What a great find!  It was our last city we visited on our cruise and we needed to find a place to eat dinner.  Going from place to place that looked good on a Saturday night was a challenge but we walked into Prime and all fit at the bar!  We were…More »

If you ever come to Juneau, you must stop here for some good beer and great service!  It's a definite "must stop" in addition to the other tourist stops in town.

My siblings, my husband, sister's boyfriend and I all went on the "Bike & Brew" excursion…More »

5.0 star rating
  11/8/2010

We simply had to stop in because the smell coming out was so inviting!  The staff was super nice and they wrapped up some fresh caramel corn for us rather than the ones already in the bag (which I'm sure were just as good).  I bought some chocolate…More »

Neighbourhood: Belltown

4.0 star rating

It's true what they say: It's all about location, location, location!

I enjoyed my stay here even though it was only one night.  We stayed here since it was SO CLOSE to the cruise ship area.  We could see the ship from our hotel.  This hotel is…More »

Staff:  Efficient and friendly!

Shopping Success: YES.  We found wine we wanted!

Need t-shirts, artwork, gifts, wooden items, jewerly or knives?  This is your place!

A tourist's dream comes true here with a large selection of items from Alaska.  Prices are affordable and the selection is great.  I'd stop here if you want to bring…More »

17801 International Blvd

(206) 433-5388

4.0 star rating
  11/17/2010

Flying in and out of here for a cruise was easy.  I can't complain about this airport because I didn't have any issues.

Getting taxis for about 10-12 people to get to our hotel was what was great.  We thought we'd have such an issue with all of us and…More »

It's a "must see" if you come to Victoria!  We had limited time in Victoria but we enjoyed walking through this place and the outside was just beautiful.  It's located by the water and if you're coming off of a cruise ship, I would defiantly take a…More »

Category: Lounges

Neighbourhood: Downtown

3.0 star rating
  11/16/2010

We came here because we wanted to have a drink after walking through the market.  This place is a good distance away from the crowded market area and was almost empty until our large group came in.  We spent some time here just hanging out and our…More »

3.0 star rating
  11/11/2010

I'm sure this is a great place for locals to get some nice items but for out of towners looking for some common items it sure wasn't a good fit.

We needed some items before we left on our cruise and they didn't have the medicine we needed or…More »

Category: Seafood

Neighbourhood: Downtown

2.0 star rating
  11/11/2010

I'm not sure why people suggest coming here.  Do they get something if people actually go here?

Reasons to avoid:
1)  Not worth the hype.
2)  Avoid here if you do not like touristy places.
3)  Meal was overcooked and the fish was dry.
4)  Very crowded and…More »

We tried going in here for a drink during our time in downtown Skagway.  It was one of the "things to see" in town and we went in and were told that the wait would be an hour.  Also the person who told us that was not very nice and made us leave even…More »
