I pack 3 SDLRs - a Canon 7D (8fps fpr wildlife, calving, etc), a Canon 50D, and a Canon XTi for back up. We also have a Canon SX40HS, and usualy at least one waterproof Olympus P&S. For lenses, I carry a Canon 70-200mm IS f/2.8 "L", Canon 18-200mm IS f/4-5.6, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3, and a 1.4x teleextender for the big Sigma, plus sometimes a Canon 50mm f/1.8, Canon 70-300m f/4-5.6 IS, and a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro. I have hundreds of photos in my Alaska trip reviews (1 complete and one in process) if you want to see if it's worth carry the extra firepower:D

Your pictures are AMAZING!!!!

AWESOME review! Love the pics!!!!

Awesome pics and descriptions! Can't wait for more pics...

Thanks

In Ketchikan, we still plan to go to Totem Bight and Potlatch parks via city bus. I could still use some help figuring out the map/schedule, but if I can't figure it out before we go, I will just get off the ship and ask a local for help. I'm just one of those people who likes to know exactly what I'm doing in advance. :o

I would love to know this also....

Any idea if either of these include time at Mendenhall Glacier?

Thanks

First cruise on Princess, first cruise to Alaska, first everything... woo hoo!

I really want to go a whale watching cruise do you recommend?

Alaska's Whales & Mendenhall Glacier Trail or Mendenhall Glacier & Whale Quest?

Looks like the big differences are: size of group, a hike, and nature center?

Any tips? Advice, etc.? Should we book with outside company?

THANKS
