Pros: Mendenhall Glacier, friendly locals Cons: Rainy much of the year, too many t-shirt stores
We visited Juneau as part of a cruise trip in August 2006. When we visited Juneau, we had typical Alaskan weather: cold and really, really rainy on a 50 degree day. This of course, colored our trip somewhat. However, we still enjoyed ourselves and ...
Pros: Breathtaking beauty of the glacier Cons: Shortness of time to tour
On our recent cruise to Alaska we had the opportunity to visit Juneau for several hours. The Sky Princess (see previous review on the ship) docked at about 7:00am and we had until 6:00pm for organized tours or to venture out on our own. We opted for an...
Pros: Great outdoor opportunities, Pizzeria Roma Cons: A little hurried on busy cruise ship days
Alaska is noted for its mosquitoes, but it has a far worse pest problem. They slowly come up and land, and then not-so-discreetly they start to harvest their sustenance to get them through for the next twenty-four hours. In only a short period of time, ...
Here's a refreshing thought. If you just can't stand your weather at the moment, go to any of the many online weather services (Yahoo, AOL, Excite, etc.) and type in "99801". I did it just now, and got four-of-a-kind. Four days of rain, the forecast...
Pros: supreme vistas, tram ride, flight seeing Cons: fog and rain frequently ruin the flight seeing tours
The opposite of the Accidental Tourist is the Deliberate Tourist, and when your cruise ship pulls in to Juneau, you'll already have your plan in mind. The following highlights the shopping that I did, and the tours that I took, and is by no means the...
Pros: Incredible Views - Incredible Dogs. A once in a lifetime experience! Cons: All good things must end.
I looked into those big blue eyes, and I saw desire, I saw longing. The first kiss took me by surprise. It was a hot, wet, sloppy kiss – right on the lips. Before long we were down in the snow cuddling. We didn’t care that others were watching; we...
Pros: beautiful community with lots to offer Cons: expensive
Juneau, a town between the ice fields, and the ocean. Offering visitors many things to do, including - fishing, hiking, biking, camping, world class skiing & snowboarding, sightseeing, and the only glacier with road access. The downside, it is a very...
Pros: Spectacular Natural Beauty Cons: Costs may be a bit high, but fair enough for the natural beauty

Pros: Very beautiful. nice people, lots to do. Cons: Very expensive
Our Trip To Juneau
My husband and I have lived near Anchorage, Alaska, for 25 years. We have never visited SouthEast Alaska. A few months ago my hubby gave up his seat on an over booked Alaska Airlines flight, and received 2 free tickets...
Pros: beautiful, fun, friendly people Cons: we were only there for one day
We traveled to Alaska by cruise ship in May and one of our stops was in Alaska's capital city of Juneau. It was a sunny and about 55 degrees so we couldn't have asked for a better day.
Since we were traveling by cruise ship we had access to...
Pros: Postcard views everywhere. Cons: No cons if you have good footwear.
Due to the nature of the terrain, hiking trails in the Juneau area are necessarily the trails of gold miners, Tlingits, (the largest local native American tribe,) and wildlife. Everything on foot used the same trails. Bears are an infrequent presence on...
Granted I have always wanted to see Alaska. I read about it when I was young and dreamed about it when growing up, thus, I was elated when my Father-in-Law gave us an Alaskan Cruise for our wedding gift.
Pros: educational, family fun, exciting, got gold pieces Cons: took up most of the day
During an Alaskan cruise, my mother suggested one of our excursions include panning for gold. My sister and I thought this a rather lame idea, but as my mother had paid for the trip and the excursions, we were probably going to do what she wanted. So...
