New Alaska Shore Tours (including Whittier!).

[Host Caroline]

If you're cruising with Princess this year and haven't decided to book or not to book with them for tours.. you might want to check these 18 new tours out. One in Sitka with only 12 people looks really good and if you've been wondering what to do in Whittier all day...

 

These aren't my recommendations (well maybe the Sitka Wildlife one) but worth a gander if for no other reason than to plant some ideas I'm just putting the "titles" here .. all are up in detail on the princess website.

My husband and I have booked the Adventure Kart Expedition in Ketchikan. I wish I could find a picture of a Kart.

Pam,

 

I have a picture of the carts and all I can say is that you are much more daring then I am.

 

The picture is in the Excursion booklet - hopefully you will get yours soon.

uh oh, maybe not. What do they look like? Now I am scared.

Pam,

 

It looks like something a 14 year old would love or someone with a young mind

 

It appears one person per cart, the carts ride very low and it has rails above where you sit (roll over rails?)

 

Pam - I can't find a good picture that looks similiar but if you look at this website:

The main picture at the center top - it sort of looks like the one man one but a little bigger. I wish I could find a better picture. Sort of like a dune buggy.

[pamwinn]

Thanks. I am sort of like a giant kid. And I do mean giant...I hope I can fit in that cart...looks very small.

We cruise Alaska June 26. When should I receive my shore excursion booklet? Thanks!

Cool Cruiser - You generally receive your pre-crusie docs with excursion book about 50-60 days before the cruise.

 

Pam - the cart in the excursion book looks larger then the picture I directed you towards. If you go - I would love to see pictures
