Hi everyone! I’m planning an upcoming Alaska cruise and have three quick questions regarding medical insurance and evacuation coverage:

1. Recommended Providers: Which third-party companies or brokers do you recommend for an Alaska cruise?
2. GeoBlue Experience: Just to double-check, GeoBlue can be used for an Alaska cruise, correct? Does anyone know if GeoBlue covers emergency medical evacuation while on land at an Alaska port stop? If anyone has used them for this itinerary, I would love to hear your thoughts on their medical evacuation coverage and claim process.
3. Cruise Line Insurance: Does the cruise line's own protection plan adequately cover the high costs of helicopter or air ambulance evacuations up there?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I have a 6-hour cruise stop in Juneau and plan to rent a car at the pier.

Is it realistic to visit both Mendenhall Glacier and the Shrine of St. Therese in this timeframe? I do not know the exact driving times or how long each stop takes.

If this is too rushed, what closer alternatives would you suggest pairing with the glacier instead?

Thanks for any advice!
