Visiting Juneau, Alaska via Cruise Ship for the FIRST TIME! Royal Princess Cruise Vlog

[@PlumberryPuppet]

My family did the Turo thing on our cruise back in 2019. We'd never been to Alaska before, so maybe we didn't make as good use of it as you did. But other family members wanted to do some basic, boring errands so it helped with that. Plus it meant we could go to the Safeway where we could buy an Alaska Starbucks You Are Here mug.

[@nathalieC250]

Adam and Sherri, first off thank you for postings. Yours are the only videos that completely cover all you need to know about the ship (including query areas, how the medallion, ordering in medallion, etc), the ports, etc. I had to watch a lot of videos to get all that info that you provide in just one video. 👏 You also provide amazing info on each port that I never heard of from all the other vloggers or even in our excursions when we were on the Princess Crown a month ago. So bravo again. I really enjoy your channel. Finally, we didn't have the Karaoki Madness on the Crown Princess last month, just the regular one singer Karaoki. I agree that the one you got to watch looked liked loads of fun.

If you loved Nugget Falls, you should really try making your way to Iceland. The waterfalls there are stunning! We went to Iceland in 2022 and can’t wait to go back.

[@Halivan]

Haha, yes, that Karaoke session was awesome!

[@LeggLife]

It was so over the top! Ha! We loved it!

[@bethrocity]

im so glad you posted this. I am now rethinking my time in Juneau

[@glendalongan2729]

We both laughed…. Better than Plastic Disney medals! Princess has the best prizes and yes, Princess Karaoke is a blast! They are starting the Voice of the Ocean on some ships. Now that is FUN!

If you look at first close up of nugget falls on the right rock wall is a person's face. Pretty cool.

Libby Riddles was on my alaska cruise in 2019 as well! So glad i attended her talk.

[@lindalawrance4184]

I would love to go to Alaska with the hubby. Love watching your video. Gave me lots of ideas on we’re yo go. Thanks!

[@ldeglian]

What a great day! Thanks for the idea of renting a car. We have done several cruises in Alaska so have done many of the excursion type activities. But I would sail Alaska every summer if I could....and this is definitely happening on our next cruise! So many places we want to see that we just can't with a pre-set excursion!

[@LeggLife]

Yes; that’s exactly why we love renting a car! It lets you get to all of the places you want, on your own time!

[@claudiabenham2977]

When you visited the fudge store, I laughed because on our travels down south, there's a billboard advertising Uranus Fudge Factory.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I really loved my cruise to Alaska and when in Juneau we went up to Mendenhall glacier, shopping in downtown and of course stopped for a wonderful coffee. I didn’t know about the St Theresa place which looks so beautiful. I guess we should have done more research before we went. Each town where we stopped was so unique and interesting that we enjoyed just strolling through the streets and finding the gems we discovered.

[@jessicamturner4740]

Juneau has changed a lot since I was there with my family in 2009 during an Alaskan Cruise with Royal Caribbean onboard Serenade of the Seas. Royal Princess indeed a Beautiful cruise ship. Thank you for sharing. Definitely I will re do Alaska! It’s an amazing experience.

[@rosemichel7559]

Being born and raised Catholic, I appreciate the shrine so much. Thanks for showing us Juneau, going at end of August and love to plan with looking at your content.

[@atrueshakespeare]

Born and raised in Juneau!! So glad you can show me what it looks like now! My first job was the Barnoff. And second was the Alaskan hotel.

[@ciadaclark9110]

Lunch break with wonderful Adam and Sherri Beth love y'all

[@LeggLife]

Thank you so much for watching and for always being so supportive :)

[@the5leggs]

What a fun day for you guys in Juno. I love that all of you are having your kind of vacation. Lots of rest,calm and relaxing but also loud singing and lots of people. Perfect vacation for an introvert and an extrovert. Thanks again for sharing you vacation with us all.

[@itschristmasliketheholiday453]

And Boo was looking up cruises during this vlog. lol An Alaskan cruise is definitely a bucket list event for him.

[@carlasander2722]

I loved that video! Juneau is beautiful! Those places you visited were just stunning! And the karaoke seemed to be very amusing! Oh yeah, congratulations on winning the trivia 😊

[@LeggLife]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@nanasunite]

I am a new subscriber! I found your channel while looking for Alaska Cruise videos. Adam., you seriously do THE BEST job narrating your cruise and your wife seems so sweet!!!! We leave for Fairbanks in the morning for our land portion of our trip and board the Royal Princess on July 2. Thank you for all the great info you are sharing from your cruise.

[@diannegerspacher4889]

Thanks for the coverage of Juneau. Our Royal princess cruise August of 2019 we couldn't dock due to bad weather! 🙁 We had 3 excursions cancelled! Was able to recoup our advance payments tho. I want to go back to Alaska again and see Juneau. Your vlogs have given me a good look at what we missed but still I long to go there. You have no idea how much I am enjoying your vlogs. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you both 🙏

[@LeggLife]

I really hope you are able to make it back to Alaska and that you’re able to experience Juneau!

[@katewilson1292]

Beautiful shrine❤

[@billybeard4888]

Hi guys. I'm a big fan. You are my go-to before I go cruising. I'd really like if you guys and tell us the dates of your cruise. I can look at the weather and see if I'd like that time. Thanks guys

[@jordythomps6412]

This is such a great cruise series so far. Watching this just makes me want to explore more of Alaska

[@LeggLife]

Well, guess you just need to come back!

[@RobRaincock]

This is really cool. I got off the ship a little later on and headed to the Red Dog Saloon to check out signatures on the wall. Cheers (Rob the Naturalist)

[@fmfotoz]

After watching this video, I've started a google doc of all your little tidbits of info/recommendations-- the 7th deck outside lounge was the first bullet point! lol

[@andierob]

I’ve decided I’m gonna make this trip to Alaska for my 50th birthday.. I’ve got 2 years to plan it. I was born there and left at 6 months old. Watching your videos has given me the motivation to do it. Luckily my birthday is in July. We probably won’t cruise though.. we will just fly there and go explore. Watching you guys the last few months will help us plan. Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@LeggLife]

I love this SOOOO much! We will talk more about this in a future video, but after cruising, I think flying in and exploring on your own is a GREAT idea! We loved the cruise, but feel you can have a better Alaska experience as an independent traveller :)

[@doreenperez9413]

Juno was really fun when we went there.

[@lisaanderson8235]

Your vlog and another vlogger in Hawaii are the only two folks I've ever heard of using Turo. think it's a great idea in certain situations. 👍 I love that y'all are getting recognized. You're KZbin famous! ❤️❤️

[@KathInNJ]

What a fun day! We have friends that have rented Jeeps and loved it.

[@LeggLife]

Yes, it's a great way to get to explore on your own!

[@pennycowher6328]

Another great vlog😁 i never wanted to go on a cruise until now.

[@terrinewman291]

I kid you not, when Sherri showed the whale fountain I thought it was a real whale! Beautiful!! I want to visit Alaska, it is on my bucket list.

[@LeggLife]

Ha! We've had several people think it was a real whale when we've visited there in the past.

[@Daytonagail]

Adam, your video's bring me so much joy♥️ A true delight for me!

[@LeggLife]

Hi Gail! That means a lot to me! Thank you :)

[@nitabackes9670]

Love seeing the glacier, but I think I could spend hours at that waterfall. So beautiful! Karaoke looked like so much fun. What would your guess be as to the percentage of young people vs. seniors on board?

[@LeggLife]

Oh gosh, it was definitely mostly an older crowd. We were certainly on the younger side of the guests. Probably 90% older than us?

Renting cars sounds like a nice option. We ar doing a mendenhal raft float in September and that’s 130 each. Will look into renting a car in some of the other ports we don’t have excoursions booked.

[@tommason1347]

Great video! Looked like a fun day

[@suziequeue2]

We rented a car too …specifically to visit the St. Therese Shrine and to have more time at Mendenhall Glacier so we could walk to the waterfall 👍🏼❤️

I would like to know how to get to the secret hallway by the jewelry store on deck 7!!!

[@arlenelucenajohnson5276]

Very informative. question for you, where did you pick up the car? I'm thinking of renting one like you did. I will be in Juneau this coming July.

[@gandsmeyer2957]

We like that you have the option at these ports to just walk off the ship and explore without spending money on excursions. I would however love to do dog mushing excursion. Not sure if you guys did that on your trip, but I think that would be so awesome to do.

[@LeggLife]

We didn’t do that, but I (Adam) was actually raised mushing. We had a dog team growing up here in Alaska, so that’s something I’ve been able to experience before :)

[@ArtemisAurora]

You where so close to my office, downtown!

I am taking the Princess Grand in two weeks and would love love love to visit the shrine....is it doable by taxi? Uber? what do you suggest?

[@bethrocity]

so please tell us what to do as far as renting a car. How did you get from the ship to the car rental/turo place. Your day looks so perfectly untouristy

[@LeggLife]

We a risky arranged for the Turo to be picked up right downtown by the cruise port. It was a short walk and made it SO easy! It was such a perfect day in Juneau!

[@jettereq272]

hello. been bingewatching ur vifs as we plan to go on Alaska trip this May. Interested in renting a car, u said u parked near the ship, so is thete parking space rigjt infront of the ship is dockef? Can i pls get the contct info of the person or company who rents out cars. Thnks

I hope Rock slide in Skagway didn't stop you from docking

[@LeggLife]

Nope, the rock slide happened after we left :)

[@PaulaPetersem]

Oh ok

[@kimberlycampbell1758]

Do you know if public transportation drops off at the Shrine?

[@Littlestloverlol]

We are looking at a a Turo too. Did you pay extra to meet in town there? Many we see have pickup spots far away from the ship. Still less than the shuttles to the glacier.

[@LeggLife]

Good question! I did pay a little extra to have it delivered downtown. I figured the extra charge was still cheaper than an excursion, or an Uber to and from the normal pickup location.

[@davidlopez5829]

I love GIN! How do you spell the name of the gin distillery. That is going to be a must for me!

[@LeggLife]

It’s called Amalga Distillery, and it’s right downtown!

[@ThomasThornhill]

We have a Princess Alaska cruise in June. Does the tram require reservations? We have reserved through Princess, but our time the day we are in port is limited. I am thinking about canceling the excursion, and if conditions are right purchasing the tram when on site if expedient. Thanks for input.

[@LeggLife]

Hi! We were able to walk up and purchase our tickets right at the tram. We didn't book ours in advance. I'm not sure if they ever get full or sell out, but we didn't have any problems.

How long of a hike to the bottom of Nugget Falls? We booked an excursion to Mendenhall and those falls for September!

Funny story. When I was younger my family went on a few Alaska cruises. We love Alaska! Went to mendenhall many times. In 2019, much older, my sister and I took a Disney cruise to Alaska. Was prior to the world pausing. We both noted the glacier was much smaller. The lady at the gift shop said it recedes at least 200 feet a year due to global warming. Guess this story is not so funny. Global warming is an inconvenient truth
