Holland America visits Haines in lieu of Skagway every other week. There are numerous museums, shops, and places of interest. You will be told that the bus pickups are every 15 minutes. Don't depend on it as the drivers don't seem to care for schedules as they chat with riders at the expense of those waiting along the route. This is a laid back town so don't be in a hurry. We waited for 45 minutes and gave up, walking back to the ship. It was a rare hot day so we didn't venture back into town after lunch.

Did have a sample at the local craft brewery, but the imperial stout surprisingly had no "nose" and the taste was unusually understated. It was probably the last of their supply as this type of craft beer is usually a winter offering. That said, they did themselves and their guests a disservice by pouring it. Next time, we'll take a shuttle to Skagway if Haines is on the docket.
