Very good cabin with unobstructed view. My wife like the bathtub (and shower) combination. We spent a fair amount of time on the balcony, especially when in glacier bay.

Took a city bus and walked 1.5 miles to the park visitor center. The center was very busy but we took the nugget falls (not nugget creek) trail to the falls and that was very scenic.
The whole trip only cost $18 for both of us.  If you have the time and don't mind waling this was a good option. The bus was very busy however

I live close to Vancouver.  If you only have a day here, walk or bike around Stanley Park. (10 kilometers)   This is the best thing to do in Vancouver.

Vancouver

In my opinion this a must see in Alaska, Don't take a cruise that does not offer this option.  This was not an excursion but the whole ship goes into the bay (a national park) and spends the day cruising.  I found the pea soup on deck to be a nice touch (I am dutch and love dutch pea soup)

Glacier Bay

Purchased this directly and took the railway from town. This was a round trip and very scenic

Skagway

did the following excursion: https://www.seawindaviation.com/services/misty-fjords-tour/ Was great and very informative and scenic.  We landed in Misty fjords and was in awe of the beautiful Scenery.  No animal sighting unfortunately

Show was well done. Not very authentic however. More of a Disneyland show than an alaska show. It was entertaining however

HA is one of the few that sails into Glacier Bay, which is a highlight of the cruise.i would not cruise to Alaska without going to Glacier Bay.
