The food and drink are adequate on the ferry but we soon tired of too much butter and salt. Since you have access to your camper every few hours, it would be possible to keep some items in an ice chest. All propane systems are off so keeping the refrigerator on is out unless you have batteries that last 3 days. It would have been a good test but we didn’t try it. Ice packs would probably get you through.They do show movies on board primarily for the children who become bored within the first 15 minutes. They roam the ferry in Road Warrior type gangs, looking for something to do and play grab-a** for the next 67 hours. Their parents seem to disappear for the voyage only to show up should security nabs their children for misbehaving. |

You can also get off the boat at scheduled stops although there is barely time to accomplish anything. We called the |

| Northern Lights Restaurant, while docking in Petersburg to order non-ferry food. We grabbed a cab to go there onlyto find out just before we arrived someone had taken our take out! They prepared another order for us while I had to almost physically restrain cab from leaving as he had 5 other calls. Half hour later, minus a big tip for the cab, we are back in our cabin with a great meal (at least by ferry standards). |

| The ferry was well worth it. The staff were great, facilities great - we even had some very low band width wireless capabilities.The scenery was spectacular. We saw whales and eagles, mountains and waterfalls, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, slept through Juneau and landed at Haines. |
