Thanks for the info. I have been on 2 Alaska cruises previously and have already seen Glacier Bay and Hubbard Glacier. I am scheduled to go to to Endicott Arm/Dawes Glacier on the NCL Bliss next May 2025. I know that I only have a 50/50 chance to see the Dawes Glacier. I picked this cruise because it goes to Sitka and Icy Strait Point which I have never been to before. I have also never been on the NCL Bliss so it will be a new ship for me.

Hi Lisa, thank you for watching! You made a great move by booking the Endicott Arm/Dawes Glacier cruise on the Bliss! You'll have a wonderful time. Fingers crossed you get to see Dawes Glacier! You'll enjoy Sitka and Icy Strait Point as well :)

Thank you for the valuable feedback.

This was a really informative video JT! I wish my Alaska cruise had gone to Glacier National Park… I guess I’ll just have to go again!😉

This is great info! Someone like me who has never gone and may only get one change will now not wait my experience on a glacier I really won’t be able to see close! Thanks!

I'm going Sept 11th on Quantum of the Seas and you know there is always room for you ...your old buddy MARK IN ARIZONA....

Thanks John and great recommendation! Although this suggestion may limit ship and cruise line options (because of the strict limit of just 2 ships per day), it is a much more fulfilling experience than Dawes and Endicott Arm. I've done Glacier Bay on Encore and Bliss in October and May, respectively, in the last year 2022/2023. As mentioned in the video, the Endicott Arm experience (mine was on Ovation of The Seas in August 2022) required a 4:30am getup to save observation seating in order to enjoy the entry, turnaround and departure. Anyone that sleeps past 7:30am the morning of the visit will miss the glacier entirely!

What month did you visit Glacier Bay? I'm thinking of going May. Although I hear it's not the best month but I see cruise deals offering free addt'l guests which is hard to resist.

Hi Roger, I've been to Glacier Bay a few times, once in July, August, September, and October. May/June is less expensive compared to July/August which is the peak, and September/October it is the least expensive. In May you will see snow most likely along with October :)

I would have love for you to speak slower. It is hard to understand you!!

I’ll try to remember that next time! Just a little excited sharing this info 😄 Thank you for watching!

A really good recommendation, JT, for first time cruisers like myself. You provide good evidence/video to back up your opinion. So thank you. However, I have to agree with @ABP-jy3hp. . . Please slow your delivery down a bit. I got the overall message but some words are unintelligible.
