Alaska Cruise update.
I purchased the Tamron 18-400mm lens. It is made for my Canon t5i aps c camera and gives me a wide zoom range. I will leave the Canon 100-400 at home but still plan to take the ultra wide 11-16 lens. Any help with settings to get best glacier photos would be appreciated. I have no idea on how to shoot snow and ice as I live in Florida.
Thank you all your help is wonderful.

We may be on the same cruise, leaving Sept 4th from Vancouver. I will bring a 24-240, 18-35 and 150-600 lens. Maybe i'll see a lady with a Canon T51 on deck....
Have a good trip.

Sorry, we will be on different cruises. Mine leaves Seattle on Sept. 15th. Otherwise would have enjoyed meeting you.

Those are your own lenses, you know exactly what you get out of each one, so how can someone else make that decision for you?
Because I have never been to Alaska or on a cruise ship before, so I don't know what to expect. I know UHH members will provide me with a lot of helpful information on both aspects of my trip.

Your photo is beautiful. Having live on the Oregon Coast for more than 30 years before moving to Florida, I agree the area from Seattle south to Monterey Bay is beautiful.

I agree Barry, I have to use what I already have. Being a widow on fixed income paying for the cruise and flight leaves no dollars to purchase another lens with. I too just shoot for my own enjoyment.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I am going to take the 18-250 and the 100-400 for sure, if space allows I will also take the 11-16 ultra wide. I am going to be on deck 8, the navigation deck at the front of the ship. I do plan to roam all over the ship to get photos.

I'm taking an Alaska Cruise Sept 2019. I will be in a balcony unit on the 7 day cruise. I am trying to decide what lenses I should take. I have a Canon T51 camera. Lens are Sigma 18-250 EF, Tokina Ultra Wide 11-16 Pro, Canon EF 100-400 Pro and a Canon EF 70-300. Space is limited so I only want to take 2 lenses. But never having been on a cruise before I don't know which 2 would be best. The ship does go into Glacier Bay which is one place I really want to get good photos of. Also I plan to take a helicopter/glacier walk tour in Juneau during the port stop there.
Thanks,
Suzanne

What a wonderful series. I envy you the experience. I've never been up in a chopper. The last time I was up in a single engine airplane, a bolt on the crank shaft broke and riddled the engine. We had to make a crash landing. Haven't even thought of going up in a single engine since. I don't know if I could get over this and go up in a chopper or not.
I was real nervous at first because I had never been in a chopper. But our pilot was very good at making us all feel at ease and did a great preview of all the safety features on the chopper in a video prior to boarding and again once we boarded the chopper. By time we lifted off my fears seemed to have disappeared. I would definitely do it again.
