1984 all the way up to Skagway. Hopefully, next time, there will be no incidents!
