To All, Thanks for your comments and suggestions, they have been very helpful. We have decided to do a HAL cruisetour in July of 2005. Just a few more questions related to shore excursions. We want to maximize our excursion opportunities so I was wondering, taking weather and timing into account if :
a. If a Tundra Wilderness tour is included and we then have a free day in Denali what would be a good follow-up?
b. If we are over-nighting in Anchorage and transferring to Seward the next morning(an assumption) I would appreciate any comments on the following - Portage Lake and Glacier cruise, any glacier landing and dog sled trip from Seward, and a Redoubt Bay bear watch trip.
c. Would a helicopter glacier and dog sled trip be better from either Juneau or Skagway.
d. In Juneau, if we get into port at 7:00 AM, can we take the Capt Larry Whale watch, do Mt Roberts and a glacier landing with a 6:00 PM departure?
e. A similar question in regard to Skagway - can we do the White Horse RR and a glacier and dog sled helicopter trip between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM?
One final question in regard to HAL, how close do they come to the stated arrival times in port, and approximately how long does it typically take to disembark?
