I need help. Maybe someone has done both: but should we do the seaplane over glaciers with the salmon bake or the whale watching tour? I would love to do both...but need to decide. I have heard that the whale watching tour in Juneau can't be compared to the one in Victoria.

We cruised Glacier Bay two years ago on NCL with a 2 year-old and an almost 4 year-old. We liked it so much that we are going back this year and taking the Sawyer Glacier route. Neither of my boys went to the kid's club, but there was still a lot to do to keep them occupied. The staff and crew were very child-friendly. There are some great deals going on now.
Thanks for your reply. We have booked a NCL cruise next year so we are very excited. Did you do any of the excursions with your kids? Any suggestions?

I have finally booked my Alaska cruise, and now have to decide on which excursions to book. So hard. Do any of you know of any tours which include a whale cruise as well as an float plane trip to the glaciers?
If not, will a whale cruise in Victoria be an okay alternative if we choose the float plane and glacier trip in Juneau??

Honestly we chose our ship in Alaska for the itinerary-figured that's really why we are going :-) our son is 20 months and it's pretty adaptable. I did pay extra for a room with a view for nap time- u know ur kiddo and what they need. We dont drop ours off even if a nursery were available but if u like to do adult excursions i know royal has a great nursery (im sure others may too- we typically cruise royal so i know for a fact many of their ships do) royal also has playtimes and a toy check out program. Were doing ncl for alaska because we wanted glacier bay- we leave soon n i can let u know how it goes!
Yes, please do. We are leaning towards NCL as well because of the glacier tour. We don't need a nursery so that will not be a factor when we choose the cruise. Having looked at many of the cruises and itineraries, I think the NCL suits many of our wants and needs. Will read more about Princess before we book.

When is the best time to visit Alaska so we can see animals? My first cruise and also first time in Alaska so want to make sure everything is perfect. I can't wait!!

I am planning a cruise to Alaska next year, and will bring my 2-year-old. We are going to visit family in Seattle so the best alternative would be to take a cruise from Seattle, but I now see that Disney, which probably would be the best alternative, leaves from Vancouver. Is Disney worth it or are there any other companies that cater to small children? We've also looked at Crystal Cruises and NCL. Of land tours we are interested in seeing animal life, naure and Native culture.
And what is the most scenic route; Glacier Bay or Sawyer Glacier? What is the difference between these?
In addition, I try to find out if it is possible to take a round-trip cruise and still get a couple of days at a hotel somewhere in Alaska. Is that possible?
What to do in Juneau? I'm so confused and can't decide.

Do you think I will have time to do both? It would be perfect. A dream come true for me :) I could bring my mom on the seaplane tour and then my boyfriend and little boy on the whale tour. Are the seaplanes and boats far from each other?
