Skagway is one of my favourite ports. History was not a favourite topic in school. But taking the Alaska cruise brings history alive. Skagway offers so many wonderful tours. One of my favourite is the bus tour that takes you to Car cross and Lake Bennett. The scenery is beautiful. I also have done the float trip to see the eagle preserve, this trip combined a flight seeing trip to Haines. So you got the opportunity to see other glaciers and waterfalls you would not see from the water.
Hi Norman, Thank you very much for taking the time to comment and let us know about your experiences. I made a note to look for those excursions next time we go and I’m sure lots of other people will too. Thank you for watching! We are glad to have you here with us!
Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I am excited you have a cruise to Alaska booked. Thank you for following along!
Love your videos! If I see you on the ship, I'll say hi. =) On our last trip to Alaska, our ship stopped in Haines instead of Skagway. I was kind of disappointed about it because I was looking forward to the White Rail Pass again. We considered the boat from Haines to Skagway, but it was sold out. (There were also numerous ships in Skagway that day, which would have made it very crowded.) One of the girls said, "Why don't you rent a car next door? We have some gorgeous drives around here." So that's what we did. We rented a car and drove all around Haines. Haines was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! And it was so nice to be alone, just the two of us, taking in all the surrounding beauty. My husband said it was his favorite day of our trip. You will LOVE Haines. So pretty!!!!
Thank you Alexis. I really appreciate your comment about Haines and what a wonderful time you had there. Hopefully our day there will turn out to be as nice as yours! I hope I get to meet you. :)
I don’t know that there is a big price difference. Either is okay for the cruise. The antigen results come back much faster. Most states have free testing available. Maybe I do a video on how to find free testing sites. Thank you so much for watching!
We just got back from our Alaskan Princess cruise. We received a one page front and back Patter everyday. They are repairing a bridge along the White Pass rail so it is shortened by about 20 minutes you won’t go all the way up the mountain.
Thank you so much for the update!!! Did you have to ask your cabin steward for the Patter or did he/she just bring it? I saw on the Princess website you could ask your steward for the paper copy. I really appreciate your update on the bridge along the White Pass railway. I'll mention that in the video I'm putting up this evening.
@@LetsGoTravelTips we did not ask for the Patter. It was delivered each day while we were out. I loved it! The app was difficult to navigate at times - I’m just old school and like to have paper version. Lol.
I apologize but I don't have any suggestions for Skagway on that. Skagway does have a lot of shops so look around and I think you will find many wonderful artisan souvenirs.
QUESTION: I’m going on the railway with my aunt who is a little hard of hearing. Where on the train would you suggest to sit. Closer to the front or middle or doesn’t really matter speakers are just as loud throughout? Thanks 🙏
I would say try to sit towards the front. The first time we did it, we got in the car with the tour guide and it was extra fun and she told us even more than the regular part she put over the intercom system. Otherwise, just try to get a car that is not quite as crowded so your aunt will be able to hear. I hope you have the best time.
I am so glad we found you
I am so glad my wife found you. She said you are the best out there. Thanks. Stay safe and stay well

Wow very informative. Thank you for that information.
The White Pass Railway was very enjoyable. I would recommend it to everyone.
I saved the Haines Odyssey in my wish list for Alaska. I'm scheduled to go July 2022. I'm enjoying following your trip plans. Thank you!

Great update
Should we get a PCR or antigen test for the Alaska cruise? What's more money saving ?
I don’t know that there is a big price difference. Either is okay for the cruise. The antigen results come back much faster. Most states have free testing available. Maybe I do a video on how to find free testing sites. Thank you so much for watching!

Do you have any tips for what stores in Skagway offer local artisan souvenirs?
