mbc1 Posted July 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Am in a dilemma. Looking to book a southbound HAL cruisetour next July. Depending on the date and tour - its Glacier Bay and Sitka vs Skagway,Sitka and Hubbard Glacier. Everyone say how beautiful Glacier Bay is. Any opinions as to forsaking Glacier to visit Skagway and is Sitka a better stop than Skagway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted July 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Any Alaska trip is a compromise and both are great choices. I do give an edge to Glacier Bay however. More important- be very educated about your tour purchase and understand fully distances and activities available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 6, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2004 :) Have been to all of those places several times. Really love Glacier Bay over Hubbard. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted July 6, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2004 i would vote for Glacier Bay, although Hubbard Glacier is beautiful. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentuckmn Posted July 7, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2004 We are planning a cruise in the summer of 2006 and we are seriously considering a Glacier Cruise on Princess. I would like to know if there is a lot of calving in Glacier Bay. I understand there is at the Hubbard Glacier, however I also understand it continues to surge forward causing problems at times for the cruise ships to get close. Does anyone have an answer?

Budget Queen Posted July 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2004 On AVERAGE- Hubbard is more active with calving than Glacier Bay glaciers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
