We thought about Butchart Gardens but not enough time. Hear it is beautiful but we really enjoyed our walk into Victoria. Since it's been almost 20 years you are due a return trip to Alaska. That's how long it was for us between trips. I hope on your next one you pick one that includes Skagway as one of the stops. The only Alaskan port we have enjoyed as much was on our last Alaska cruise we stopped at Sitka and really liked that it as well.
