Alaskan Cruise, are the day tours worth the expense in your experience?

• Are the day tours the cruise line offer worth the cost and are they/were they pleasant for you? Any particular tours you liked and why? We (2 of us) are kinda thinking of just ...show more

• Answer:

  We went on an Alaska cruise on Princess about 4 years ago. Our stops were the usual and we did tours in each stop. One that we did was a tour of a Totem Pole and Clan House exhibit. It was interesting, but not really that exciting. Then next stop we did a tour that took us to the Mendenhall Glacier (see one ya see them all). Then we went to a fish hachery (kinda like watching grass grow) and the place also had some eagles. Again, It too was interesting but not really exciting stuff. The next stop we did a bus tour that took us up the mountain pass that the gold rush folks took to get to the gold fields. It was beautiful scenery, as there was snow on the ground up there. All of that was pretty. The Alaska cruise is not the type where you will have the opportunity to do the same type exciting things that you can do in the Caribbean, like go scuba, snorkle, horse back ride, climb a falls, etc. The Alaska tours did include one where you go on a bush plane and land on a glacier, and another where you go someplace and go on a dog sled ride. Another tour was a lumberjack demonstration. We decided on our Alaska cruise to do a tour on the stops, but not spend big bucks on them; we did whatever was cheapest. On hind sight we probably could have skipped the tours and just walked around town.
