Coming to the NW for an Alaska Cruise?

I assume you have the Northwest Classics bookmark list. That will get you a number of caches to do around the Seattle area. Unfortunately you leave on a Friday. The Lily Pad is open for cachers to visit on Friday afternoons.

 

I don't know about Tracey Arm, but it would not hurt to have that EC loaded just in case you are able to do what is needed.

 

In Juneau, so plan on taking the tramway up the hill. There are a few up there and you have some great views. The closest cache to the top of the tramway is The Caretaker so you can start your search with that one. There are two traditional caches up there along with one EC. I did find this bookmark for caches near the ship terminal in Skagway.

I'm glad I found this thread. We decided to take the Alaska cruise from Seattle next year in July 2012 and I want to start finding out what is available. We recently did a cruise to Bermuda and while others were spending hundreds of dollars on over priced shore excursions, wee had more fun caching the Island.

We're also booked for Alaska in July 2012. Are you sailing Holland America by chance?

The wife and I are on the inside passage cruise leaving Vancouver on the 9th May. Will be going into Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and down the Tracey Arm (looking forward to the Earthcache there!).

 

Have also booked us into visiting the lilypad on Thursday 17th May as we're going to head down to Seattle for a day.

We're planning a one-way cruise from Vancouver to Seward and then spending a week with family in Anchorage. This will be June/July of 2014.

 

I'll be checking the links that have been posted here already, but would like some feedback on spots to hit around Anchorage.

 

Our ship will be Radiance of the Seas with Geocaching Cruise Adventures. Leaves June 27.

I'll be cruising the Inside Passage from Seattle to Scagway and back with a stop in Victoria the second week of September. Looking forward to the trip. This will be my first trip to Alaska, but not my first cruise.

 

I've looked at the caches in each port, and will attempt to get a couple at each stop. I will load the GPS just before my trip to make sure I have the latest info. I also plan to visit the Frog on Friday afternoon before my cruise.

 

Thanks for posting this sticky. I'll put it on my watchlist and keep checking back before I go.

We are coming to Alaska on a cruise June 28 - July 5th. We will be on the Norwegian Jewel and making stops at Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria, Canada. I've been mulling over the idea of renting a car at each port to catch some caches. Is this a good idea or not necessary?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Shirley

Renting a car will get you to more caches, but if you are just wanting to get one or two in each port, renting a car is not necessary.
