Planning an Alaskan cruise on Princess.They offer "on your own" and explorer. Any experience with either?

Welcome to Cruise Critic, although I see you joined awhile ago! This is the right place to ask about a strictly Princess question (although I do not have the answer). But for your planning pleasure, don't miss the Alaska port-of-call board on CC:

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/33-alaska/

 

I found most maybe all of my June AK excursions via that board!

We have not done a Princess Alaska cruise tour. So, I’m of no help.
 

This is a specific to Princess cruising question.

Our favorite excursions were Ziplining (Ketchikan) and Mt Robert's (Juneau) Ziplining was with Adventure Tours and involved a climbing challenge, walking through 3 bridges between trees in disrepair (1 rope, 1 missing planks, 1 balance beam). For Mt Robert's we walked to the tramline which goes 1/2 way up then continued to the top. Awesome views, lots of animals, delicious wild berries.

Are you asking about the land part of a Cruise Tour?  Or excursions in ports?

Love Chilkoot Tours for independent excursion in Skagway and typically book their van up to the Yukon - Caribou Crossing - and the train back to Skagway.  First learned about them on the Cruise Critic Alaska board - terrific source of info. Alaska is our favorite cruise area - have a great trip!
