Capt. Rob:
"I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I took your Lighthouse, Totems, and Eagles tour this past June. It was very enjoyable and we consider it to have been one of the best tours that we took on our cruise. We had shore excursions at every port of call so we had plenty of things to compare with your product."
Thanks,

Hello,
"I just wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed your tour on June 3, 2005. I was on the morning cruise with you. Your boat was both very comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and always ready to answer questions.
I have visited Ketchikan on each of my 8 cruises to Alaska. I have taken many enjoyable shore excursions on those cruises, but I can say I enjoyed your excursion the best.
It was very entertaining and educational. It also provided the BEST bald eagle viewing that I have experienced while in Alaska. The cruise past Totem Bight State Park was enjoyable, as was viewing the many homes along the way and learning a little about them.
I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR EXCURSION TO ANYONE VISITING KETCHIKAN. IT IS WELL WORTH THE COST, AND ANYONE TAKING THIS EXCURSION WILL NOT REGRET IT."
Thank You,

We just wanted to thank you for a great excursion August 11, 2008. The trip was quite memorable and is listed by my daughter as her favorite thing we did in all our cruise to Alaska. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and had a great time. A special thank you to Captain Bob who paid extra attention to my daughter, Elizabeth, and taught her to be his “Radar Operator”. She had such a great time and this attention meant a lot to her (and me). She found it great fun that she could return the favor and teach him something new: a new word: Humongo (as in: that cable ship was Humongo!).
Thank you again.
I’ve enclosed pictures (Elizabeth’s hand-picked favorites!)

My husband and I went on your excursion about 2 weeks ago while on our Alaskan cruise, and we are writing to say that we had the BEST time! Not only for all the infromation that was provided for what we were viewing, but there were eagles in ABUNDANCE! More than we have ever seen at one time-especially here in New York! Your crew was outstanding-our favorite was Princess!!! And I have made the salmon dip that you served on board, and people just can't get enough of it!!! We both agree that this was by far, the best shore excursion we experienced during our cruise! If we should ever make our way back to Ketchikan, we will definitely make it a point to come back and visit you all again!!! And we will most certainly let any friends or other Princess cruisers know that your tour is the way to go!!!! Thanks again!!!

My name is Dennis Gagnon. I am a detective with the Kern County Sheriff's Office in southern California.
In early May of 2010, my family (all law enforcement) and, I had the good fortune to attend your boat tour. We were on board the Norwegian Star cruse ship. Having been on several cruse ships, I can honestly say our eight day trip was...forgettable. With the exception of the most memorable time we spent with you and your most excellent, knowledgeable and accommodating crew. In hind sight, you saved our trip and elevated it to a memorable experience.
My family and I live in the Mojave desert, so the sights you showed us are "special", "unique", "exciting", etc, etc. It seems every time we (my family and I) get together, we are compelled to talk about our wonderful morning with you. Thank you so much for that. It was an honor for us all, to be participants in the Guard Island Light House Foundation. Honestly...they should be very proud of your salesmanship.
Well...cutting to the chase, my family and I have a few gifts we would like to send "you" from the desert. May I please have your address, (personal or business) so we can send these gifts to you. Again, our sincerest thanks and gratitude....you WILL see us again."
