Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. What may work is if you take a taxi in the morning and ask for your driver's number to call when you need to return back, it might work, but of course also depends on how many other ships are in port that day. You could also take the public bus which lets off across the highway but it is a bit of a walk downhill to the dock, so depends on your mobility. I know that the owner at tlingittours at gmail dot com has a sister who is a taxi driver, if you want to email them maybe?
  2. So, this was very surprising and odd to me last spring on our cruise. Public toilets, including in restaurants, very few actual have toilet seats, like we are used to in the US. At least 4-5 places, including a nice restaurant the toilets are just toilets, no seats. Very odd. Bring tissues, public toilets usually ran out especially with large tour groups.
  3. Highly recommend Spain Day Tours, took a similar cruise last year and we used them for 3 tours, fabulous communication, great drivers and guides, excellent prices/policies. For Gibraltar, definitely use Inside Out Rock Tours and tell Carl Lisa H from NJ says hello, my BEST tour ever, in the pouring rain!!

    Ahhh! Help!

    For car rentals, definitely check how many ships are in port that day - and call early to ask about how likely they are to be booked up closer to the date in port.

    Juneau - All Tours - Juneau Tours and Excursions - Juneau, AK - you could also do the tram up to the top of mountain, beautiful views Skagway - YUKON RAIL & BUS | Chilkoot Charters & Tours Walking tour - highly recommend one of their tours and there is a great walking tour of the town Ketchikan - Totem Bight State Park - best thing in my opinion, but if you are docked downtown there is also the free shuttle loop with museums, Creek Street, and shopping
  7. Skagway walking tour of downtown https://uploads.alaska.org/maps/skagway-walking-tour-map.pdf
  8. Skagway you must do the Yukon Pass - Chilkoot Tours.
  9. Another vote for Glacier Wind, we used them in 2016 and are using them again this July. Juneau - we are going with Juneau Tours for whale watching and glacier combo tour. Ketchikan just doing Totem Bight ourselves.
  10. We are using Juneau Tours, whale watching and glacier combo tour, great customer service! https://www.juneautours.com/all-tours/

    Another thing to consider is how many other ships will be in town that day. There's a lot of information over at Trip Advisor about how there is no infrastructure, steep hike, busy highway to cross, unmarked bus stop etc etc. It's generally advised to not walk to get the Silver Line bus. We are coming in on a day when there is only one other ship docked downtown about 4 hours after we dock, so we should be able to get a taxi quite easily to go to Totem Bight.
  12. Agreed about White Pass & Yukon, definitely book asap. We are going in July 2024 and Tour Option A 7:30 train departure was sold out already as of last week.
  13. I booked them for this tour in July. Had a lovely conversation with one of the owners. Very sweet!
  14. Juneau - All Tours - Juneau Tours and Excursions - Juneau, AK ISP - Glacier Wind Charters Haines - Kroschel Wildlife Center, The Experience - Takshanuk Mountain Trai Sitka - https://visitsitka.org/ - you can totally do it yourself or take a tour, I'm working on this port now. Big things are Fortress of Bears, Raptor Center and Totems at Nat'l Park/Forest Ketchikan - working on it now, very easy to do Totem Bight Park via public bus
