We are booked on an Oceania cruise docking in Wrangell on the 19th June 2016. We are looking at booking the Anan bear watching tour. Is there a likelihood of seeing bears this early? One site I saw said the Bears start feeding on the salmon from July!

If there is little chance of seeing bears I really don't want to spend the money and not see any bears.

Hoping someone can shed some light.

Thanks Lisa Aussie.

I've been reading quite a few forums regarding the best time of year to go to Alaska. We have just booked today for June 16, 2016. We are flexible when we can travel. We really want to see lots of wild life but will detest lining up or hustling and bustling with lots of other people. We are visiting Alaska as a special wilderness trip. What's everyone's opinion as to the best time of year to to visit? We have chosen a small cruise liner so as to avoid crowds.

Thanks for any help

Excellent . Thanks for your prompt reply. Taxi it is. :)

Hi just wondering what is the situation re Taxis to the airport when we dock back into Miami on the last day. Are taxis plentiful? is there a shuttle service going back to the airport? Should we pre book a car to get us to the airport?

We have a conx back that same day to NYC.

Just wondering what you all suggest as must do shore excursions.

We are not really into shopping. Happy to see beautiful beaches and snorkeling. Like to see some scenery and love to eat. We are from Australia and have never been on a cruise before.

Our ports of call -

San Juan, Puerto Rico - looking at a 2hr Segway tour.

Charlotte Amalie, St.Thomas?

Philipsburg, St.Maarten?

Looking forward to some expert tips.

Thanks

We are booked on the celebrity reflection cruise departing 5 April 2014. We are 2 Aussies, husband and wife who have never been to Miami. We are flying in the day before the cruise departs. So would like to be in a good area for a bit of sight seeing prior to the cruise. Plus would love some suggestions as to what we should be sight seeing.

Our travel agent has suggested the following hotels.

Mondrian South Beach

Ithaca Hotel South Beach

Victor Hotel South Beach

Hopefully someone can shed some light.

Btw we are 50 something's.

We are booked on celebrity reflection cruise 5 April 2014 to the Caribbean .

We are interested in doing the 2 hour Segway tour in San Juan. We have never cruised before and am wondering if there will be enough time to do the tour that leaves at 4pm. Our ship docks at 3pm. Will that give us enough time to get to the 4pm Segway tour? We are traveling in Aqua Suit which gives us priority disembarkation.

Has anyone done the Segway? Reviews all say it is great.

Hoping someone can advise.

Hi my husband and I have never been a cruise before. Our TA has booked us into suit 2118 on celebrity Reflection. Does anyone know if this is in a good position and hopefully quiet. Wondering about the balcony, if shaded or obscured.

Thanks from a newbie.
