I am a bit late on posting this review of the port of Juneau which I visited twice in September 2023 on the Sapphire Princess. First of all below are the good and not so good things
- the new walkway along the sea port is beautiful with all of the totem poles. Its a nice place to stroll
- the shopping here is identical to what you will get in Ketchikan including the prices and sale items only the name on the stuff changes to Juneau
- the not so good are all of the homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks. Doesn't look like there is anyone to take care of them
- the number of pot/cannabis shops surprised me
- the number of closed shops on the main street was sad
- Loved the Alaska state museum and I would recommend it to everyone who visits. It costs 13 USD but is worth it. It is a visual easy walk thru of Alaskan History, and all of the various animals. It about a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise pier.
- Surprised at all of the Philipino food vendors in the park - they know the audience of cruise staff and the food smells amazing
This trip I did not go to the glacier or whale watching as I have done so before
Hope this helps
Marcia.
