I received an email with my detailed itinerary when I booked, it listed each port arrival and departure time, and which ports had a tender (just Juneau for us). I didn’t know about the roll call - thanks for the heads up!

Wow, thank you for that! I’d rather plan for the worst-case scenario and not be caught out, so I think I’ll be purchasing a cheaper Cunard excursion to guarantee a tender spot. We’re arriving at 7am on the 17th of July, but with so many excursions in Juneau I suspect it will be busy with everyone trying to get off the boat. Thanks again for sharing your experience, really appreciate the insight!

Hi everyone! I am going on my first cruise on the Cunard QE to Alaska this year in July, and have noticed that Juneau is a tender. I'm hoping to book an external shore excursion at 9:30am that Cunard are not offering, but am worried that I won't get off the ship in time, and Cunard can't provide a schedule until I'm on the boat (when it will be too late to cancel my excursion). I'm contemplating just also booking the cheapest Juneau excursion through Cunard to guarantee an early spot on the tender, but don't want to waste the money if people usually make it off the boat by 9:30am anyway. Has anyone tendered in Juneau before and has some insight as to how long it usually takes? Thanks so much!
