Purchasing shoe excursions off ship??

[Correia_Cruiser]

It's 3 days before our Holland America tour, and the whale tour and glacier tour is sold out. ☹️ Will we have options to select a tour when we get off the ship, by different companies? If so, what should we look for or ask so that we don't get scammed (or worse!)?

There will be some options, but its not like it is in the Caribbean.

You may, or may not. No way to predict. Depends on a number of variables- how many other ships in, how much demand for the tours from those ships, capacity of the vendors, etc. Discussed here frequently.

CruiserBruce has it right.

 

You won't know for sure until you arrive in port.

I hate it when my shoes take a shore excursion without me!!

 

(sorry, just couldn't help it :D:evilsmile:)

Is it the HAL excursion that is sold out? There are a few independents that you could check out - Juneau Whale Watch and Alaska Shore Tours come to mind

In our 10 Alaska cruises, I have never been to a port and not had tour operators offering excursions on the dock. You will have plenty of options available to choose from. These tour operators are all licensed, so you do not need to worry about being scammed. Enjoy your cruise!
