Juneau Alaska | 2023 | Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier Morning, Mendenhall Glacier & Whale Watching

It’s time for our final port in Alaska: Juneau!
But before we arrived, we had a truly spectacular morning sailing up the Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier! The views were absolutely stunning - and completely made having a balcony worth it!
After arriving in Juneau around 1pm, we met our excursion group on board and disembarked together. We did the “Mendenhall Glacier, Whale Watching & Wildlife Quest” excursion through Royal Caribbean and it was a jam packed day!
We first did about a 3 hour whale watching tour, which was so much fun. Even the boat ride itself was a blast and had such scenic views. We saw plenty of whales, sea lions, seals, bald eagles, and more!
We then headed over to the Mendenhall Glacier, which was beautiful. We did the mile hike to nugget falls (pretty easy walk!) to take in the beautiful waterfall. There is a lot to do here but we had about an hour.
After the excursion ended, we briefly explored the port of Juneau and bought some souvenirs before heading back onto the ship. Be sure to watch the end of the video - we give a lot of great tips and share helpful information for planning your visit to Juneau. And you’ll see our excitement seeing Dolphin’s while in our room.

    You two remind me of my husband and me. We're sailing on Discovery Princess to Alaska in a little over two weeks. I'm a planner and I want to maximize our time in each port. We're booked on the whale watching and Mendenhall Glacier excursion excursion that you did. Can't wait!

    Hello, enjoyed yr video so much. Wanted to ask were there any independent tours in port at Juneau and skagaway? Was thinking that would be a better option as far as price…

    I always recommend booking through the cruise for excursions. Only want to have peace of mind the ship won’t leave without you if you are late!

    So glad this popped up. I am going to Alaska this summer. Endicott Arm & Dawes is one of the ports I will see. I am sure this is the most beautiful, breathtaking scenery. Going on the Ovation of the Seas! Can't wait to go! How did you like the cruise? Any tips or advice for me. TIA.

    Thank you for watching! It really is incredible scenery and was one of our favorite vacations. We have a lot of Alaska tips that we summarized here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2em0baDeqS_d9Y.htmlsi=aiJkBSkEG_P04ebV. In addition, we would say to remember to stop and actually take in the scenery. We were taking a lot of photos and videos and needed to remind ourselves to just enjoy it. Have a great time!

    @@ACoupleTravelers Definitely. I will stop and enjoy a little bit of everything. Plan to buy a new camera soon and take plenty of pictures. I will scrapbook my whole trip to Alaska that came 49th state 65 years ago. I was born in 1959. Perfect timing to go and explore and enjoy my 65th birthday. (2 months early).

    We were thinking of taking the small tour boat from the ship to Dawes Glacier but If we take the Mendenhall Glacier and Whale tour, do you think it is necessary to do the small tour boat from the ship to Dawes Glacier as well

    If it’s like our sailing, there wasn’t time to do both (it conflicts!) but if timing allows, I think it’s worth it to do both!!

    Yes, people are meant to! There is one excursion that holds a very small amount of people, but this is meant to be viewed from your ship and then we head to Juneau where people get off…

    Such a cool excursion! We sailed to Alaska on the cruise right after you and absolutely adored out time. We seriously can't wait to sail again. We vlogged our experience too and we'd love it if you checked out our videos as well. Thanks so much for sharing - new subscriber here! :)
