We did an inside passage Princess cruise (opposite direction) - I imagine HA is similar. We are not nightlife people, and although we enjoy a social drink, we did not drink on the cruise (our teenage kids were with us). We just had a nice time hanging out, watching wildlife and nature. I highly recommend checking out the other CC that has forums for cruisers. We booked excursions at each stop, but none was through the ship. People on the forums had fabulous suggestions, and we took their advice for a rental car land trip into Yukon Territory, sea kayaking, a helicopter trip to Mendenhall Glacier.
