Everything was great especially the food on board. Our reason for booking this cruise was to see the advertised Tracy Arm Fjord first hand for ourselves, but the Captain decided to not to go there - a great disappointment for all of us.

Do you happen to remember the name of the naturalist? We were on the same cruise and my daughter is doing a film about it for a contest but we can't remember her name. Thank you.

The naturalist indicated there was too much ice etc in Tracey Arm. He was pleased we went to Endicott because it is so blue. It was fabulous. A number of people that have been to both said they were very pleased with Endicott. It was great.

I don't believe any princess ships have been all the way up the Tracy arm fjord the entire season. Every ship has been detoured because of too much ice in the water. That's why many people choose an Alaska itinerary that goes to glacier Bay instead of the Tracy arm fjord.

We were on last week's cruise and we went to Endicott Arm because there was to much ice in Tracy Arm. Better safe than sorry but we too were a bit disappointed although it was gorgeous! Saw tons of whales!!
