Can only speak to The Secret River excursion. We just did this on the April 14th sailing and LOVED it! Excellent excursion and one we would do again. We are an adventurous family (me, hubby and two boys ages 10 and 8) and it was full of adventure and beauty... definately an awesome...

We went last year for a 10 day trip over Thanksgiving. We specifically planned our water park day on Thanksgiving so as to avoid larger crowds at the other parks. It was a FANTASTIC day! Lines were at a minimum and we had such a great time! Were there at opening and spent the whole day...

We were in Alaska on the June 14th. Wish I had brought more capri's, and lightweight long sleeve t-shirts for me. My kids are SUPER skinny (wish I had that problem) and they got cold much easier than my husband and me. I had only packed one pair of long pants for them and wish I had at least...

There WERE mosquitos when we were at Taku (June 18th). The Lodge did have bug spray available for people to use (it was on a shelf on the front porch of the main lodge). I hope you have fun... Taku was a favorite part of our trip for ALL of us (me, hubby, 7yo son and 9yo son). We'd do it...

Called all my credit card companies prior to my June 14th Alaska cruise to let them know I'd be in Vancouver for a few days and then in Alaska. Visa charges a 3% exchange fee for anything you charge and Amer Xpress charges a 2.75% exchange fee. I brought both. Used my Amer Xpress in most...

My kids were not bored but it was only about a 30 minute nature walk. Our guide showed us mud that is similar to quick sand (kids loved that) and she let the kids crawl into a "cave" that is made by huge tree roots (they loved that part too). We also saw two huge banana slugs (about the size...

We asked the concierge about this as my husband had seen one advertised. They USED to have one there but no longer do. We did go to Science World despite the many bad reviews we had read. We LOVED the Imax show there (it was about Hubble and is kind of a cross between an Imax and a...

All of these restaurants were within walking distance. Another great restaurant that is very close (and we liked it so much we ate dinner there twice) was "Steamworks". It is in Gastown and everybody knows it (we had the young kids who ran the bike rental recommend it and we overheard some...

Veras Burgers and White Spot were not longer than one mile each way. Ask the Concierge the best route to take- they were very helpful for us. We like to walk and it is all in the downtown area with lots of other walkers and well timed streetlights/crosswalks.I believe the SkyTrain is...

We walked and it was just fine. I think we took a longer route than necessary so I'd call the hotel before hand and ask specifically the easiest way to walk. But even taking the "long-cut", it was manageable with our luggage (all our luggage has wheels which made it very easy).

We loved all our excursions! Would recommend them all! Skagway: Takshanuk Mountain Trail by 4x4: Took a bus for a whooping 3 minutes to a ferry. Took a beautiful ferry ride from Skagway to Haines (40 minutes, narrated and bathrooms on board; saw a whale and eagles and waterfalls on the...

A special "thank you" to Lollipop's Mom for all her wonderful advice! Back from the June 14th Alaska Cruise with a three day stay in Vancouver pre cruise and a one day stay post. We ate at White Spot and Veras Burgers (both recommended by her) and they were perfect for our family! We flew...

You will be fine in your Uggs. Wear what is comfortable for you. I saw a few women wearing them on our June 14th Alaska cruise. A lot of them wore them with leggings and a longer shirt, sweater or jacket and they looked cute. I was fine in athletic shoes or my nice Merrell hiking shoes...

Hi! Just back from the June 14th Alaska Cruise (had a woooooonderful time)! My husband and I did the mojito tasting. It was so much fun! It was held on an At Sea day. It was $15 per person. Ours was held up in the Outlook Cafe. There were 11 people and the bartender who did ours was...

Anyone been on the: Skagway: Takshanuk 4x4 Mountain Trail? Juneau: Taku Lodge Flight and Feast? Ketchikan: Canoe and Rainforest Adventure? Also- How did you all come up with the tips for your excursion guides? Do you do it based on price? Per person? Per family? Thanks!

thank you and... thank you! I sincerely appreciate all the great advice- my stress level has been drastically decreased!

Beau-ti-ful.

Help! Really struggling with what kind of clothes to pack for the kids (ages 7 and 9) for the June 14th Alaska cruise?! Shorts? Sweats? Jeans? Short sleeves? Long sleeves? Between packing for the excursions we are taking (adventurous, outdoors, potentially in the rain) and the dinner...

We did our honeymoon (way back in 1999) as a Land/Sea package. We did 4 days at WDW and a 3 day cruise. It was so wonderful and so perfect that we scrimped and saved every extra penny we had to go back and do the exact same trip a little over a year later. It was our honeymoon that made us...
