Juneau becoming tender port for ncl?

[eileeshb]

There’s something weird popping up on NCL itineraries with Juneau as a port of call, they’re showing it as a tender port.

Has anything changed in Juneau lately that would suggest this will be the case for the rest of this year and for next year? 
I know the city is going to be limiting the number of ships visiting but that should ensure all can dock rather than cause more to tender. 
when I did a search on ncl.com for my upcoming cruise Juneau is showing as a tender port but there’s been no communication to announce such a change. 
 

yes this is being discussed on the NCL forum and other social sites, I’m posting this question here because I’m hoping someone local to Juneau/Alaska might have some insight.

Depending on the number of ships in port on a given day, sometimes one ship has to tender.

I’m well aware of that.

however as an example in October Norwegian bliss will be the only ship in port yet if you look up the cruise on NCL’s website it says tender.  I’m beginning to suspect it’s a snafu on NCL’s website, they’re taking it down for maintenance tonight which means everyone on my cruise has to wait until tomorrow morning to check-in.

1 ship anchored in Juneau, I have seen as many as 3 anchored.

Tendering in Juneau sucks! I did this on my first cruise on RCCL. It was 2-10 pm, the weather was horrible and ship's tours went first. It wasn't until 4 pm when we got off the ship. 4-10 pm in Juneau were awful times.
