Mt Robert's tram is the best thing in Juneau. Have been there twice on clear sunny days (very lucky).

Did you buy the tram ticket in advance? Can I buy when at the tram? I’m not sure how the weather will be so want to buy when we get there. Thanks

We did book them in advance as a shore excursion through the ship, but I don't think you need to. When we got there, there was no line and a ticket booth right on site. It might have been not busy because it was so cloudy, but I think you could still get tickets on the day of!

What month were you up there? I'm doing a quick 7 day Alaska, mid-June 2024. Could be dry, could be rain. I'll be going to Mendenhall, and the Nugget Fallas trail.

We visited in mid June in 2022, we picked June because the risk of rain is lower, but obviously still possible! We hope you have an amazing time!

We got in at 4pm! So hopefully you can make it! If it's booked through the ship, I think it would just leave whenever you dock! But if not, I would call them and just ask about options! It seems like the later in the cruse they better off they are getting, We didn't make it to icy strait point, but the cruise the week or 2 after us did!

Of the two Tram vs Mendenhall what was your favorite?

The Mendenhall glacier was by far better for us! But we also got kind of a crummy view from the top of the tram, so it is possible that if the view had been better that would have ranked higher. But getting the chance to see a glacier that close up really was amazing so I'd say Mendenhall!

The hike was pretty easy as far as incline goes, but it was over 2 miles round trip! We booked the Glacier Express that let's you arrive and depart whenever you like, they have set pick up times. I heard from someone on our ship that they booked through Princess and the excursion had a set pick up and drop off time, and they didn't make the hike because they didn't think they would have enough time, so if you want to take your own time, I recommend not booking with the cruise and booking directly with the express bus!

Hey guys loved your video. We are doing our first Alaska Cruise this summer and we are doing a little Cruise boat off our ship before we get taken to Port in Jueno so we wanted to either do that shuttle or a taxi so we can go quickly and get back quickly for the tram and town. We did subscribe and we are now new supporters can't wait to see more but sounds like covid happened so very sorry. We are new supporters hope to see you reach 1000 subscribers and celebrate. Thx again we are so excited to vlog Alaska!

Thanks again for taking us along on your adventure. It brought back so many good memories. I believe it must rain about every day in Alaska. We had the same weather you did. You got a lot closer to the waterfall than we did. That was great to see up close. Right there where the bear sign is, we saw a bear. When some idiot lit a cigarette, she took off running at top speed. Even before you made the announcement on the video, Hannah, I was certain that I could notice your fatigue. I'm so sorry that COVID reared its ugly head in the middle of your great adventure. One hopes you will have another occasion to make this wonderful trip.

We didn't see a bear, bit I am pretty sure we heard one, which is almost scarcer 😳 We definitely put Alaska back on our list maybe a year or two, but definitely need a chance to do it again the right way! We want to see Denali too, so worth making the trip again!

It was about a 2 mile round trip hike! We took the self guided bus tour so we would have enough time to do the hike at our own pace! We heard from others that they wouldn't have had enough time to make it out there if they were on an excursion. When are you going? We want to go back again soon!!

@Covita's Travel We booked the Glacier Express! It's basically like a shuttle to the Mendenhall Glacier and then you just get back on when you are done! I can't remember how much it was, but my guess is $60 ish per person!

We did end up missing two ports, Skagway and Victoria. We definitely want to head back to Skagway someday to ride the train, looks amazing, but our plan was to go whale watching in Victoria, and we were able to do that instead on a trip to Iceland! We were able to watch Glacier Bay from our cabin, so we couldn't have asked for a better place to be quarantined!
