In Skagway - the best brewery we have found is the Skagway Brewing Company. They open early, and usually within 10 to 15 minutes of opening there is a line. We always get there early on cruise days!

And really - Seward is very nice. We are going to stay there a few days before we get on our cruise - tons to do there. This is where we took our boat tour two years ago and say amazing glaciers up close, and had the orca's come over and play with our boat. DH got it all on video! This is one of the reasons we are doing southbound. We plan to fly into Anchorage and then take the Alaska Railroad down to Seward. That route is so beautiful!!!
