Harvard glacier
Roxanne R.

The cruise is absolutely beautiful. The meals were very tasty. The ship was spotless. The staff was helpful. Captain Dave was knowledgeable. Ranger John was informative. We had a sunny day to experience the glaciers. This cruise is an absolute must for anyone visiting the area.

Excellent glacier viewing experience but a rather long day. The tour we booked includes both the train ride (from Anchorage to Whittier and back) and the cruise itself. The train ride was fun and full of beautiful views and plenty of humor from our guide, a precocious young lady who has yet to graduate high school. The cruise itself was of course the highlight of the day and included lots of narrations from both the ranger and the captain, who had a keen eye for spotting whales and made every effort to stop to let us film. The cruise also includes a delicious lunch (clam chowder or chili) and free coffee, which I sorely needed after a long day of walking yesterday. Overall, this was an excellent experience but a rather long day if you ride the train. You can save at least 2 hours if you drive a car but we chose to experience the train ride that I've heard so much about. I highly recommend this company for its professionalism and great overall experience!

A bucket list item fulfilled in a magnificent way. The glaciars should be seen by everyone, andbthis is a very comfortable way to do so. Captain knowledgable but not overwhelming with chatter. Crew helpful and kind. Boat ride calm even at higher speeds, and interiors clean, including the facilities

This cruise is a must! We drove about an hour from Anchorage and parked directly by where you load on the ship ($15 for parking). We got there a little early and got some coffee at the café close by. The small town Whittier is so so cool! The boat was so spacious and comfortable with large tables to sit at. We ended up sitting on the upper level with our own access to the decks. Beautiful scenery with so many glaciers. We were able to spot a black bear and sea lions & otters.

Sea otters

Great cruise! We were disappointed that we didn't see any whales but saw a lot of otters and sea lions along the way. No seasickness as advertised. Bring your binoculars! Staff was wonderful!

Informative cruise. Beautiful scenery. Pilot saw a whale and turned around for us to see if it would surface again. Unfortunately, it was rainy so didn't see as much on the way out.

Zero visibility day. Too bad, no refund for some of you.

Don't pay this company in advance if there is any chance of bad weather. They issue refunds randomly, but will invent excuses at will to retain payment. One member of our party was issued a same day refund, while the others were refused. Clearly they strive to minimize profit losses on bad weather days.

This cruise was really beautiful. Saw a lot of sea otters and seals and even a seal on the ice.

I chose the Whittier location because its boats visit more glaciers in Prince William Sound.

Booked a last minute charter after missing out on another boat With fewer fisherman. The other boat…read morehighly recommended crazy rays. I was reluctant at first, as I had been on party boats on the east coast that were crowded and full of novice fishermen with a mess of tangled lines. We were greeted at the dock and head count was made making sure we all had the required fishing licenses. The boat was large and comfortable, clean and well laid out. Captain gave us the talk and set expectation for our trip. We had a wide variety between experienced and beginner anglers. The day was sunny and beautiful, a rarity in these waters. We were going for large halibut, but hit on rockfish and king cod. We were very successful, but huge halibut weren't there so we moved on and hit a nice spot of smaller halibut. Just about everyone limited out. The mate and captain both worked extremely hard and were friendly and patient. Couple of lines got tangled but no big deal Everyone caught fish. You could take them home or pay for processing and shipping on the dock. Summary this is a top notch boat with great people running it. These guys work hard to make this a fun experience for everyone and were highly skilled and kind. Met some nice people on the boat, nobody got sick. Beautiful views and caught a bunch of fish. Had a beautiful rockfish fillet last night cooked with white wine and lemon. so glad I chose to go.

Ray I tried calling…read moreyou, left you my number so you can call me back all I got was your automated email asking for a review....So here you go! Fishing Experience what it comes down to is a Minimalist as you described in your email by checking the boxes vs Maximumizing the experience which is my goal. I take 10 to 15 Fishing Charters per year all over North America, I am taking 5 this week. I don't book party charters because I want to ensure I control who I fish with, I often fish a 6 pack with only myself or 1 or 2 friends. FV ICrazy 2 was disappointing and did not measure up to expectations. 1. Mechanical Failure at 1:00pm Prop fell off the engine. Then we spent an hour looking for a spare prop and contacting you. 2. One windshield wiper working, other completely missing. All of the compartment doors are held shut with a dish rag folded over 2-1/2 times and jammed in the crack to keep the doors from falling open since none of the latches would hold the doors closed. 3. The water hose did not work, so everything had to be washed down with a bucket on a rope. 4. The bathroom door would not latch and had to be blocked so it wouldn't keep swinging open. 5. Seat back in the cabin across from the driver would not stay in place 6. And in general the boat lacked good maintenance that you would expect from a 1st class charter operation that is charging its customers premium rates for a full day of fishing. 7. Next issue, I booked a Private 6 Pack Fishing Vessel, only to be told by the captain that the boat could only handle 4 rods at a time plus it was only him no deck hand. So in reality we got a 4 pack and our catch was limited by only having 4 people fishing at any given time. 8. Next, we wasted valuable time in 2 ways, 1st we didn't depart the boat dock until 7:30am and 2nd we went on a wild goose chase scouting a waypoint for the Captains "Boss" on the way down that he never intended to fish because it was too deep, this was over an hour of time we could have been fishing. My points are we could have fished more rods earlier and limited on Halibut sooner, moved on to Rockfish sooner and limited and had time to target cod and other species to Maximize our Fishing Charter had it not been for the limitations within the control of Crazy Rays Charters. The way I see it is I got 2/3 of a Charter for 2/3 of the Time, so I should pay 44.4%. Jeff Miller

We just returned from our two week trip to Alaska. The middle part of that was 5 days and 4 nights…read morewith Captain Al and his crew for our cruise. Unexpectedly, we ended up being the only guests as others had backed out. We started out of Seward with a nice trip from Anchorage with Joan and Jeff as our shuttle team. They were both very personable and a pleasure to make the trip with to Seward. We were greeted with champagne and quickly got underway. Our accommodations were exactly as described in the Master suite. After two days of being wined and dined, we finally had to say, the "food is amazing, but we don't eat this much in a day. We need to slow down on the amount" LOL Certainly all you could possibly eat and nicely prepared. En En set beautiful tables for every meal and and our wine glasses were never dry. The weather was not the best for the first few days, so with everyone's agreement, we decided to roll the dice and cross the Gulf of Alaska to head towards Whittier. At that point, the weather became amazing, we did kayaking and had a 13,000 year old cocktail (Bourbon on Glacier ice). Who knew we would go to Alaska to get a tan? We spent the entire time cruising out on the deck getting sun. Captain Al and his team were wonderful hosts. I guess I could address every complaint that has been posted, but I'm not going to give it much credibility by spending any time on it. Yes, the boat is not brand new, but we had no issues on board (except the battery, but that's a little joke between Captain Al and us.). I can't speak to any of the other accommodations because we did not see or use them, but there were absolutely no complaints with ours. We are already considering the possibility of taking friends and going again some time. Thanks for everything Captain Al, En En and Christian! It was the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for being a part of it! Lori and Bob

Princess Cruise Tour

Princess Cruise Tour

Alaska has been my husband's dream destination for years. Well, he planned a 2-week trip to Alaska…read moreusing the Princess Cruise Line, but doing this "CruiseTour", with the help of cruise line travel agent. "CruiseTour" is where you combine the Alaskan Cruise, along with train, tour bus, lodge stays, etc.etc., making the trip very comprehensive...though definitely more complicated! Honestly, I would have preferred to go straight to the cruise ship and back...and skip all the hassles. HOWEVER. Here's the deal. I've mentioned in a previous review that I didn't care too much about the train ride TO Talkeetna (heading towards the 2 wilderness lodges) because of its weird dining rules, as well as disappointing views. On the way back from the lodges, we took a tour bus (luckily a big, comfy one!) to Whittier, where our ship awaited us. First of all, this tour bus as incredibly LONG...as in 9 hours, including a lunch stop!! I nearly had a fit the night before when I first realized it was going to be that long (my husband, not exactly the Master of Details) didn't realize this either when he planned out this entire trip. Well...luckily...the tour bus ride turned out to be somewhat of a blessing. The bus from Denali to Whittier took several bathroom breaks along the way (much to the relief of many older passengers, I bet!), and even a long lunch break in Anchorage. Best part? The views were SPECTACULAR!!! It was one picturesque scene after another...mile after mile, especially in the last hour, nearing the Whittier port. Even the long tunnel passageway leading to our cruise ship was magnificent. I would have NEVER thought I'd think this long of a ride would be worth it...but it was. Surprisingly, I liked it better than the much cooler train ride to Talkeetna. Also, the bus was pretty comfy all in all with good A/C. So YES, this may sound like a scary option in terms of the length of the ride...but if you want a good, long look at Alaska at its finest, it's actually a great option.
