    On the Pre we had lots of fun exploring the on our own (the first and second afternoons) and yesterday we had a great walking tour. There are large numbers of restaurants (especially if you like sea food) and numerous places that sell gelato.

    We had planned the Denali extension when we first scheduled this cruise, but when we hit a pandemic extension we couldn't get the Denali extension so we are going on the Pristine Alaska Extension (which does visit Denali Park Village).
