Alaska Radiance of the Seas info anyone??

I am going on the 7 night Alaskan cruise in September with my Aunt. She is 76, but fairly spry. I would like to book some excursions, but I am wondering which ones might be good for those of us who don't want to go flying in helicopters, seaplanes, go canoing/kayaking, or heaven forbid-glacier climbing! I would definately like to do a some whale, walrus or other wildlife watching, and hope that some one can steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance of any assistance or direction you can provide!

My wife and I are going on the Radiance in August. We're going to be taking the "White Pass Scenic Railway" out of Skagway. It's a 3.5 hour round trip train trip through the mountains outside of Skagway. It's supposed to pick you up and drop you off right at the dock.

I did the train ride 5 years ago (hard to believe). It's a wonderful trip. You will pick up the train at the dock. If you have a choice of early morning or afternoon trip, take the afternoon. Our September morning train-trippers had a cold, foggy, snowy time. By the time we went at 1:00, the weather was beautiful. In Juneau, the tram up Mt. Roberts was a nice excursion also. It's walkable from where you dock. There's a small nature walk and a nice little museum and movie at the top. I do believe our Alaskan cruise was my favorite, and would definitely do it again.
