Endicott Arm (Small Boat Excursion)

[CastMember 02]

Hey CC! If we are unable to get into Tracy Arm and get Endicott as our substitute, will princess then have the small boat excursion like they do in Tracy Arm? Also note that we have a 5:00am - 10:00am scenic cruising time listed! TIA!!!!

Yes they will, we just had this excursion 5/31 and the small boats came into Endicott and we saw the Dawes Glacier. Your excursion should be scheduled for 7 AMish. Our itinerary was changed to 2 hrs later which caused issues with some Juneau excursions

Even with a 5:00am arrival?

My cruise for August just got changed the 2 hours later. I'm hoping they will adjust the rest of the excursions a bit so we can do 2

Arriving at the entrance to Endicott/Tracy Arm at 5 am - it takes a while to get to the point where the tour starts, we had a 5AM "arrival" and our booking said 7:05 meeting time but our meeting time turned out to be 8:55AM and we got to Juneau at 3:30. As KristyMisty14 noted it looks like they are bumping their arrival time by 2 hrs too.

 

It is a good tour!

Sorry new here and headed out in a month. Is this the excursion where you have to wait until you get on the ship to register and it is a small amount of people? Any tips on getting tickets? Suitable for a 8 and 9 year old? Thanks!

No, you book it through Cruise Personalizer (princess.com) or your TA.

 

It is fine for kids - there were lots on our tour under 10. There were 2 boats with 80-100 persons each, they may bring more or less boats if the bookings warrant.

 

Operator is Allen Marine Tours.

So where and how do the people get onto the smaller boat? And, which ships offer this excursion? Pretty sure I never saw it on the Grand, could be wrong, though.
