Is Juneau the only place for whale watching? Is there whale watching in Ketchikan or Skagway?

Yes, Juneau is the only place for whale watching of your list.

Depends. If your ship goes to Icy Strait Point, there's whale watching thre.
Chilkoot Charters in Skagway offers what they call a wildlife tour, which includes whales. But saince they are not specifically calling it a whale watch they are not gauranteeing you'll see whales. In Juneau the vendors guarantee you'll see whales.

Skagway is a poor area to go whale watching out of, The distance they have to go is much farther than Juneau. No where near the population of humpbacks concentrated like Auke Bay.
