Wennfred Posted August 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2022 For those heading into Alaska like me, Skagway had its 3rd Rockslide in 1 week, so some cruise lines might be skipping this port of call. Keep an eye out for an updated email on this port. Check Don's Family Vacations Video on Youtube as he just posted about this. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted August 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm thinking the pier will be closed for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallnthensome Posted August 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't think this affects the Carnival dock. Maybe I'm wrong .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says it is where the biggest ships dock. Hopefully the smaller ships dock elsewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted August 9, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I’m berthed at the dock now, on Celebrity Soltice, away from the slide areas. We have to tender from the docked ship to another area. There are 2 other berths away from the affected dock, with Princess and HAL ships. So they can dock up to 3 ships now safely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigswells Posted August 9, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The south Bertha is open and allowing some tendering. https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2022/08/09/landslides-close-dock-cause-cruise-stop-cancellations-in-skagway/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kona_wahine Posted August 9, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2022 So people understand, there are 4 docks in Skagway. Only one is closed. One is now just a tender dock, as it is behind the one that is closed. The other two are open and fine. Skagway is NOT closed. There has been MUCH confusion as to this on multiple sites. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do the train ride next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviela Posted August 10, 2022 #20 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I keep an eye on the excursions offered. In the past when a port was going to be changed the excursions disappeared from the web page faster than David Copperfield. They are still being sold for the Aug 22 Spirit departure.

JT1962 Posted August 10, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Below is a link to the updated information for Skagway. The Carnival ships are small enough to use the Ore Dock, so shouldn’t be affected or have to tender. https://www.skagway.org/sites/default/files/fileattachments/skagway_visitor_department/page/33137/aug_5_2022_update_skagway_cruise_ship_schedule.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0RmSq_aZ3PfkfX1eeTVKjoz3dsMeZx6auBicjL6vxKu6JqQ8ahHv-K3QQ Edited August 10, 2022 by JT1962 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
