My husband and I did the Inside passage 31 yrs ago on Princess Lines. Will be interesting to see the changes that have occurred since 1979 during the port visits.
Back then the narrow gauge went from Skagway to Whitehorse. We were stuck on the train for 4 hours due to a rock slide and missed the moose stew lunch midway up. By the time we arrived in Skagway we had also missed the "Frantic Follies" performance. We did catch their show 2 yrs ago on a road trip to Fairbanks - Fantastic! The initials of the White Pass & Yukon Railway - WP&YK - are referred to as "Wait Patiently & You'll Ride" . How true!
In regard to Skagway, we had also read the book "Klondike" before the trip. The characters during the Gold Rush , like Soapy Smith, seemed to come alive. Would recommend reading the book
