We did the Grizzly Falls zipline and it was amazing. We chose this one because it sounded fun ziplining over waterfalls. You also get to ride a monster truck just to get up the base where the ziplines are. Our teenagers really enjoyed themselves.

We took 3 teenagers last year to Alaska and they are all pretty active. We did a dog sled excursion in Juneau and the kids all enjoyed it. In Skagway, we ziplined over waterfalls which was super fun. Our Ketchikan stop got canceled but we looked into kayaking.

We booked the Gold Rush Dog Tours through our cruise ship and had a great time.

We have teenagers and went on an Alaskan cruise in May. In Juneau, we went to the dog sled camp. Our teenagers really enjoyed it. Our other ports were different from yours and some of our excursions were changed. We like the active excursions so sitting by and watching for whales isn't something our kids would do. We did take them zip lining in Skagway which was a blast. We were supposed to go kayaking in Ketchikan but our itinerary changed and we didn't make it there.

Looks like temps next week in Alaska will be near 80 and other days will be rainy. I didn't need shorts on our Alaskan cruise but others might. Our temperatures were very pleasant and we didn't get any rain.

We were on the crown in May and there was a public announcement due to an electrical problem on the ship and they had requested the electrical engineer to come and help stat. It seemed that the engine had shut down and this happened while we were in Glacier Bay. We very much had the fear that we could be stuck there. I don't think I would want to travel on that ship across the ocean.

We just got off the Crown last month and if you can change, I would recommend it. It would have been nice to get off the ship at least another time other than the 3 stops. We actually had an electrical emergency while we were sailing in glacier bay. There were able to fix it but we were all thinking that there would be a chance that we could have been stuck there and nobody close to rescue us.

We lucked out with temps in the 70s and no rain on our Alaska cruise a month ago. There were people swimming but mostly in the hot tubs. We had our swimsuits but didn't go swimming.

We had a few nights with reservations since we wanted to be sure to be able to get to the show on time. We also tried walk in with no reservations. The wait wasn't long without reservations. It may be different for a larger party. It was easier to get reservations for our party of 5. There were a few times where our kids just wanted the buffet and we went as a couple without them without reservations. When we had reservations for our 5, we were seated at a table alone. When we went as a couple, we were seated at a table with 10.

We had cell service from all Alaskan ports but not in Canada ports.
