Thank you for replying. This input is good to know.

We will be doing an August cruise with some advance land exploration that will take us from ANC to Denali aboard the Star Train and then back again. Is the Skagway White Pass Railway a totally different experience or much the same scenery that we will see prior to the cruise? Yes, I understand they are two different locales. Just trying to decide what we should do in Skagway and I hear the White Pass Railway is the main draw. Thanks for any advice and sharing your experiences.

Thank you all for the information. I'm noticing as I look at itineraries in late/May-early June, HAL has extended time cruising Glacier Bay but it reads "Cruising Only." Is that standard, meaning one does not expect to do excursions on glacier or fjord days? That may well be the case and it makes sense, but I want to verify. Thanks.

Thank you everyone for weighing in. The information has given me some great direction.

Nuance is what I'm hearing. Also, one-way trips will allow for more. Vancouver over Seattle. Thank you.

Thanks you good information.

Understand. I do see some minor variations in itineraries but most 7 days trips seem very similar to me.

First time Alaska cruiser here. I have heard positives about Princess, Holland America, Norwegian for Alaska. I have no cruise experience with any of those three. (I have sailed RCCL, Disney, Celebrity previously.) What is your favorite Alaska cruise line and why? Also, what is the one piece of advice you would give me as I begin planning? Thank you for your opinions and advice. We are in our 50's & 60's and will be traveling with another couple. Time line is ideally last week of May/first week of June 2024 or 2025. We may be too late for 2024.

Do you know how I go about scheduling the prepaid shuttle by chance?

😫 Thanks

Does Celebrity offer any shuttle service into the city of Ravenna from the port of Ravenna?

Thanks everyone. I will look into the suggested options.

Does anyone have experience traveling from the cruise ship port in Ravenna into the city? Not an organized tour so no transportation is pre-planned.

Are the historic Athens sites all within walking distance of one another or is transportation needed to get from place to place? Thank you. First time visitor.

Oh my! This is good information to have. Thank you.

Traveling in May on eastern Mediterranean night cruise traveling from Ravenna to Athens with stops in Croatia, Turkey, Greek Isles. Is there a way to determine which ports we will tender in from vs dock? I’m assuming most will involve a tender.

Will be in Split for the day in late May. I am reading that much can be done on foot independently. I would like to incorporate some type of water tour into our day as the waters there look amazing. Any recommendations specifically or tour operators you've had positive experiences with that you can share? We will be in port 8AM-7PM. Thanks in advance.

I appreciate the information. This is more or less what I was told previously but as cruise date approaches wanted to double check. I suspect we will park ship side.

Just wondering if there is any safe, reasonably priced parking for the duration of a cruise leaving/returning to MIAMI. I know you can park at the Port itself but typically independent operations are less costly.
