Background
Your author: 40-something, good-looking, father of three, husband of one. Eleven of us (three families). First time to Alaska. First time on Princess; first time on Golden Princess. Second and third-time cruisers. This family is not a family of "shoppers." In fact, I'd guess that most of us are allergic to shopping. Especially me. So if you want a review of the shopping, skip this review and move on.
