We ported in Juneau, Alaska on Monday the 23rd and disembarked from the Matanuska at 9am. We weren't scheduled to leave Juneau until 4pm so we had plenty of time to explore. It is so hard to describe how beautiful everything is, pictures just don't seem to do it justice. About an hour or so after heading into town it started dumping the snow and we did NOT want to get stuck and miss the ferry, so we took a short loop around town and headed back to the ferry station. You can see from one of the pictures it was a complete whiteout at one point. Zac was in heaven. The Kennecott was a much bigger and newer vessel but the rooms were much smaller. When we checked into our luxurious half room we realized it was going to be a tight squeeze. We could barely fit Avery's pack in play in the room. It was touching the wall and the bed, which only left about 2 feet of floor space in the whole room...yikes. We went to the Purser's counter and explained the situation, and the lady told us it would be around 100 dollars to upgrade to a bigger room. We had already spent so much money already that I told Zac we would just deal with it and the lady graciously said "well you know what, we aren't full so I will just upgrade you for free." Praise the Lord!
