Juneau, Alaska (Day 4 on Celebrity Edge)
Good morning from beautiful Juneau, Alaska!
We’re officially on Day 4 of our 7-night Alaskan journey aboard the incredible Celebrity Edge, and today is a BIG day of adventure: Mendenhall Glacier, a salmon hatchery, the Mount Roberts Tramway, and—believe it or not—a spontaneous last-minute whale-watching tour!
This morning started with peaceful mountain views, clouds hanging low over the peaks, waterfalls flowing down the cliffs, and that signature Alaskan quiet that still blows my mind. Coming from Dallas where sirens, planes, and noise never stop… waking up somewhere this calm just hits differently.
