We did both, went on the helicopter from Skagway and it was an awesome experience. I’m standing by my Tracey arm statement. It was great from the carnival ship when they picked us up on the fjord. That’s why I talked e1 into it. The ride from Juneau was just too far. There was no time to see anything else after. And the view of sawyer glacier wasn’t any better than the 3 at glacier bay. Just my opinion 🤷‍♀️

Another thing, we all feeling a bit crummy last few days and one has a positive covid test. Not enough “washy washy” 🤣

We were on there with you. I think I recognize your picture! 🤣 we went to Cagney’s the last night and I could not have been more disappointed! 6:15 reservations for 9 and we just left at 8:15 without dessert. Teresa was our waiter and she was SLOW, but maybe they were understaffed. She appeared to have one main helper but there were others around. The meat was good but most of us spent the $25 for lobster. Small tales, overcooked, and cold. The sides were all cold also. it was not the upscale meal we were expecting. the buffet was always good, Taste was probably the best meal all week. Savor was another SLOW meal, like it was 1/2 hour just to get water. Super annoying, as we had reservations for a party of 9. someone mentioned Tracey Arm excursion out of Juneau. Tracy arm is beautiful but the trip there and back from Juneau was a very boring boat ride. It’s a 6-7 hour excursion and most of that is the ride to the fjord. No entertainment , no narration. I would not take it again. My family is not happy with me over that! I did redeem myself with the Neets bear by land and sea. We all loved it, saw 3 bears, lots of eagles, salmon jumping around. And we got to see whales playing around and flipping their tales. Over all we all had a great time, several first time cruisers. Just a couple bumps.

We returned today. Temporary government ID WITH a picture on it is OK! We had a wonderful trip to Alaska.

Thanks all. No passport needed on Alaska cruises. Took my GD 2 years ago with just a BC and it was a nonissue. All set for Sunday! ☺️

He doesn’t have a passport. We are going to Alaska, he is calling customer service. Everything I’m reading as long as it has a picture it’s ok.

Ok, thank you!

We are cruising Sunday and one of our cruisers just lost his wallet. He doesn’t have a drivers license, just state issued ID. If her gets a temporary one, which does have his picture, will that suffice? Anyone have experience with this?

We are sailing the Encore Sunday and it’s been a couple years so have a couple questions. First, we have a group of 9, 5 different rooms. How does the group text chat work, I think it’s $10? We have both iPhones and android’s. Does it just go thru the NCL app? regarding dining in the regular sit down restaurants, do you have to make reservations? (Carnival you reserve thru their app) thanks!

We are on this sailing!

Where else can you get a chunk of ice thousands of years old? 🤣 I had a glacierita on the Tracy arm excursion, and the Glacier 🧊 tasted like water. 🤷‍♀️

I’m surprised it’s allowed in the observation deck on the Alaska cruises. That’s not right. We leave in just over a week, 3rd time to Alaska, but glad we have an extra large balcony. Last time on the encore was right after covid and the ship was very empty. It’s going to be a very different cruise. Lol

I was able to change in on her check in so one problem solved!

I might try that when we board also. Checking in there wasn’t that option. Thanks!

We’ve already inputted her debit card, but I guess we can just go have it removed and put cash on it when we board?
