Living the Dream 67 Posted July 4, 2023 #26 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Shrine of St. Therese, Douglas Island, Alaska Brewery, Mendenhall and NOAA. NOAA does a great tour for free. Shrine of St. Therese is beautiful (a place I would get married if I had it to do all over again). Kicking back at Alaska Brewery and sampling was a great way to end the day (as long as one person refrains to be the designated driver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worker said it is the smallest Costco in the world. I’m so glad we’re not the only ones who plan Costco as part of our visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the discounts from that big box store you visited 😜. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rented with Avis because they had a location just a short walk from the port. It was a little pricey, but we figured we'd pay for the convenience and the opportunity to get out and hit some of the popular sites quicker that the tour buses. Worked out fabulously and we plan to rent from them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that might be one way to both support local while possibly using an Avis corporate rate. Our cruise dates are slightly less than a year away, so our dates to book things aren't available in most cases, but will be soon. I am hoping to get all of my deposits down as quickly as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, Avis doesn't open their cruiseport location until later in the season - we're there in early May. Does anyone know if there are UBER's from the port to the airport in Juneau? I tried finding one on the app and got "nothing available". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know others from our previous cruise ubered from the port to the airport to rent cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
