Excursions in Alaska?

[RLM77]

The time is fast approaching when we must decide on which excursions to sign up for our June Alaska cruise on Mariner.

 

The Tracy Arm Fjord sounds wonderful, but I wonder how difficult it is to board a catamaran directly from the Mariner? Has anyone done this? :eek:

 

Also, would it be advisable to also take the coach tour to Mendenhall glacier or would we be "glaciered out"?

 

Thanks all

We took the Tracy Arm tour - it was the highlight of an otherwise splendid cruise. I don't even remember problems boarding the catamaran. We didn't tour Mendenhall Glacier - but certainly had a great glacier experience in Tracy Arm, getting up close and watching the Sawyer Glacier calve. We also saw all variety of wildlife, from seals to bears to whales , on that boat. I spent the afternoon wlaking around Juneau, up to the capital, checking out the used book stores, and had a fine time, at no cost.
