DAY 8: Disembarkation in Juneau
The day that we’d dreaded had arrived much more quickly than we expected. It was disembarkation day. We pulled into Juneau around 6 a.m. It was the first time that we’d seen civilization in days. During the course of our cruise, we’d only passed just a few other ships. We never saw any people except for those on our own cruise.
We had to have our bags outside our door by 7:30 a.m. We’d been given specific luggage tags depending on what our next destination was. Then it was off to breakfast as usual. The last meal was just as good as the first.
By 8:30 a.m., it was time to depart. The captain and the crew members lined up outside the ship to say goodbye to each guest. They knew all of us by name and wished us well on our next adventure. We felt sad to leave but grateful for the experience.
Then it was back to where it all began, the Juneau Convention Center. Our luggage awaited us at the reception area, as did a shuttle bus for those headed to the airport. We had some time before our flight, so we spent the day walking around Juneau, bumping into several people we’d met on the cruise.
KidTripster Tip: During a cruise, it’s easy to forget just how many margaritas you ordered at the pool. The bar tab can add up quickly. But there’s no surprise final bill on UnCruise. All drinks are included, and so is everything else. Unless you made any souvenir purchases on board, the only thing left to do is leave a gratuity. Tips are shared amongst the entire crew. It was suggested that we leave a $500/cabin gratuity. We experienced great service from the entire crew, and we were more than happy to give a tip.
Alaska is a must-visit destination. We highly recommend seeing it from the deck of a small ship like Uncruise’s SS Legacy.
