We were there two weeks ago. We wanted to see Mendenhall Glacier but made no arrangements prior to getting off the ship. I waved down a taxi and she took us (two of us) directly to the visitors center for about 75.00 which included admission. She gave us her phone number and to call her about 20 minutes before we were ready to leave. When we were ready to leave we called and she just happened to already be there as she had just dropped off some other people. Worked like a charm. Her name was Daring (quite unique) and she was a sweetheart. She is with Juneau Taxi and her number is 502.919.3191.

One morning on the Symphony I had spilled coffee on a pair of joggers. Sent them to be cleaned but they came back with a crisp crease down both legs. Who has creases on joggers/workout pants? I never thought I would have to ask that they don't put a crease on them as if they were dress pants, and I don't know if my request for no crease would be properly conveyed to the laundry people.

Today I called the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. I told them I was aware of that there was a limit on permits for tours to take you there as everything I looked at was booked. I told them I also looked at the "Blue Bus" but it there was no availability. The woman I spoke to said you can take a city bus but where it stops is still a mile away from the center. She suggested with taking a taxi or Uber. Although they still cannot take you directly to the Visitor Center, they can drop you off at "a" or "the" parking lot which is about a 1/2 mile walk. She also said they do not limit how many people can be there at one time and we wouldn't have any issue getting in. Its just the getting there part. So I guess we'll play it by ear once there and see if we can work out some type of arrangement with an Uber driver and see if we can agree to meet him/her at a certain time to take us back to port. Either way we won't be crushed if it doesn't work out.

Couldn't agree more. In my opinion that Tony is just full of himself and Don has some cloud constantly over his head having this problem or that problem in life.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Fortunately we did not book the suite expecting a Royal Genie. In fact it was the only suite left. It was when I saw that video it confused me so I thought I would ask here.

Since I don't have a youtube account someone posted that on my behalf.

5 months ago.

Well, the guy in the video says "it's a perk of this lovely room". So that's why I'm confused.

Again, that's is my understanding, so why did they have a genie? Here is the video of the room we booked.

I know! So why did they have a genie if they were in Sky class, or does Sky class get a genie as well?

We have booked a Sky Loft Suite on Quantum, suite 10322. I was looking at a youtube video of this exact suite and they had a genie. I thought a Sky Loft Suite was Sky class and only Star class gets a genie. That's why I am confused.
