joeyillinois Posted February 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Looking at the Volendan schedule. I thought that it would tour Tracy Arns, but says service call 10 - 10:30 a.m. then for same day is Juneau 1 pm - 10 pm. Don't understand what this service call statement means.

CowPrincess Posted February 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2014 There is a ship shore excursion into Tracy Arm, and the "service call" is the catamaran coming to the ship to collect passengers, I think. The catamaran tours Tracy Arm thens take the pax to Juneau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted February 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Bottom line is that you don't get to Tracy Arm unless you buy the excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyillinois Posted February 28, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Got it thanks -- At first I thought it went to both Tracy Arns & Glacier Bay. Then saw the service call and completely thrown. Wonder if the excursion would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowPrincess Posted February 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Budget Queen (a regular poster here who seems to be missing right now) strongly recommends the small-boat tour. Strongly. I recommended it to a friend of mine (who isn't all that much into small boats, Alaska or scenery) and she considers it one of the best days she has EVER had. Ever. We did Tracy Arm on the ship one year and it was spectacular. I'd be on the small boat the next chance I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted February 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I hear good things from whomever has gone on the small boat Tracy Arm excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonvoyagie Posted March 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 1, 2014 SD Mike did it in 12 on the NCL Jewel, I also did a similar excursion while in Juneau on the NCL Pearl. Allen Marine runs the tour and it is great. It is the best way to see the fjord and glaciers (yes there are two but one is hidden up one of the arms that only the small boat can go up. You will miss some excursion time in Juneau but not that much - the small boat tour takes around 5 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
