Joanna,
An "early bird," I am NOT! Departure was scheduled at 7:15??AM; they offered a very hearty continental breakfast (cereal,fruit,etc, in addition to pastries,etc.) in the theatre. All I really wanted was coffee and maybe a muffin. I really don't want to eat that early, but DH had his cereal,fruit,etc. We were delayed 20-30 mins. or so, and I was just glad I was mobile. All this by way of explanation that I thought the "hearty snack" was skimpy, OR maybe the other pax on our excursion were "vultures!!"
Because of this early AM excursion and the Capt. Larry trip returning at 7-7:30PM, we had pre-planned dinner in the suite and told our waiter this the night before. He had the menus delivered that AM(and thereafter) and we were happy we chose to do dinner in this manner. It WAS a long day but very worthwhile! Don't know how much we missed of Juneau itself; we did have a glimpse of Mendenhall glacier (no comparison to Hubbard!) from Capt. Larry's boat; saw some of the the town on the ride to the boat. The Tramway up to Mt. Roberts is fairly pricey IF all you want to do is go up and back, not hike and explore (no thank you.)
Can you tell I'm an "OF?"
