We are sailing same route in Sept 2024 but on HAL. We are also booked on train ride. Last time we did it was 2000 so looking forward to see if anything changed. Looking forward to your other videos on this journey. Safe sailings.
Kind of ironic that the narrow guage trains are both more likely to tip over and yet more stable! At higher speeds they flip easily so speeds are kept around 25 to 35 mph usually, but they can make tighter turns than the standard track trains and handle uneven and mountainous areas better! (My cousin works for Amtrak, I'm not like Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory! LOL!)
The name Skagway reminds me of the nasty ‘ss term ‘skintag’. There’s a dude in my hood named that. For some reason I presume it’s the same guy who panhandles the most and is one of the craziest seeming people in the area!

Thanks for watching. Alaska Cruises are always a good time
Great job I was in Skagway in June and did the train ride and really enjoyed it.
Thank you! It's one of the best excursions!
I went to Alaska in 2016. Skagway is the best!!!
Been there! It was great fun and we did the white pass train ride too! We went in August 2007 on our cruise to Alaska. Inside passage to Alaska.
Great vlog. Alaska is gorgeous.
we rode that train All the way to Whitehorse. Best pictures are from the bridges you cross.
Love the video. If you have video from glacier bay national park, I would love to see it as well!
Skagway felt to be the most Alaskan stop. As in what get shown in tv shows set in Alaska. Most everywhere else felt overly touristy.
We think that we might have been on the exact same cruise as you! We hope you both had a blast!

I took that train ride in '97, wish I could remember how much it cost then because it sure wasn't 150.00! Ouch!
