So, I’d heard all about the legendary “Duck Fart” in Juneau, and sure enough, I stumbled on it while passing the Red Dog Saloon! No need to go inside; they’ve got a walk-up window right on the street where you can order your “Duck Fart” shot to-go. One quick shot, a fun memory, and you’re back on your way to exploring Alaska!
The Red Dog Saloon is a drinking establishment at 278 South Franklin Street in Juneau, Alaska, U.S. The Red Dog has been recognized by the Alaska Legislature for its longevity as the oldest man-made tourist attraction in Juneau. The Red Dog Saloon View of the interior.
Seabourn really knows how to make you feel like royalty! One afternoon, I came back to the room, and there it was—a perfect bath, drawn just for me, with a sweet little card to top it off. It’s those thoughtful touches that make you feel like a VIP every single day!
And just when I was saying I miss "Movies Under the Stars" and popcorn, this is what I found when I came back to my room. It's like they read my mind!
Sometimes when I came into my room I would find something like this.
And just a few more food shots to make you feel hungry.
This is where we ate breakfast pretty much every morning. On the aft facing the ocean.
What an epic way to wrap up the cruise! On the final day, the entire crew came out and lined the pool deck, stretching around the whole area. It's pretty wild to see just how many people it takes to keep everything running so smoothly.
Out on deck, they’d set up different tables with all sorts of delicious bites to try. We decided to skip the formal dinner that night and just graze on appetizers, letting the endless little treats count as our meal.
Heading back to Alaska, we got an unexpected treat for Husby's birthday! While having breakfast at our usual spot on the aft, the crew pulled off a surprise—heart-shaped pancakes, a candle, and even a birthday song! How they managed to plan this without us knowing, I’ll never figure out. Then, later, we walked into our room to find it all decked out for the occasion. These folks really know how to make a birthday at sea unforgettable!
A beautiful and scenic day cruising back to Vancouver.
So, Wrangell, Alaska—yeah, I didn’t know much about it either, but oh, did it bring the laughs! This little port, tucked between Ketchikan and Skagway, seemed to be the cruise director’s favorite punchline. And honestly, by the time we arrived, I was ready to see if it lived up to the jokes!
Wrangell’s main street? It’s as tiny as it gets—and hardware stores seem to be the main attraction. Forget flashy souvenir shops; this place keeps it real. The storefronts have that “second-hand treasure” vibe, complete with a little dust on the windows for character.
We decided to hike the Mt. Dewey Trail, just a few blocks from the main street. The trail? Absolutely adorable, with well-maintained wooden steps that made the climb a breeze. And the weather? Perfect—not a drop of rain in sight! It was a peaceful, green wonderland, with birds serenading us along the way. Thankfully, no bears RSVP’d to our hike! At the top, we were rewarded with a jaw-dropping view, snapped a few photos for the memories, and happily made our way back down.
As we reached the bottom, we spotted a neighborhood kid selling lemonade with a sign pointing us to his sister’s table a little further down. Naturally, we had to check it out! Not only did we score some lemonade, but also some freshly baked snickerdoodles. So adorable!
We wandered through town and didn’t stop at any of the shops, so we set out for the Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park. It’s a flat, easy 20-30 minute walk to the beach. There were a few faded petroglyphs, but it was still a nice stroll. Along the way, some kids were selling garnet. Apparently, there’s a local rule that only the kids can sell it because the land is passed down to them. I try to avoid collecting too much stuff while traveling, so I passed on the gems, but it was a fun little side adventure. Here is a great article I found about the story of selling the garnets.
Overall, it was a leisurely day, and I clocked about 18,000 steps!
That evening, we caught N'Kenge's show in the production salon, and wow—she’s super talented! Her stories and singing were fantastic, and it was hilarious afterward watching all the guys lining up for photos and autographs at the exit. Classic!
