    There is no road access into Juneau, so alot of locals have boats.
    If you are going later in season, whale watch tours are just as good, sometimes better because migration starts, in Victoria and half the price. You would see pods of whales, jumping everywhere, being playful and surrounding seal for bulking up for long journey. (I live here) Victoria has planes that search for pods and radio to tour where to go.
    We pull cash out in the casino from our obc. You can also have your grauities pd with obc.
    You can let ice cream melt in fridge, than add a shot of liqueur😊

    Awesome video! Of all the Alaska vlogs I’ve watched (and I’ve watched a few 😊) yours is the first that showed Juneau at night. Loved it! I’ll be there 9/22/24 and will have to check out The Hanger. Those tacos looked yummy. Where did you find the ice cream on the ship? I’ll have OBC to spend. 😉

    I’m so sorry you didn’t see more whales….when I’ve gone on whale cruises they were everywhere. I live here in Juneau and thought you did a great job showing off this place. Loved your Skagway vlogs as well. 0:01

      Thanks so much! I know it’s hit or miss, but I guess I expected the professionals to know where and how to find them. 🤷‍♀️
      I’m so jealous you live there! We’re considering retiring in AK we loved it so much. ❤️

    Hi! Thanks for sharing your Alaskan cruise experience with us. It is definitely on my bucket list. I will be going on my first ever cruise in November with Royal on Adventure of the Seas. I'm so glad for your channel because it has helped tremendously with the preparation and packing. I feel pretty confident as a first time cruiser! Thank you!!

    Loved Juneau! Cool town with amazing scenery. Don't feel bad about the whale watching. I did my whale watching excursion in Victoria and we only had a couple of sightings the whole time we were out there but we did see a ton of seals and sea lions and awesome views of course. Great tip on the local eating place. The food looked great. I'll have to check it out on the next trip up there. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi!! I’m really enjoying your Alaska videos. When we went to Alaska on the Ovation, the Fish & Chips was a Johnny Rockets and it was removed when the ship was based in China. ⚓️

    • @AllThingsWagner
      @AllThingsWagner  8 місяців тому

      I've NOT been impressed with JRs on the last few ships. ☹️ The price keeps going up, and food is smaller and less quality. Sounds like Fish & Ships was a good change!!

      I totally agree with you on Johnny Rockets! It used to be great years ago onboard but not anymore, but it’s actually better for breakfast on the Oasis class ships if you haven’t tried their breakfast do it, we love eating breakfast there a few times while onboard.

    I’m honestly more hopeful to see sea lions than whales… (we booked the whale watch that includes a stop on Sentinel Island, so the lighthouse will be nice too.)

    • @AllThingsWagner
      @AllThingsWagner  3 місяці тому

      We did see more sea lions on the islands then we saw whales in the ocean. Our cruise as you know was in September of last year. Many of the whales had moved south
