Brickwood Posted September 14, 2021 #26 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I believe the gondola goes between wilderness landing and adventure landing with adventure landing being closest to the cannery complex. We docked at Adventure Landing which may be why the gondola wasn't running. Hope I got that right but you can google a map of icy straight point. It is a bit of a walk to the cannery but they did have trams for the disabled (not to be confused with the tram that goes to Hoonah) To get to the tram that goes to Hoonah, you basically walk through the cannery complex and will find the ticket building out back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering how you got from Wilderness to Adventure with no gondolas. Glad to hear they still use Adventure as well. It is nice that they have the tram to take disabled folks from dock to cannery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wink87 Posted September 14, 2021 Author #28 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Oh gosh....is Glacier Bay foggy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leumas Posted September 14, 2021 #29 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) It was foggy in parts but that’s where the wind collided from north and south. Views were good other than a clouds at high elevations that kept you from seeing the peaks. Pictures do not do it justice it is some thing you really have to see. Bring binoculars, good ones, so much you can’t see. One example was one brown bear(only one we saw)on the beach the ranger pointed out. Looked like a dot. Another we were trying to figure out what one of the sounds we were hearing was and it was a waterfall coming down the side of the rock. We didn’t know until we looked with binoculars as you couldn’t tell there was that much water racing down the face from a distance.

Wink87 Posted September 16, 2021 Author #31 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The walk from ship to excursion busses at Ward Cove may be a bit much for dh. Do they provide a cart ride for semi disabled? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. Saw kinky boots and it was far and away the best show I've seen on a cruise ship. Seems many think choir of man is even better so sorry to have missed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
