Is the Mendenhall Glacier worth seeing?
Is the Mendenhall Glacier worth seeing? Mendenhall Glacier is by far the most iconic and popular attraction in Juneau, and for good reason. Mendenhall Glacier is only about 12 miles from downtown Juneau, which makes it one of the most accessible in the entire state.
Is Juneau walkable from cruise ship?
Juneau is a very walkable city. Most cruise ships dock right in downtown, and visitors can leave the ship and walk all throughout downtown, shopping and exploring.
Can you leave cruise ship without excursion?
Guests are not obligated to book a shore excursion and free to explore ports of call on their own.
What happens if you miss all aboard on a cruise?
Find a port agent. In cases when cruisers are late returning to the vessel, the ship's crew will often remove the passengers' essential items -- passports, cell phones and medication -- from the ship to leave with the port agents. These officials can help you with contacting your ship and making travel arrangements.
