Take the White Pass Railway train up the mountain in Skagway!! Glorious!

Wasn't White Pass the mountain trail where the prospectors climbed to go to the Klondike in the 1890s. I heard it was a very tough hike. Many didn't make it.

have you ever served on a cruise ship in a staff position?

I think so, but the narrow gauge train is OPEN AIR and a really cool ride and at the top are small glaciers with AQUA BLUE water....FAB!

I've been on over 85 cruises and EVERY STAFF MEMBER, but ONE on a Princess ship decades ago, have been super friendly and they seem QUITE happy!! we see the same ones over and over and are friends with some of them. I have NEVER heard one complaint from HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS that we have met! I've even talked to some of their wives and kids on the phone back home when I go by and they are talking to them, they put them on......they will also bring over their wives or girlfriends or boyfriends on the ship to meet us, and not ONE seem UNHAPPY!!

They work hard, but they get paid much more than they would back home!

You cannot compare being QUARANTINED and not let into a PORT the same as the normal working!!

PLEASE DON'T EVER CRUISE....it's only for people who want to have fun and be NICE to people they meet.

Only US corporations paying US corporate tax. No flagged vessels of any non-US country can be included.

They already got money from the government.

No money for mon-US flagged ships or non-US based corporations. Any company with their tax base outside of the US in places like Bermuda and the like get nothing.
