rockmich Posted February 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi- Planning a cruise to ALaksa in August 06. We are on Princess, so we will be going through College Fjord. In Juneau, we were planning a canoe excursion through cruise line. Also want to whale watch and Mendenhall glacier! However, now I am reading info re: Tracy Arm and trying to decide if we should scrap all other plans in Juneau and do this instead. Any advice would be appreciated!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Have you been to Juneau before??? Since you are going to College Fjords and Glacier Bay, I would suggest you may want to consider the whale watch since that is different than the three glacier viewings. Determine what your priority is and realize Alaska is all about compromises and never is a one time trip. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 24, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2006 As said, since you are already viewing 2 glaciers, go for the whale watch - you will love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinlady Posted February 24, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2006 DH and I are on the Diamond Princess going in Aug. 06 and we decided to book the whalewatch w/Capt. Larry in Juneau. Many threads out there on his whalewatch trips. All positive. He was away in Hawaii, but he's back now. I booked on Tuesday of this week. Capt. Larry actually will drop you off at Mendenhall Glacier and you can take the shuttle back to the dock, so I've read. We may be cruising at the same time.

Gingee Posted February 25, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I booked this week also. We will be on the Vision though. So Capt. Larry says he will drop you off at the glacier? Is there anything to do there that you know of besides look at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything to do there that you know of besides look at it? You have to inquire directly about possible glaicer drop offs/pick ups. Not a given with shuttle schedules. Yes you "look at" Mendenhall, but hiking available, small visitor center, ranger activies. http://www.fs.fed.us/r10/tongass/districts/mendenhall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you like to try the casino and theme park? ;) sorry, couldn't resist -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
