Did you guys leave early today? Everything I have with a schedule shows a departure at 530pm. When I looked at the webcam at 5pm she was already gone. ☹️

Just noticed that the highway sign has the ship name! That must've been exciting. 😁 Great timing getting on board! What kind of cabin did you book?

I'm not sure if this will be of interest to you, but directly in front of the ship on the other side of that basin there's a platform barge with one of the SpaceX rocket modules sitting on it, plus a couple of other SpaceX vessels.

Oops, my bad. The growlers are in the water. Not a lot of them, but they are there. "There are smaller pieces of ice known as “bergy bits” and “growlers.” Bergy bits and growlers can originate from glaciers or shelf ice, and may also be the result of a large iceberg that has broken up. A bergy bit is a medium to large fragment of ice. Its height is generally greater than three feetbut less than 16 feet above sea level and its area is normally about 1,076-3,229 square feet. Growlers are smaller fragments of ice and are roughly the size of a truck or grand piano. They extend less than three feet above the sea surface and occupy an area of about 215 square feet." - NOAA

And, in case you were wondering, you're at Terminal 10...😁

Sneaking in at 5am this morning...😁

I'm sure that Perspective Studio portrait isn't cheap! Looking at those screen grabs In my post I now see some sort of traffic cone looking thing in the middle of the medivac dot, so that explains that. 👍

Nice! 👍🏻

Watched the Norwegian Bliss bridge cam as she neared the turnaround point of Endicott Arm, looks amazing! What's the Red Carpet for?

This may be a crazy ask, but do you remember if there is cell phone service here? Thought maybe it would be a good place to post cruise updates without using the ships Wi-Fi.

Had my FAS Unlimited Open Bar beverage packages removed from both segments of my 2025 B2B. Travel agent called and there were no problems at all.

It's quite literally my first time really ever paying attention to NCL, and what their ships do. 😉 Been focused on Alaska (again) since booking my 2025 repositioning cruise back in January. Find it all quite fascinating. 😁

I'm sure this happens all the time. Norwegian Encore arrived about an hour early today into Juneau, Norwegian Bliss still docked at the AJ Dock. But it was quickly vacated as Bliss backed out on-time and Encore slipped right in before the berth could get cold. It was cool to watch on the Juneau webcams. 😁

Me, an old Quartermaster Navy veteran who smiled at this, brought back a lot of old memories. 🥰

I think maybe the singular exception for Juneau that's sold as an NCL Excursion is the Goldbelt Tram, which is basically an 'access ticket' that can be used at any time - "Tickets allow unlimited rides throughout the day and reservations are not required."
