8-29-07 Prince Rupert

Next port of call was Prince Rupert, Canada. I thought it odd that an Alaska cruise went to a Canada port, but later found out if a foreign owned cruise starts in the USA, it has to port in a foreign country. I don't think I would take another cruise that ports in Prince Rupert. It was struggling to make it as a cruise port, but really didn't have much to offer us. There were lots of excursions that offered fish bar b qs or lumber jack competitions, but we didn't want to go to either.

 We did walk to the nearby Safeway (had a Frito craving)

  and toured a little museum (I think it was $5@ admittance fee). It was ok, but small.

some of the museum pieces

 After checking out the museum, we headed back to the ship. This statue helped us find it.

 Good bye Prince Rupert

 back to the inside passage

 and dinner

 and the show "Cats".  I remember Dad tearing up when he'd here "memories" shortly after Mom died.  Hope this didn't bring back sad memories.

 One more day of our cruise.
