Congratulations! You are very lucky as you would not be allowed to board the ship in Juneau. You can not do a Juneau to Seattle trip, it is illegal.

Have a great trip!

Look at something with Hubbard Glacier or Glacier Bay.

In Alaska, itineraries mean more than the ship.

I have never changed one either. I wouldn't fear. There are a lot of nice people out there who will stop and help you change a tire.

I would think Butchard Gardens would be good with a 2 year old (Victoria). It would also be a great place to get some family pictures of the trip.

Have a good trip!

We had snow on the ground in Whittier at the end of May last year. We had a lot of 40 degree high temp days.
