26Glacier cruise before embarkation

[phyteng]

We're booked for the Alaska southbound cruise in June 2024. If we take the 26Glacier cruise, which ends at 620pm, will we have enough time for embarkation at Whittier?

Also is this possible if doing a B2B?

We did this.

Princess is well aware of this option, and unless things have changed, they do not depart Whittier until later in the evening.

 

Yes, this excursion was great!

Recommend to anyone who might be interested, and want to get out on a smaller boat, more up-close and personal.

Yes.  Purchase the excursion directly from Philips Cruises.  The ship will be selling this excursion for more.  Philips operates only one 26 Glacier Cruise per day and those that booked through the ship will be on the same catamaran as those that booked directly.  Our group saved $100 per couple by booking directly and using the AAA discount.  You are also able to pick a table location by booking direct.

We did this 4 years agon on our B2B day.  It was a great way to see so much.

All aboard for the Princess cruise was 7:30 pm for an 8:00pm departure in Whittier.  The 26 Glacier Cruise arrives back between 6:20 and 6:30 pm.  You will have time.  Check-in for the 26 Glacier cruise starts at 11:30 am.  The cruise terminal is a 2 minute walk from were the Glacier cruise dock.
