The staff was great. We enjoyed the narrative and helpfulness of Russell, Addie, Calvin, and Captain Brendan on Juneau tours & whale watch. Unfortunately, the whales were not as anxious to please. We saw lots of spouts and part of a couple humps, but despite the staffās persistence in trying to make it a more memorable experience, we didnāt see more of the whales we followed. We did see a group of seals, though.
We were dropped off at Mendenhall Glacier and visited the Visitor Center and hiked to Nugget Falls. We spent about an hour and a half and then took a later shuttle back to the ship.
