YouTube Video Description↓

This may be one of the most exciting adventures of our life. The morning started out a little iffy - we weren't sure if we would get to do our scheduled excursion in Juneau, Alaska. But it remained clear enough for us to head to the airport and get on a helicopter (Taylor's first time one one) and then trek around the Mendenhall Glacier. Glacier water was consumed, so many photos were taken, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Afterward, a little shopping happened before we boarded the ship, had lunch and set sail down the Endicott Arm to see the Dawes Glacier. It was BEAUTIFUL and cold, but an amazing few hours. A quick dinner precedes us being so tired from the majesty and ending the night early. Come back next week for some salmon fun in Ketchikan! πŸ›’ Visit our Amazon shop for travel must-haves (Affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/thishappyplace #norwegiancruiseline #norwegianencore #cruise2021 2021 Norwegian Encore Embarkation Day & Le Bistro Dinner Vlog - https://youtu.be/MTjPFjHqxAA A NCL Encore Day at Sea - https://youtu.be/ZjF1E02VFQI Whale Watching in Icy Strait Point - https://youtu.be/WM4GKGac-dM Sled dogs in Skagway: https://youtu.be/Mfi8IstJcpQ We took a Disney Cruise in 2018 - if you're interested in those vlogs, check them out here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcHaURqh15XQCNeDDnb4KofDG7OAA_VjR Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThisHappyPlace Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thishappyplacetravel #AlaskanCruise #Alaska #Cruising #CruiseVlog Norwegian Encore Vlog Norwegian Cruise Line Norwegian Encore NCL NCL Encore Norwegian Encore Alaska Norwegian Alaska Cruise Norwegian Encore Observation Lounge Alaska Cruise Excursion Alaska Cruise Tour Juneau, Alaska Dawes Glacier Endicott Arm, Alaska Sailing the Endicott Arm Helicopter Tour Alaska Helicopter Mendenhall Glacier Mendenhall Glacier Trek Glacier Walkabout Glacier Walkaround Glacier Tour Glacier Water Helicopter Ride Helicopter Glacier Tour Iceburgs Glaciers Alaska Glaciers Alaska Cruise Port Alaska Cruise Stop Alaska Wildlife Norwegian Encore Garden Cafe Norwegian Encore Balcony Room Norwegian Encore Food Norwegian Encore Drinks Norwegian Encore Cocktails Norwegian Encore Bars Norwegian Encore Ship Information Cruising During Covid Norwegian Encore Shows Norwegian Encore Theatre Covid Cruise Cruising 2021 Great Cruise Comeback
