Alaska Glacier Viewing Timing

[katiec786]

Hello!
We are sailing on the Wonder in May and I just got done booking our various excursions and activities.
We were really keen to do one of the mixology courses (my husband loves playing bartender when we have friends over) but the only slot available was 3-4pm on glacier day, when we’re booked onto the glacier explorer at 4:30.
For those of you who have done the glacier explorer, is this manageable? I wasn’t sure if the glacier explorer booking required us to be somewhere ahead of 4:30.
Any wisdom appreciated!

In general, for ship excursions, you are required to gather ahead of time, usually in one of the theaters, to check in. It is usually around 30 minutes before the excursion leaves-give or take. It has been a bit since I have done this excursion-we did it in 2018-so I don't remember the exact timing, and we are returning to Alaska this year and plan on doing it again. You can keep the tasting and leave early if needed or try and reschedule at a different time. We loved this excursion and would not miss it for a tasting.

Thank you! I thought that would probably be the case - fortunately it looks like they’ve already added another Mixology to the schedule so I’ve been able to move it to our Juneau day after we leave port.
Cannot wait for this trip, its our honeymoon and a total bucket list holiday!
