Feedback on Juneau, Ketchikan Princess Excursions

[cruzgryphon]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had any feedback on the following Princess Excursions (or alternatives). Will be there early June on the Golden.

 

Looking for some opportunities to view wildlife viewing trips and some variety. This will be the 2nd trip to Juneau (saw Medenhall glacier on the 1st trip).

 

Juneau - Best of Juneau

Ketchikan - Coastal Wildlife Cruise

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the post. I'm leaning towards doing some fishing in Ketchikan and whale watch/ nature excursions at the other locations.
