Tracy Arm is probably our least favorite destination in Alaska. You rarely
get close enough to really see the glaciers.

I would likely not do another Alaska cruise that didn't include Glacier Bay
or Hubbard Glacier (which is our absolute favorite). Hubbard seems to be
the most active glacier, in terms of calving, and size. Normally the ships
get really close to Hubbard.

We have sailed on HAL, RCI and Princess in Alaska and I think Holland
America does the best job, and has the best viewable locations on their
ships.

I'm glad we saw Tracy Arm first. The naturalist said we got closer to
Sawyer Glacier than they had before, but I'm sure Glacier Bay will be
spectacular. Thanks.

Our cruise does Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm. I have read a bunch of trip
reports and I noticed that it seems a lot of times the ships can not go
into the Tracy Arm. But when they do get into the fjord on almost every
ship, every cruise line, they tell the passengers that it was the
closest the ship had ever gotten to the glacier!
