Have any of you that have been to Alaska taken the Mariner excursion called "Tracy Arm Glacier Quest"? Is this new or did I just not see it before? I am wondering what it is like - was it worth it - would you recommend it?
Just thinking about what excursions to sign up for. I am already signed up with Misty Fjords with Michelle and whale watching with Captain Larry. Want to also take the Skagway train ride.
Just wondering about the Tracy Arm excursion -
Thanks,
Ginny

Hi Gopack! I haven't been to Alaska and therefore can't answer your question, but I thought I'd say hello from down the road in Dallas. We seem to be getting quite a little contingent of LCTers from the Dallas area and throughout Texas.

This is the first time I've noticed Tracy Arm as an excursion and not part of the actual itinerary. Perhaps someone on one of the 2003 cruises could comment.
I thought Tracy Arm was beautiful when we were there in 2002.

Hi PKD,
Yes, there seems to be quite a few of us Texans here. What area of Dallas do you live in? Maybe one time there will be a Texan LCT get together!
Have a great time in Norway in July!

I didn't go on the Tracy Arm glacier excursion, but did talk with some folks who did. They all thought it was great. However, the 2 favorite excursions by consensus towards the end of my Mariner Alaska cruise were the Neets Bay Bear Watching (in Sitka or Skagway I forget which one) and the Whale/Otter watching with Captain Larry. I did the two latter excursions and thought they were absolutely amazing. I've got some great pictures (silver halide - I don't believe in digital cameras) of otters. We got SO close that I can see their whiskers and littler fingers. Saw lots of bald eagles, 3 breaching whales, and some seals as well.

Ginny - Capt. Larry and Michelle are class acts. Have you thought about doing a glacier helicopter excursion? Very worthwhile. Orca can arrange for a helicopter tour to dovetail with Capt Larry's whale watching. They use Coastal Helicopters and we had a great time. Check out our home page (see alaska 2003 part 2) for pictures of the excursion ... Masaki
