Juneau, Alaska Port Reviews

Juneau it self was great, the only thing I didn’t like was where our ship was docked. Had to take a bus from the port to town.

We walked to then rode the gondola up to the top. The views and the hike were amazing. We enjoyed the film presentation about the local Alaskan people up at the top of the gondola.

I'm only giving Juno 3 stars only because my Excursion to Mendenhall Glacier and Gold Belt tram was modified. NCL exceed the number of giests allowed to tour Mendenhall Glacier. I did receive a %50 refund. We were taken to a nature trail 2 miles from the Glacier. It was nice but not what I originally planned. Why was this point that some Cruisers who booked after me still got the full Glacier experience and I didn't booking almost a year ago. However the Gold Belt Tram portion was awesome. We were ascending just as the sun was setting. I was able to get some beautiful shots of the sunset and our ship down below. I did buy a few souvenirs from the gift shop. We also had a couple of local Alaskan beers at the bar. We just send it on the last tram going down and hit the T-shirt shop that was open. It was a zoo because they had a huge end of the season sale. I collected some stickers, a couple of shot glasses and a really nice sweatshirt at a steep discount. When in Port I would turn my phone off of airplane mode so I can catch up with my text messaging.

Take the tram----buy shirts at Alaska Shirt Company.

We went to the salmon bake for an excursion. It wasn't as good as it had been in the past. We wanted to ride the tram but it was 50 dollars which we felt was too expensive. Great experience though just walking around the town.

Little bit better than the other ports but much the same as far as excursions, shopping, eating and the like

Pretty port

We did the salmon bake in Juneau and enjoyed it. NCL's Alaska cruises go to the end of October, ours was the second to last of the season. Since other cruise lines end their Alaska season in the middle of September, many of the shops at all our ports were closed for the season.

I didn't see much of the town, I took a whale watching excursion in the morning and an excursion to see the Dawes Glazier. It was a beautiful day.

Very easy to walk city,this was our 14th Alaska cruise, but if you get the chance go to Mendenhall glacier
