We actually rebooked our cruise to an earlier date just so we could get the dog sleds booked. We haven't heard of any cancellations so im assuming we're still good.

 

Don't assume - call them.  Note that I said call and not email them.  Once they give you an answer ask that they confirm it in writing.  Businesses in the travel industry have been known to occasionally manipulate the truth.

This is exactly why we want AK to be our next cruise. Between fires all over the world, glaciers melting, sea levels rising, etc - you just never know when the thing you really want to see will suddenly be gone. 
Travel any chance you get!

Anyone know what the status of the Juneau port stop is right now?

 

The port is nowhere near the glacier so my guess is the port stop is unaffected.

Go through the different tour companies that sound like the tour that you have booked. Pick the one that sounds closest and call them.  One would assume that all the companies that do similar tours will be impacted or not impacted in the same way.

I would have a backup plan.
