Thanks. Sounds like a good must do.  Do they pull up crab pots?

They have demo crab pots. As for the illegal feeding thing - that is a good point. I believe whatever they are doing must be ok - maybe I put it wrong, but my feeling was that everything was done to benefit and not harm the wildlife.

I agree with the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's tour n Ketchikan. Before our trip to Alaska last spring I asked my nephew about his cruise the year before and this tour was his hands down best tour he took. They take you to an area by boat, and as they come up, the eagles start to arrive. They throw out food and the eagles come from all over, grabbing out of the air, flying over the boat close enough to hear their wings, etc. Lots of photo opportunities! Then they start talking about crabbing & fishing, the Deadliest Catch show (which was interesting even if you haven't ever seen it), etc. They show you all types of "sea creatures" that are put back in the water, etc. I highly recommend this tour if your goal is to see eagles (and more).

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I booked our cruise today and the final payment is due in a month. The travelers are my very senior father, my husband and me, and our 3 nearly adult children (one is under 18). We are splitting up between 2 cabins. My father is in good health and has no travel restrictions. I have never bought travel insurance before but for this trip, I want to be able to cancel due to illness or death.

I actually bought a policy through the TA, CSA, but all the reviews I have read are that CSA is horrible. So, I am following the advice on this board about getting quotes from different sites, etc. I have a couple questions that would help me understand what I'm reading. I understand this is not legal advice. Can someone explain the pre-existing conditions part? If my dad had heart issues in the past, and he has some sort of issue in the weeks before the trip which would prevent him from cruising, would the cancellation be covered if I buy the policy before the final payment date?

Also, do we all need trip insurance or just get it for one of the cabins, since we are all "family" members, so if one of us has an event could we use that event to cancel both cabins (say I can't travel due to an unforeseen illness, and my husband has the policy, then he and my dad and my kids and my could all cancel due my illness)?

I guess my biggest concern is if I have to cancel so that's where my focus is.

Anyone know how pre-existing conditions work and who has to have the coverage if we have to cancel?

Anything else that I need to think about?

Thanks!!
