Skagway train ride was amazing. The best part was being able to step out of the train and stand out side between the cars was amazing. I stood there for a long time enjoying the sceneries. (Look for the hidden sasquatch).

[@gdpope52]

We were there in Sept 2024. The train was great!

[@icedteamama176]

Did you book the train ride with cruise line or at train station? What’s the best time to get on the train? Heard it’s about 3 hours round trip. We’re cruising late May. Thanks!

[@deebell8727]

@icedteamama176 we did it through the cruise line. When you book through the cruise line they make sure you get to your excursions and back guaranteed. We booked our ride time soon after getting there. We then had time to walk through the town and grabbing something to eat after the train ride. We ate breakfast on the ship then went on the train ride. There are bathrooms on the train.

[@deebell8727]

FYI... On our 2nd trip to Alaska, I got really sick with bronchitis and had to cancel 1 excursion. I had to see a doctor on the ship. I was advised to take my receipts from the doctor to the front desk, and the excursion was canceled, and our money for it was reimbursed. Normally, they will not reimburse you your money for a missed excursion (you have to cancel at least 3 days ahead, and ours was the next day).

We are flying into Vancouver 2 days prior to our cruise, Cant wait!!!

[@jhollie8196]

Agree with crab fishing tour. We had a great time and was lucky enough to get a seat on the front row. Can’t beat Victoria. We arrived at 8 pm and that’s way too late for us so we caught the bus and walked around. In 2019 we did the walking tour with our daughters ending in downtown. Thanks for sharing

Our Alaskan cruise is May 2024! We are excited for a whale watching excursion in Juneau

[@charlenejanssen6515]

I'm going may the 25 from seattle. And going on the whale watching

[@deebell8727]

@stevecummins6179 how was your whale watching excursion? Did you see whales?? I wondered about doing an excursion like that but wondered if it is worth it?

[@stevecummins6179]

@@deebell8727 We actually changed our plans and did a whale watching tour in Icy Strait (because Skagway got cancelled on our sailing). We were able to visit the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau. Highly recommend. To answer your question, YES, we actually followed a pod of humpbacks as they were feeding for most of our excursion. It was pretty incredible.

[@icedteamama176]

Thinking of booking whale watching when we land in Juneau port since weather is so unpredictable…we’ll be there late May.

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

I am on NCL Encore on May 4 from Seattle. Can't wait! Deciding on what excursions to get.

[@noname-JS]

Where are you seeing these prices? Did you book these outside of the cruise line at the port itself?

[@ThisSeasonsGold]

So excited to see this! I love when you share cruise excursions! So much to know and learn from you!!👌🏽

[@tjadopt4077]

This was great! Thank you for sharing the prices! It really helps!

[@MattCook206]

great finds, thanks for sharing esp with the prices- very helpful!

[@thelibbygirl]

Very informative, thank you! Your daughter's adorable 😊

[@gabriellexoxo21]

This was so helpful, thank you!

[@deebell8727]

The stop in Canada was disappointing that we got there so late at night. We were given less than 3 hours so we still went to check it out. At night with the lights in the city and the horse drawn carriages was so beautiful. It is a beautiful city but most every place was closed. Wish we could have gotten there earlier and spent more time there.

[@seadayz1883]

Excited about Juneau and the tram

[@TravelingwithValeman77]

I have a cruise on May 4, 2025. Booked the tram also.

[@icedteamama176]

Are there buses or uber near the NCL Victoria cruise port? We arrive at 8:30 P.M. late May. Thanks!

[@deebell8727]

We signed up for an excursion that took us to a salmon fish hatchery and then took us to Mendenhall Glacier. After that we were taken to a place where we were given lunch. Salmon, ribs, salad, cornbread and other stuf. A bar was set up there to. The area was beautiful. Covered patios next to a small creek where you can see salmon and a short walk up to a waterfall. All of this in one day. It was really nice! What was nice about this excursion is they picked you up and had a tour guide and drove you to these places and picked you up to take you back to your ship. Very convenient.

[@beebjnu3906]

You went to Salmon Bake. Salmon Bake back in the 90`s was along gold creek between Mt Juneau and Mt Roberts

[@deebell8727]

@beebjnu3906 That is where we went to the salmon bake..

[@robertstatile343]

Ok Alanna, we are going mid august...Tips?? Weather? Shops?

[@bushitwo6367]

The glacier shuttle is now $80 not $45!! 😮

[@danakruse7325]

Fantastic video thanks for including the prices.

[@CruisetheWorldAtoZ]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you found it helpful! When is your trip to Alaska?

[@danakruse7325]

I’ve been there but most of our activities were cancelled due to medical emergencies if I go again I want the land and sea combo using either Holland or princess - whoever provides it.

[@icedteamama176]

Is there a link for the Juneau Mendenhall transportation of $45? Is that round trip and admission? Thanks!

[@livingdeadgirl8074]

That looks like a snow crab. King or snow cool thing to with kids.

[@lorijennings8628]

What month did you do your Alaska cruise?

[@eddiea5934]

When did y’all go?

[@kristeekonesky2153]

Who did you go through for your helicopter tour?

[@jl98469]

The Rogers shop is also haunted!

[@angellamiller12]

I was not able to get a passport so I guess I’ll have to skip Canada 😢

[@cpl1979]

Go Bills!

[@ryanreeves70]

They pull in a year's worth of wages in a few months = expensive $$$

[@MaritesMontes-m7t]

[@mareemelksham1015]

Lumberjack show was that price if you just show up or did you purchase a ship excursion

[@ReeceS6419]

Surely it was in person price because through the cruise line it will cost me and my husband well over 400.00 to see lumberjack show. Excursions through cruise line are ridiculous but you have to worry about timing and possibly being left if you run late. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@jennieobrien3141]

Our ship (Princess Saphire) is $43 per person for the lumberjack show. Summer of 2025. We are doing the totem pole state park and lumber jack show package at $125 each.

[@rouzaud1981]

That is a snow crab

[@littlemikeism]

I wouldn't book Discovery Channel Alaska due to the exception they gave you. I don't have kids by choice and I try to avoid them. I look for tours that are all adult or a min. age of 10. The last thing I want to hear on a tour is a screaming child. These tour operators should be concerned with following their restrictions.

[@mikecharboneau9042]

its mountains not mownt-ens

[@nazahmad5562]

Excursions are expensive

[@CarolynDevery]

Taking a piece of the glacier home. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!
