Creator's Key Takeaways

i've been solo traveling now for the last couple of years um and for the last week i've been on board discovery princess cruise in alaska with two my best friends

the food this time around it was fantastic so honestly if you're thinking of princess and you've got any worries about the foods please cast them aside you've got nothing to worry about

i'm hoping to get to the mendenhall glacier which is pretty much the most popular thing to do in juneau

the tram will show you soon but it basically takes you to the top of the mountain that juno's base are in the bottom of um so hopefully there's some good pictures from up there

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship, walk to the end of the gangway, and pay $45 for a return shuttle to Mendenhall Glacier.
If time allows, hike up to the tram and ride it back down for free after spending money in the gift shop or cafe.
Visit during non-peak times to avoid crowds on the cable car.

YouTube Video Description

#cruise #discoveryprincess #luxurycruise #cruisevlog #cruisevlogger #cruiseblog #cruiseblogger #alaksacruise #cruisealaska #kreuzfahrt #croisiere Hey! In this episode, I'm taking you ashore in Juneau. My friends opted for a day of hiking, but I was really looking to see a glacier. As our trip this morning to Dawes Glacier (see other episode) was cancelled, I took a trip to the Mendenhall Glacier, which was incredible. After this, I took a trip on Juneau's famous cable car, for views of the valley, and down to the city itself. If you're new to the channel, I'm Fraser (hello!). I'm hoping that my channel will help you to believe (like me) that there's a cruise line (and a cruise ship!) for absolutely everybody - you just need to find it! If you enjoy this video, please consider liking the video, and also subscribing to the channel - it's totally free for you to do, and really does help me to bring you more content from more ships! :) Anyway, that's enough typing for now. Let's go - we've got a lot to see!
