SEATTLE'S
SPACE NEEDLE is world
famous for its views of
the Emerald City and Mt.
Rainer. Enjoy dinner while
looking upon and circling
the most educated

of the Butchart Gardens.
The ship will stop
all day in Victoria. Visitors

FUN & FITNESS Travel
Club invites
you to cruise the incredible
Inside Passage of Alaska
next fall. Early September
is Alaska's driest,
warmest season.
|
|
FITNESS HOST
Jim Seeley leads water exercises
in the ship's indoor heated
pool. Classes are held each
morning before guests go ashore
for their excursions. Plenty
of exercise keeps everyone
fit while they cruise.
|
|
DANCE
LESSONS practiced in the
late afternoon mean club
members can be more sure
of themselves when they
go out again to dance at
night. The ship will have
a wide selection of dance
clubs. Disco
anyone?
|
|
NOODLES,
WATER SAFETY BELTS
and music are all
provided by the FUN & FITNESS Travel
Club when
guests cruise together.
Fitness Host Joyce
Doucette of Points,
W. VA enjoys applying
yoga techniques to
water exercises. "Water
is always excellent
for
exercise,"
she says. "It
allows you to exercise
without hurting.
And the less it hurts
the more exercise
you will do." Yoga
classes are also
held in addition
to walking and dancing
sessions.

FUN & FITNESS Travel
Club members
like to learn.
For example, Jefferson
Randolph "Soapy"
Smith was a big-time
con man who moved
to Alaska during
the Klondike Gold
Rush to take advantage
of naive
prospectors. His
most notorious con
job was opening up
a bogus telegraph
office with poles
and wires stretched
out back into the
forest. Lonely,
homesick miners would
come into his telegraph
office and pay their
last $5 to send a
telegram home. Smith
would alert them
the next day their
telegram had been
answered by family
members who needed
money immediately.
When the poor miners
gave up their absolute
last dollars to send
home Smith would
keep the funds for
himself. This story
and more, like the
one about who
really built the
world famous White
Pass Railway through
Alaska, make a cruise
vacation up to the
top of America an
unforgettable travel
adventure.
|
|
FUN & FITNESS Travel
Club members
can spend a
day in Skagway
when they cruise
to Alaska. A favorite
spot to visit is
the Red Onion Saloon
where guests can
enjoy drinks, have
lunch and learn
how during the
Klondike Gold Rush
Days there was
more than one way
to "get
rich."
The ladies most
highly sought after
in Skagway had
rooms in the Red
Onion where
they could entertain
their favorite
guests in private
for as long as
they wanted. Ladies
newly arrived to
Skagway had to
carry their own
half-bed suitcases.
This made it easier
for the more ambitious
working girls because
immediately upon
agreeing on
a price they
and their clients
could literally
"get down to
business"
wherever they happened
to be. Alaska in
the late 1800s had
many "new
entrepreneurs" starting
out. Some goods
and services were
worth their weight
in gold, as many
enterprising ladies
found out.
