Lance'sBride Posted August 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2014 We are planning a cruise to Alaska, we have cruised many times but always to the Caribbean. So, I have a question for any Alaska cruise experts! Our schedule has us limited to two options, both are similar with only a couple differences. The first sails August 18 and goes through Tracy Arm Fjord, the second sails September 1 and goes through Glacier Bay. I have heard Glacier Bay is great, but August weather is better. So, which would you choose? Thanks for your help! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted August 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2014 This year? With Tracy Arm, I find it absolutely "necessary" to purchase the add on ship tour. This tour is grossly superior to the cruise ship transit. This will add about $400++++ for a couple. Also, the Sawyer glaciers are no where on the scale of Glacier Bay. So I suggest you determine your priority for this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2014 For your first Alaska Cruise I would go with Glacier Bay. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyladyh Posted August 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Glacier Bay all the way - no comparison. It is amazing and the highlight for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance'sBride Posted August 16, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted August 16, 2014 You all convinced me, we're booked for Glacier Bay! :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted August 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We have done both and love both. We have gone 8 times in September and 2 times in June. September is just fine. So, to answer your question, if you are going to cruise to AK only one time, I would go with the itinerary that includes Glacier Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
