Favorite Princess Alaska Excursions

[hoosier_done_it]

We are taking the Denali Explorer Cruisetour this summer and have just begun the formidable task of choosing our excursions.

 

What are your favorites?

 

Just as important, which ones are not worth the time?

JNU-700 is a favorite, and we're going to do it again.

 

Skagway: train to Bennett Lake was great, but be warned that it's long, and you have to choose "stand outside for better pictures where you cannot hear the narration" or "sit/stand inside and photograph through glass windows where you can hear the narration", but the train line refuses to put speakers at the front/rear car decks.

 

Honestly, ask yourself what you like/dislike, and choose for you. My parents loved the Bering Sea fishing/whatever it is, aboard a boat that was previously featured on Deadliest catch, and so did my aunt/uncle, but I'm not real interested in that style of excursion.

There are very detailed trip reports in the STICKY above called ' 2013 alaska cruise review list'. Go to pg 3, reply #45 where the reports are sorted by cruiseline and ship. You'll find descriptions, even photos, of excursions and activities.
