SE Alaska has some of the greatest tidal fluctuations in the world... I've seen over 30 feet of difference between high and low tide every 6 hours. I don't know of any port that can use a straight gangway for more than an hour or so... each dock has a set of stairs used at different times. Then there's the problems that come with tendering. The ship schedule at www.claalaska.com now has the berthing assignments posted, so that might be a good place to start looking. It might also be worth contacting the cruise line directly to enquire whether or not your scooters will be a help or a burden.Happy Alaska Travels!-Case
