  1. Only to buy stuff, you can buy at dock
  2. When in Juneau you can see them out in mud flats at low tide in town
  3. OLD days, used to go out to the dump, bears galore
  4. Been 22 times Alaska, not carnival or Norwegian best trip is RT Vancouver port, time in port important, arrive and depart. You should do 28 glacier out of Whittier, Juneau has 8 hour excursion if in port by 8am and don’t leave till after 5pm. Balcony is great but you will be missing what is going on other side all day long, cure is to plant on area of viewing inside ship that lets you see both sides, then go out for photos etc, warmth is also great. Skagway is nice if there early and leave late, train-so so, good experience but more of outdoor is private excursion up the canyon and beyond ,maybe even to Carcross and beyond,too much to tell you, have to have a couple hours over lunch to give you the plus and minus of trip. Leaving Seattle is too long out to sea, no inside much there
  5. Been Whittier 3 times, taken that 26 glacier tour each time, WELL WORTH the money, see more stuff-DO IT
  6. Don't they SELL case of water on ship for your cabin anymore?
  7. As far as Alaska cruise, been on 22 of them, diff. ships, ports, times of year, you NEVER know what the weather is like till you are THERE we have found
  8. SPRING-weather is usually unstable, whereas FALL is mostly stable going into it, maybe that is why People living near beach in Oregon know this
  9. Found Ipod years ago, wife said turn it in, reflecting on that hour later, went back to purser where turned in, he said they have no Ipod and none turned in, Hmmmmm
  10. Look, those people working at loading are union workers, many getting PAID over 100K just to do their job of LOADING luggage on to the carts, used to be signs around loading area telling you this
  11. that happened to me as the agent did not charge final, I caught it days later and she got it fixed but in meantime I lost the cruise
  12. do the 28 glacier cruise when in Whittier, worth every penny
  13. Having taken 22 cruises there from Oregon over the years, expect anything but will be cooler than July but then again had Sept. weather for a week in July. ENJOY whatever you get
