I am reliving my Alaska cruise thanks to your wonderful thread. Are they still offering the boozy coffee drinks out on the decks? I wasn’t out on the deck during transit up Endicott Arm so can’t tell. We viewed most of it from the warmth and security of our room. 🙂. I know, I know, that is soft. DW isnt quite the winter warrior that I am. Edited August 28, 2021 by Tree_skier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgregel Posted August 28, 2021 #252 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'm doing a similar tour in Juneau through the ship, Mendenhall Glacier, Whale Watching & Wildlife Quest. Hoping for good weather. i think this tour will be the best of the ones I have booked. So glad you had a great tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gave me hours to do as many trails as I wanted I saw a kiosk selling tickets for the bus ride that were$12 per person. However, I wouldn’t have traded that whale watching for anything. I’m probably ruined for whale watching in the future. Nothing could ever live up to what I just saw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt realize the whale watching was part of that tour. We got to see many whales that were playing and I loved seeing them so much. If seeing the whales was why they only gave you a hour, yep, priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbeyg Posted August 28, 2021 #262 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I’m so glad you guys had a stellar experience whale watching, and the weather held off for you! Nothing like the rush of seeing a whale breach, is there? 😁❤️ Edited August 28, 2021 by barbeyg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a library per se, and I’m not sure if there are even any books there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time did your tour start? Ovation supposedly doesn't arrive Juneau until 2:00pm. The ship excursion starts at 2:45 to 8:00pm. And ship will leave at 9:00.

We were supposed to leave Juneau at 915 but because of inclement weather we were forced to leave at 7. They shaved a few minutes off our tour because of that. You and your great husband will love it. Hopefully, you weather is better and don’t run into the challenge we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted August 29, 2021 Author #272 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Back in the R bar, which has become my favorite place to hang out on this cruise, quite quiet still with so many still off the ship.

Better drink a few more and get your money's worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
