Alaskan cruise with young kids
 

Hello!
We booked a huge family reunion on a cruise this summer. The ports we're stopping at are Icy Point, Juno, Skagway, and Ketchikan. We'd love to save money and not book the excursions through the cruise line (knowing that it's slightly more risky this way) or even just explore on our own as a family. My boys are 5 and 7, and fairly active (they love to hike, ride bikes, etc).
Does anyone have any 'must do' things at those ports? Thanks!

There is a huge thread on this.
