I've never been, but I hope you have a great time and please post some pics Smile

I've used Roadside America from time to time when I know I have a long, boring trip and need some local oddity to muse over for the next hundred miles or so. Most of the time I try and enjoy the local culture rather than visit the touristy stuff.

Not sure how much time you'll have, but sometimes booking tours with the cruise line is safest.

Bon Voyage! Safe travels to you and let us know how you liked it.

Stop in Juneau and see our resident poster Alaska. Meet him at the Red Dog Saloon.

Read a story recently where a family of 6 booked an excursion through the cruiseline (NCL). Their tour bus was late getting back to the ship and the ship left without them. Fast forward and going after the cruiseline, they got their money back, money off another cruise. Screw that. Screw me up once and it's never again. Matter of fact, the family is going to sue NCL. NCL stated that they will never leave a passenger behind if their ship booked excursion is late.

I walked in the Red Dog Saloon and turned around and walked out, what a tourist trap shit hole, sorry, not sorry

The Mendenhall Glacier was very cool though and enjoyed the short hiking trails there.

Is it a prerequisite to drink in Alaska?
