Sastoks Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 This will be our first cruise! I'm bummed that we will not be stopping in Skagway anymore. Our family was looking forward to the White Pass Railroad. Anyone else sailing with us? WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Z Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 My family of 4 will be on the ship too! We've been looking forward to this cruise for a long time (it's our 30th-anniversary gift to ourselves). We were also really looking forward to Skagway as a highlight of the trip too. Now that we are going to Icy Strait Point/Hoonah instead, I'm not sure what we'll do there other than perhaps do some hiking. We did take Matt's advice though to get as early a boarding time as possible. I had to stay up until 1 AM to do it, but by doing that, our boarding time is 10:30, so we'll have more time to enjoy the ship on our first day. (h/t to Matt for the advice!)

SohomommaX5 Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 Yes! Bummed about missing the Yukon Train experience… it’s a wonderful ride through magnificent country… But going to Icy Point will be ok too… it’s a truly beautiful little village created ( and owned) by the native tribes… there’s plenty to see and do… one of the best locations for whale watching… the village has assorted handcrafted wares, a museum, lots of trails and restaurants( a few!) offering the best catch of the day!Guaranteed fresh… and it’s just .5 miles from the town of HOONAH. it’s unfortunate to miss Skagway. howeverSAFTEY FIRST… the rock slides and precarious conditions, especially for a large ship, make our stop a true adventure! and, the village has a “teeny tiny “ Salvation Army… I plan on bringing a bag of donations! HAPPY CRUISING!🛳⛴️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have much preferred to substitute for Ketchikan instead of Icy Strait Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddCruse Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hey y'all! Excited for our trip! This is only my second cruise ever and I have a toddler with me so I don't have any firm excursion trips planned. Any advice for port days without an itinerary? Is it worth it to just wander around or would it be just as fun to enjoy the ship? We're not big outdoors people... WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlasmom Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I’ve been looking for the Zip Liner excursion at Icy Strait Point (Hoonah). My cruise on Quantum isn’t until August. Has it been offered on your Cruise Planner yet? Thanks. Enjoy your trip to Alaska! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosieD Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Have a great cruise… Hoping a cruise compass for the Quantum Alaska will be posted. Would love to review it before we sail in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
