I am going to be on the bliss this coming Saturday 27, so all information you provided is verygood

@@journeywiththejaneks we got a pound of the king crab and a pound of the snow crab. It was so delicious! I love your series such a different perspective than what we did. But we also had a child and older people in our group. I was hoping to see us in one of your videos😀.

Nice video....Red Dog was busy busy busy with just one ship in port. I can't begin to imagine what it is like with multiple ships in port!

Yes it was! We checked the opening time online and it said 11... apparently they opened earlier than that, because we had to wait for seats, and we got there at 11:05!

I've done two Alaska cruises with NCL and on both, we shut Juneau down for the season (it was late October, both times, first on Encore, then on The Sun). Both times we got the best docking slot right in town; I'm kind of surprised that since there were no other ships, you folks didn't get to sneak into the slot usually used for Princess or HA. This last cruise, the T-shirt shop was selling all remaining T-shirts for $5....it was great fun as I picked out shirts for everyone back home!

I was also very surprised they didn't move us to the close dock, wait until you see Ketchikan! That is so awesome about the t-shirts! We were debating doing the last cruise of the season, so this is really interesting. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for taking us along. Nice seeing the weather get better as the day went on.

It was HOT once the sun came out... and of course I had base layers on because it was FREEZING that morning. The problem was the time, we were there from 7 AM - 1 PM.

Hello! Thank you for your helpful videos. I've enjoyed them. Im going on my first Alaskan cruise on the Bliss Saturday. I was wondering for dinner, if they have a night where we have to dress up? I know on Carnival they have an elegant night. Thanks for your help!

I don't recall a formal night. Even if they do have one, it's always optional on Norwegian, with their freestyle cruising style.

Perils of Norwegian cruises in Alaska with alternate docks at some ports. Take an independent tour bus to Mendenhall Glacier

@journeywiththejaneks

Unfortunately they did not have the tours at the dock like usual, because it was so early in the season. But yes, last time I went, I was able to get a bus to Mendenhall. So anyone going later in the season should have no issue getting there!

Enjoyed this video. I will be on Bliss May 11 - 18. Did you have a Juneau attraction map that showed where everything is? How many steps did you walk from ship to DT and back?

I do not. I used an app called Adventure Labs to do all our walking tours. Once these daily vlogs are done, I'll be doing some tips and tricks videos, one of which will be explaining Adventure Labs.

Hello! From the port to downtown is a little over a mile long from that port and a slight incline walking up around 3:40 of the video. I hope this helps!

how did you return the book to the free library? you are supposed to take one, leave one.

@journeywiththejaneks

11 күн бұрын

That's not completely accurate. First question on the Little Free Library's FAQ's on their website: "A Little Free Library is a free book-sharing box where anyone may take a book or share a book. They function on the honor system. You do not need to share a book in order to take one. If you take a book or two from a little library, try to bring some to share to that same library, or another in your area, when you can." I was not expecting to find one, so I didn't bring a book to leave. But hopefully this video shows people that there is a Little Free Library, so other cruise guests can leave more books!

May I ask where in Juneau was the Fhilipo BBQ? Is it by the cruise ship or state capital?

It was near the Juneau town hall building! There was a park across the street, and it was right there. If you're walking the same way we did on the Sea Walk, you can't miss it.

@sierragriffin2227 I'm going to definitely do a video about it once I get through these daily vlogs! But if you want to look, there is an app called Geocaching, and within that there is something called Adventure Labs.

There are no tender ports but there are shuttles required in Ward Cove and Sitka. There is a shuttle offered in Juneau but it's walkable.
