toothfary7 Posted January 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2018 We will be sailing on NCL Pearl in July. This gives us time in Juneau 2pm to 10pm. The 2 options I'm torn between **Whale watching with Harv and Marv's (5hr tour) **Tracy Arm Fiord--ship sponsored tour lasting 8 hours. I have read Tracy Arm Fiord is beautiful....this is our only option to see it as Adventure Bound only has morning tours not fitting into our schedule. Not quite sure who NCL contracts for this...if any one knows?? A little leary with the 8 hr time commitment?? Any input or experience would be much appreciated in helping me decide...Thanks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted January 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I have done both multiple times - I would choose Tracy Arm. I find it far more scenic and I have been lucky and have seen whales on that trip (not guaranteed). Allen Marine is the ship's vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peety3 Posted January 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Does your cruise have another glacier stop along the way? If so, I'd do the whale watch. If not...I'd perhaps do the Tracy Arm tour (but it's a tough call). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothfary7 Posted January 15, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 15, 2018 We do cruise through Glacier Bay. I was not sure if it would be the same experience as a smaller boat like the excursion.... Or if we will see whales from the ship? I understand there are no guarantees on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Arm - definitely. It is not like Glacier Bay. Both experiences are great. My last whale watching trips have been mediocre which I know is pure timing.
