Alaska excursion question

We are going on a cruise in September. It’s a 7 day cruise, but only had 3 actual ports.
I went on a similar cruise about 15 years ago with my parents and we did an excursion through Ketchikan I believe. It was a helicopter ride on top of the glacier. I can’t seem to find it on one of the offered excursions. I’m sure it was an outside tour but can’t find much online. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Wife and I have done the helicopter glacier in Juneau and Skagway. Did not offer one in Ketchikan that I remember.

We booked the Neets Bear Encounter in Ketchikan (Ward Cove) early in September.

We did ours out of Juneau ages ago and loved it. That and the don't feed the bear signs in the middle of the town were highlights.

In Juneau we did the whale watching tour around Shelter Island combined with Mendenhall Glacier. Another time we did Mendenhall Glacier combined with a salmon cookout along the river. Both were fun but I recommend the whale watching.
In Skagway we took the all day train ride into the Yukon Territory. Highly recommended.
I have been to Ketchikan twice and mostly just hung around town. The Lodge on top of the hill is a good place to hang out.
Beware of one thing. There is a house of ill repute on the boardwalk but when you buy a ticket to go in you find out that it is some kind of fricking museum.

We did some boat trip to an island and wildlife excursion. It looked more interesting than the ax throwing or totem poles. Took a bus to a boat, boat to an island, walked around a rainforest, ate some crab and took a boat ride to see some seals and eagles and stuff. Decent time overall.

I'm going in September as well so let's keep this thread going. I plan on renting a Juneau and driving to the mendhall glacier and I need to find some other places to go.
Question do you have to book excursions beforehand or will they be available after you get off the ship?
