the crazy biochemist

OK I tend to book the Phillips cruise because of College Fjord. What about weather? Can it be foggy enough that you can't see the glaciers (and waste your money...) In all the cruise brochures they show you pics taken on a bright sunny day. But what is it really like there?

And now to the Kenai cruise? What's the chance of spotting whales in Resurrection Bay vs. the longer full day cruise into the N.P. ??

Thanks for the replies. Edward, I plan to go to Seward right after the cruise from Whittier, and am thinking to take another cruise from there- either Resurrection bay or full day- focusing on spotting marine wild life.

But as far as glacier sightseeing is concerned- wouldn't Prince William Sound be a better option than Kenai, since in the latter you get to see only one glacier up close and on a potentially rough sea which could lead to cancellation of the cruise ?

I am planning to take a glacier cruise out of Whittier early

September. I can't make up my mind between the Phillips 26 glacier

cruise and Major Marines cruise. The first one costs more but you

get to see more glacier. The second costs less and there are less

glaciers. The duration of each cruise is about the same.

Can anybody help me decide?
