excellent  clean well  serviced and great staff

private hire trip of city with independent guide

was not a port of call only from ship but the ship visit was excellent and well worth the time spent there

Glacier Bay

just a town with retail shops with little value but in fairness we did not take a tour

Ketchikan

and the local bus tour in Skagway is excellent 

of shore shopping  is an experience , the cruise ship will be  making suggestions re certain outlets and do tell you up front re commissions paid to ship, and that shops pay to be on programme again  have your ideas in your own mind before you go so as to check for value 

we did acquire a watch at a store not mentioned by cruise liner at great value , so shop around , as the outlets told us they follow the cruise ships 

the experience of the glaciers is worth theyou possibly would get same value in most cities , while they had end of season sales and there was a few bargains , overall shopping on board make up your mind on value against your own  home prices 

entertainment  was excellent  ,   but we did not go to the b b show so cant comment on same 

front office staff very helpful and friendly .
