Was on the 5B RCI Cruisetour and Radiance of the Seas 7/22-7/29. Below are the vendors that we used. Most were booked in 2019 for the original July 2020 cruise and then just shifted deposits to new dates in 2021 and finally 2022. All were great at emails and communication and verified each excursion a few days before.
Would highly recommend all of them:

I’ll second the YWCA. We stayed 1 night post cruise last month and the USD conversion was $150 for the night in double bed private bath room. This was based on martincath and others recommendations going back to 2019.
Nice room, not plush but perfectly fine. A/C worked extremely well (it was over 90 degrees out) and friendly staff. Very walkable to Canada Place, downtown and Gastown - the areas that we ventured.
ivwas out front desk and another guest was asking for place settings and pots which they provided.
highly recommend

Can you do me a favor? We are booked for the 5B tour in July. I found a trip report from someone a few years ago who posted the exact intinerary with bag pull times, etc. this enabled me to book private excursions during the land tour.
Since you’re going in May can you please post your itinerary when you get it? This way I can make sure my excursion times will still work.
Thanks snd enjoy!
btw - thanks to all. The trip reports helped in planning our cruise!
RCI 5B Precruise Tour Itinerary
in Alaska
Posted
Took the RCI 5B from 7/17 - 7/22 and then boarded the Radiance of the Seas. Royal provides almost no information about the precruise itinerary. When I was planning the original 2020 cruise booked in November 2018 I relied on a previous review on Cruise Critic from someone who took the 5B tour and posted their itinerary. This enabled me to book my own private excursions and not rely on the limited list that RCI had.
Attached are my 5B itinerary with times as well as the RCI excursion list that was provided on the first night of the cruisetour. I had hoped to do an extensive review but life has intruded. Will try to add more to this but ask me any questions. I did a previous topic on the vendors that we took.
