I was on an NCL cruise about 2 weeks before yall and did the same excursion! We also saw the same pod of whales bubble net feeding. The guides explained that the area has very deep seas right up against land, and that makes it an easy spot for the whales to fish. The glacier view was clear and we saw some big chunks floating in the lake. On Norwegian it's called "Whales, Glaciers & Rainforest Trails" and I would recommend it to everyone.

I want Whales, Whales and more Whales. I went on an Alaska cruise on Princess 20 years ago and didn't know any better and by the time I got there with my 90 year old Father all the whale excursions we're booked. Alaska cruises are so different with no pool time or only inside entertainment. I was also disappointed in taking Princess, an old ship, as opposed to Royal Carribean with the new Promenades. But I thought Princess excelled in Alaska. I did take an excursion, taking off in a seaplane and flying over Fjords and landing in the middle of the lake and standing on the sea pontoons and taking pictures. The best part was the silence. But was still disappointed. Also walking around shops in towns in Skyway I spent a lot of money shopping buying costs, salmon, chocolates. So that really changed the spiritual energy. So if I ever go back RCL and whales only and of course balcony I've been watching your dinners at Victoria and Albert and Remy and Disney Paris. Great videos. Loved the way. Lauren kept whispering into the camera as if we were right there. Keep it up. Working my way through and liking them all.

"D'you know, the state capital of Alaska.." Haha, that was the silly trick we learned in school to remember that Juneau is the capital of Alaska. Fairbanks and Anchorage always seemed much more logical to pick if one didn't know and had to guess. Next hurdle was to get the spelling correct, of course.

I am sooooo jealous! I went on the Ovation of the Seas probably just before or after you. One of the main reasons to go was to see a glacier up close calving. I had booked an excursion for that but it was cancelled because of fog and large ice chunks. 😩 I went on the excursion to Mendenhall glacier but it was foggy and rainy and we couldn’t go to Nugget Falls because it was too flooded and rainy to go out there. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Did you guys know Viking recently launched cruises through the Great Lakes? You could come see me at the top of the Michigan "mitten"! Falk colors! Apple picking! Bald eagles everywhere! Roughly 18 deer in my yard as we speak! (Kidding, not about the deer, but you can't see my yard from Lake Michigan.) It's expensive, though......

If you able to get one, definitely do one. There are a few different ones and some don’t go to Mendenhall, but it is one of the better experiences. Not many people are ever able to step foot out on a glacier!
