Juneau help...am I crazy?

[Azfunseeker]

We will be in Juneau in June with the Radiance of the Seas and I really want to do the blue bus to the glacier, a 2.5 hour whale watch that has a morning or 1pm departure and the Mt. Roberts tramway. Am I crazy or is this doable? We get in at 7am (guessing not much is open quite that early) and leave at 8:30.

I'll bet it can be done if you do the glacier first, come back and go up on the tram then do the afternoon whale watching. Easy!

I think you can do it all. Make tram decision that day because if it's not clear, no point in going up there.

From what you've said, it appears that you have a 12 hr day in Juneau. You have plenty of time for that itinerary AND MORE!

Your furthest excursion is Mendenhall and that's about 30 minutes away.

 

Have a look at AryMay's blog from 2014 (june entries). They had a 12 hr day in Juneau so they went whale watching, took a rental car to Mendenhall, then drove out to the coast for a few hours. They planned to do the Tram before returning to the ship but it was too foggy.
