Even so, going early in the season is no guarantee of a successful tour. Weather conditions in Alaska, and specifically Juneau, change rapidly. I've been to Juneau 4 times ... only once was I able to do a Helicopter tour with a landing and sled dogs (that was in June 2014.) On that particular day, the weather was dicey. Our sled ride was cut short due to sleet ... we had to get back before weather worsened and the chopper couldn't take off. Coastal was our tour operator (not thru cruise line) and they were a very classy operation. This year, it appears the conditions are too warm on the glacier and safety of the camp is concerning. I'm so sorry you weren't able to complete the bucket list tour ... it stinks. Hoping you have a fantastic Alaska experience all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygirl629 Posted May 5, 2022 #28 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I booked dog sledding through RCL for our mid-August cruise. Now I'm wondering what our chances are of actually getting to do this? Hm. Anyone have any recommendations for a backup excursion? I hope if they cancel they are able to give notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Ellas Mom Posted May 5, 2022 #29 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Dyea Dave tours mentioned earlier in this thread is not offering tours for 2022 due to the uncertainty of being able to go into Canada. This was on their facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
