rjac Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Has anyone heard about Royal canceling Juneau Alaska as a port stop this month and next month due to the glacier melt and flooding? rjac  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDaley Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Mendenhall river levels went back to normal a few days after the flooding so I’d assume not. rjac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 We are scheduled to leave for a NB Radiance cruise on the 25th. We have not received any notification of Juneau being cancelled. rjac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than five miles as the crow flies from Mendenhall Lake to Fritz Cove (might be six total miles with twists and turns). The main reason the flooding was severe is the sheer volume inundating such a small expanse. rjac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 There is no such cancellation that has happened or will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicB Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 What about the glacier excursions, are those still up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 We board Quantum on Monday Morming. No notice of any change to the Juneau stop. I fully expect we will be in Juneau this coming Friday. VicB and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLH Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yes just got back. Glacier is accessible. VicB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted August 29, 2023 Report Share Posted August 29, 2023 No problems in Juneau. Our tour guide did point out one of the homes destroyed by the flood as we passed...basically, a pile of rubble. But our tour went on exactly as designed. At Mendenhall Glacier, we took the hike to the waterfall, no problem...But, with how far the glacier has receded in recent years, you couldn't see much of it from the waterfall...better glacier view from the visitor center area.

Our Alaska cruises were 8 years apart. The way Mendenhall Glacier receded in just that period of time was unexpected and unsettling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
