Reservations for sight seeing tours??
I am planning on going to Alaska in late May via the ferry system. A couple questions. 1) is there any problem with moving things up so as to arrive in Skagway mid May. 2) Ive read somewhere that...

When we did the trip from Prince Rupert in 2009 we did a couple of tours and the only problem we had was a good many of the tours expect you to be aboard a cruise ship with their concierge making the reservations. We were still able to make the tours we wanted, mainly the Misty Fjords tour out of Ketchikan by getting reservations a few days in advance. Don't forget to get the Alaskan Tour Saver coupon book if you haven't already.
We stopped at each major island and didn't see the cost increase much because of the stops. With the exception of Sitka you will be passing each of those other ports on the way between Ketchikan and Juneau. You also will only be on the ship for five or six hours between stops (except for Sitka) and will not need a stateroom. The trip to Sitka did add a bit but was well worth it.
You are aware to make separate reservations for the MH and the toad? You do not want to pay for that five feet between them when you tow and there are times you will have to back up inside the ship and don't want the toad attached. At each boarding I drove the MH and the DW drove the Jeep.
That link above to Prince Rupert is to the start of our Alaskan time in our blog. You can peruse that blog to see what we did and where we stopped and camped.
