This was out last stop on our Inside Passage cruise. It was nice strolling the shops - we didn't find any bargains but and the trinkets were the same as we found in Juneau and Ketchikan, but the folks were nice and the weather was spectacular!

Skagway is not worth the visit IMHO. Go on a tour or rest. It just had nothing to offer that I wanted to see. It's like a phony mall made to look like a town. but the Red Onion Saloon didn't have the charm I was seeking. You can stretch your legs there, So I don't get the 5 star... More

Even though it is mainly jewelry shops and T-shirt stores, (as is every stop on the cruise) there are still a couple of locally owned spots to spend your money and... More

Stopped here on our Princess Cruise. This town was so small and had so many people from cruise ships that you could not see to much. Small just about sums it up.

Plenty of shops and "waterholes" to visit and explore. Everything is within walking distance and it's where everyone hangs out.
