Budget Queen Posted May 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm assuming you are referring to the Fox Island with National Park tour? But, this far off, I would still be open, and not worrying about firming up itinerary plans. A LOT can happen in a year, the more you research. I'm on the Noordam this Saturday.

Yes I was looking at the 8 1/2 hr tour National park tour with Kenai Fjords, are they as good a option as Major Marine? I'm following the posts and reading up everywhere on Alaska. Lots of fun and staying open. I can see lots of trips in my future, but following your general adavice that the excursions are the focus. If I need to change to a lesser room (Balcony now) I will. Excursions first, room later. Now I have the basic route planned the excursions are wide open. Been following your advice to others for a long time and appreciate it. You are one of the reasons I finally caved and decided to do the DIY option. Very excited now but lots of time before things firm up for sure. Enjoy your cruise; wish I was there:) Edited May 28, 2015 by dolfndreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
