On our 25th anniversary, we rode on Holland America's Veendam for a 10 night land tour/cruise in Alaska. It was a smaller ship, maybe 1000 guests? and I have to say, it was the best trip of my life.
I had never cruised before so that was wonderful, but now that I have, the land tour is what I would do again.It's me, I'm just not a cruising gal
As mentioned, in Juneau there was a great quilt shop, I ended up with a lot of Alaska themed fat quarters
I advise doing a lot of trips that take you on land, to really get a feel for the state.
We purchased their 'wedding vows renewal' package that they held on the ship. It was supposed to be with any other couple that was repeating their, but we were the only ones. It included a dinner at the restaurant on the ship, and an hour long chat with the captain. Nice guy
You're going to have a wonderful time!
Ok, just remembered more:
We rode a helicopter and landed on a glacier, and then whatever they call those planes that land in water, we took a trip on one of those.
Oh, I got a ring with a diamond in the center, and 2 rubies on the side (I got an extremely cheap wedding ring, and no engagement ring - my choice- and this was to replace that)
