Alaska Cruise Excursions Reviewed
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator reviews several excursions experienced during a fourteen day Alaskan cruise across two different ships. He begins by discussing glacier viewing from the cruise ship, noting that while it is not a paid excursion, it requires careful planning to secure a good vantage point. He describes a canceled helicopter and airboat tour to the Taku Glacier, which was scheduled for the Discovery Princess but lost due to weather. The creator also details a visit to the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan and a combined excursion featuring the Mendenhall Glacier and whale watching in Juneau. He concludes by revealing the costs of these activities to help viewers decide if they are worth the investment. The lumberjack show cost approximately forty dollars, while the glacier and whale watching excursion was nearly two hundred dollars. The canceled helicopter tour carried a high price tag of nearly six hundred eighty dollars, with an additional surcharge for weight limits. The creator expresses that the whale watching experience was particularly spectacular due to seeing humpback whales performing bubble net feeding.
