Celebrity Millennium Alaska Cruise – Part 2

Part 2 of my Celebrity Millennium Alaska southbound cruise brings us to Juneau. It’s the capitol of the state and like most Alaskan cities, isn’t really that large. It does feature a couple of very cool tourist attractions though, with the Mendenhall Glacier just a short bus ride (less than 10 minutes) from town. The other attraction, which I didn’t do this time, is the Mount Roberts Tramway, which takes you to the top of the mountain for an awesome look of the city and the port (I’ll post some photos from here that I took on my last cruise in 2015 soon).

There’s lots of shopping available in Juneau, although the prices here aren’t nearly as good as in Ketchikan, which is a shopping mecca. That’s probably because Juneau is a landlocked city. That’s right, there are no roads leading in or out. You get there either by boat or by airplane. That said, everyone living there seems happy enough with no complaints, just like everywhere else in Alaska.

First, let’s look at some pictures from Juneau.

Next was the Mendenhall Glacier, which like Hubbard, looks a lot more fragile than last year. It’s receded quite a bit, in fact. Still, seeing it and the giant waterfall beside it is very cool.

That’s it for Juneau and Mendenhall. I have lots more pictures from my 2015 trip that I’ll post soon. Next up, Honnah and Icy Point Strait.
