We went on the Mears Glacier cruise with Stan Stephens on 7/14/2019 ! We were the only family on board with small children . The staff was absolutely outstanding. Most of them appeared to be Highschool or college age kids and they were so attentive and entertaining. Halfway through the cruise the little ones got restless and they were right on top of it bringing crayons and coloring pages and asking if they wanted to sit in the captains chair etc Besides all of this I have to give them a HUGE shoutout catering to my dietary needs . I have celiac disease and so avoiding wheat and gluten is a must for me . I am always prepared and brought my own lunch and snacks . When lunch was being served I told them I had celiacs and without missing a beat the young lady announced “ oh I can do gluten free “ . Not only was I able to eat lunch with everyone else they even had a soup just for me when a snack was served a few hours later . I was and am still highly impressed ! Way to go Stan Stephens and crew ! I would also like to mention that unlike some of their competitors they do offer a discounted admission for children which was very much appreciated . Thank you for a wonderful time !

We had a great day on our cruise - after the fog lifted! The captain (Amanda) was great - lots of useful information but lots of quiet time too (I was a little nervous that we would have to listen to someone droning on for 9 hours ...) The young crew were helpful and polite - they did a great job serving everyone. The glacier is amazing and the hump back whales, otters, sea lions and seals were a delightful bonus!

Went on this tour as part of our RV Alaska Tour. The Captain was very knowledgeable about the area and the animals. We were expecting a snack for lunch and was surprised to be served a full dinner meal. At the end as we were heading back to port we were served clam chowder. This was a great time spent on Prince William Sound.
