How far from the dock is Tracy's Crab Shack. We have one person who has a mobility issue. What ship are you on and what is your arrival date? Depending on where your ship is docked, it could be 10-15 minutes walking distance up a slightly inclined roadway or boardwalk, or right next to your ship. Keep in mind that depending on how many ships are in port the sidewalks can be extremely crowded, especially when it is raining and everyone is under an umbrella and trying to stay sheltered. 😁 Edited May 18 by dmwnc1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted May 19 #5 Share Posted May 19 Once you arrive at the restaurant, be prepared to stand in what could be a long line (rain or shine). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted May 21 #10 Share Posted May 21 As the others said, it is right on the dock in a large red building. You can't miss it. From where Princess typically moors, it should be a very short walk.....like one of the first things you come to when walking off the ship. You see that line in the pic above? That's short. It's usually much longer. Depending on the mobility issue, shack 2 is about a quarter mile walk down the sidewalk, past the Hangar, and past the Coast Guard Station. It's in a large, open gravel parking lot, right on the water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeasleysMom66 Posted May 23 #12 Share Posted May 23 If you can wait until Skagway the crab at Waddios was better and less expensive. Several on my cruise right now said Tracy's was pricey for what they got. Waddios is walking distance from the shuttle depot and not fancy at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be home but I stand by my review. WOADIE'S is worth the time to try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Knight Posted May 25 #15 Share Posted May 25 Be aware that not all the crab served at Tracy's is fresh catch, so check with them before you purchase if that is important to you. I saw an old review online in which the person took pics of frozen crab being prepared, and Tracy's replied that some of the crab is fresh caught but that the Bering Sea king crab is "fresh-frozen" because they are a winter fishery.

Stevepcb64 Posted June 4 #17 Share Posted June 4 We were just there a couple of days ago on Princess. It is right at the dock, easy access. I was also hesitant about the line but someone told me it moves fast and they were right. We thought it was very good. Yes it is expensive but it pretty much was everywhere else as well. Yes the King & snow crab is frozen, just like everywhere else. It comes from the Bering Sea in North Alaska in the winter. The Dungeness can be caught in local waters fresh but I don't know for sure if there's is fresh or not. I had the King crab and it was delicious.

BeasleysMom66 Posted June 5 #19 Share Posted June 5 (edited) 3 hours ago, kayehall said: Do you remember the cost of this meal? Oh yeah, including gratuity: $105. The crab leg alone was $85 but over a pound of meat. It was delicious and I don't regret it but not a dining option I would do at home on a regular basis. Definitely a travel treat I enjoyed though. Here is their website including prices: https://www.woadiesses.com/ Keep in mind seafood prices can change as market prices fluctuate.
