Maine76 Posted February 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Has anyone taken the Light Houses & Eagles excursion offered by Princess? Good, bad, or indifferent? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted February 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2018 On our very first cruise up here, before we started doing independent touring - I'd agree that it wasn't bad, but it was still the worst Alaskan tour choice we've ever made. Just kinda meh - there are definitely more exciting options, so unless you're a repeat visitor who's already done everything else and want to do a new tour I'd personally consider this a low priority. Eagles are ten a penny across the region, and none of the lighthouses were particularly spectacular in design or location, so while it delivers what it promises we just felt that we could have spent the time much more productively.

Rare Coral Posted February 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I wouldn't recommend this tour. It was kind of boring. It is easy to see eagles in Alaska with out this, a tour to Totem Bight (or Saxman Village) would allow you to see the totem poles closer up and the lighthouse is just ok. I hear if you are outside when the ship sails (either coming or going - I don't remember) - you will see the light house. Someone I was with thought the dip served was the best part of the trip.

Rare martincath Posted February 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2018 ^I was thinking about mentioning the dip being the only really memorable part myself! Second-guessed that might push it too far into 'this was a bad excursion' territory than it really deserved though;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I mean, I did enjoy the tour. Got some nice pictures of eagles on the buoys. Just didn't find it that memorable. Glad I did it, but not sure I'd do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
