You practically have to win the lottery to afford anything there now, especially along Spring Creek. I’ve always wanted to fish Alaska, but I don’t think I’m in good enough shape to do it anymore. My wife wants to take me on a cruse there but I would want to fish.
I’ll bet if you go out with a guide you’ll do fine. They offer all kinds of excursions. There is so much to do and see there. Whale watching is fun. Many times we watch them from the ship pulling out of port.
Skagway is my favorite port city. The Red Onion Saloon is a bit of history that is eye opening. I found out that Skagway had electricity before New York City! By all means treat yourself and your wife to that cruise. You will Love It! We’ve done it several times and will do it again.
