Alaska 2013 Excursion Times

[Aby]

I would be ever so grateful if people would be willing to share excursion times for the 2013 Alaska season on DCL. I personally am interested in the August cruises, but I'm sure others would be interested in having this information available as well.

In particular, I am looking for excursion times for the following:

Alaska Whales and Rainforest Trails (Juneau)
Alaska Whales and Glacier Photo Safari (Juneau)
Alaska Whales and Science Adventure (Juneau)
Neets Bay Bear Watch by Floatplane (Ketchikan)

Thank you in advance to anyone who willing to look these up for me!

I checked this morning and here's what was listed. I'm not sure if the sold out times are already off the website. We have the July 29th cruise and are within the 90 day booking window.

Alaska Whales and Rainforest Trails: 7:45, 8:30, 10:45 (5-5.5 hours)
Alaska Whales and Science Adventure: 8:00, 8:45, 11:00 (5-5.5 hours)
Neets Bay: 12:30, 2:00, 3:30 (3-3.5 hours)

We don't have the Alaska Whales and Photo Safari option.

Tsunami, did you get those times from the Disney website? If so, would you tell me where to go on the site to get that information? My cruise is the 2nd week in August so I'm not able to book excursions yet through Disney. The only thing I see under the Port Adventures is the description and total time of the trip but would love to be able to see the times available in advance to help plan our trip. Thanks.

Once you are within your booking window, you'll be able to see the times for excursions for your specific cruise. Tsunami was able to see the times because they are within their booking window now.

Thanks sayhello! Any chance that anyone within the booking window can tell me if the following excursions have any times available right now? That way, if not, I can make other similar arrangements through a local company and I can do it now in order to ensure I get the tours I want. Disney makes it really hard to plan by not showing you available times before your booking window opens. Thanks much for any assistance!

Skagway Thursday August 15 - "Glacier Lake Kayak and White Pass Rail Adventure"
Juneau Friday August 16 - "Pilot's Choice Glacier Explorer"

I don't understand why DCL does it that way. They're the only cruiseline I know that does. I have a cruise booked with RCCL in 9 months, and I could book my excursions today if I wanted to.

Other cruise lines also charge you for an excursion on the day you book it, whereas Disney lets you book without charging you a cent until you've actually done your excursion. That's probably one of the reasons they don't let you book too far out.

Thank you guys for looking the times up for me - I really appreciate it! I know that the times probably won't be exact for my cruise but it still gives me an idea of how many choice there are and whether they are early or late.

But they'll give you a full refund if you cancel it. I'd much rather book and pay for my excursions ahead of time, then wait for DCL's ridiculous window.
