Anyone just returned from Dawn Princes Alaska Cruise???

I also posted this on the Princess board. If you have already read that posting..Thank you.


My wife and I are taking this cruise on Monday the 24th.

Any advice, high or lowlights would be appreciated.

We are still curious as to the onboard interior ship temperatures. Do you need long sleeve shirts or will short sleeve do?

Also we have planned the following excursions:

City tour in Ketchikan though ship. It looks like you could walk to all the sites on the tour, but my Dad is going with us (he's 76) and can't walk more than a half mile at a time.

Juneau: Northstar Treking Helicopter and Galcier tour.(Independent).

Skagway: White Pass railroad in AM (through ship).

Any other tours anyone would reccomend or any comments on the above? We expect to explore the ports the rest of the time we are in port.

This is our 7th cruise, but first to a cold/cool weather destination. We are also taking a six-day Princess land tour (Copper River/Fairbanks/Denali/Mt/ Mckinley) after our cruise so we have time to do some other excursions at that time.

Thank you all in advance for what I know will again be very helpful advice.
