Sorry the wifi has been terrible. I try and post things and it sits forever. 

 

Big news today is we are missing our port of call at Skagway due to a mudslide that has damaged the peir we would dock at. So instead we are heading to the Endicott Arm and Dawes glacier today and we'll have a full day in Juneau tomorrow instead of being there from 2pm to 8pm we'll be there 8am to 7pm. 

 

I called the company I booked my excursion with who is in Skagway said the mudslide was pretty bad and dock is pretty bad too. Again that's her words, not mine. We were almost there, maybe an hour to go and the ship did a 180, thought maybe he was showing both side of the ship the scenery, but nope he kept going south. 

 

If I hear anything else, I'll let y'all know

Looks like it was a near miss to the Discovery Princess.

We were on Quantum in Skagway on May 19. You can see Discovery Princess in this photo on the right. Quantum had just left the berth behind Discovery Princess. You can also see the area of a previous slide that now has a huge catch fence at the bottom of it. From the linked article, it looks like the middle area on the hill is what came down.

Following as we are on Quantum in August. Will be sad to miss the train, but at least a day in Juneau wouldn’t be awful.

 

Have you happened to see if there is a GF section labeled in WJ?

I'm on Quantum now and saw a whole gluten free section of the WJ!
