Goldbelt Tram in Juneau

on
January 12, 2024

I was able to get a Gold Belt Tram ticket for free using the $50 off of excursions portion of NCL’s “Free At Sea” promotion. The tram is extremely easy to get to. Most ships dock right out in front of it. In this case NCL was docked farther…

on
January 5, 2024

Good morning from Tracy Arm Fjord! It’s a beautiful day. Today is actually Juneau day and I don’t remember Tracy Arm being on our schedule. I think the Captain is trying to make up for the ship being unable to get close to Hubbard Glacier the other day. Fortunately…

Icy Strait Point: Mountaintop Forest Tram

I booked this tour through NCL. They had $50 off excursions on their Free At Sea deal I booked under. That would’ve allowed me to get a ticket on the Sky Glider for free. For an additional $29 I was able to book this tour that included a tram…

Alaska Jewel: Hubbard Glacier Day

on
December 22, 2023
