Since NCL booked me on that great 11:45pm flight, I have the entire day to kill in Vancouver with no real plan. I need luggage storage and a way to get around town.

Good morning from Vancouver! Today is debarkation day. It was really hard to get into the Palace for breakfast. The line to get off of the ship goes right in front of it.

The White Pass Scenic Railroad is an excursion I’ve heard you have to do in Skagway. There are several different variations of this tour. You go back the same way you came so I’ve definitely heard some people recommend doing a different tour where you take the train one…

Good morning! We just left Tracy Arm Fjord and are heading to Juneau. I got my coffee downstairs at Starbucks. There has really been no line for coffee this week.
Here is today’s schedule of events.
After coffee I grabbed a couple of screwdrivers from O’Sheehans to take to breakfast.
They have…

I was able to get a Gold Belt Tram ticket for free using the $50 off of excursions portion of NCL’s “Free At Sea” promotion. The tram is extremely easy to get to. Most ships dock right out in front of it. In this case NCL was docked farther…
