Summer in Juneau brings cruise ships and boatloads of tourists - and I love every minute of it! Our first cruise ship of 2014 came down the Gastineau Channel on Saturday, April 26. The 781 feet long M/S Volendam had a gorgeous sunny day and brought over one thousand tourists to town. Cruise ships (for me) signal longer days, beautiful foreign accents, and more fun moments in Alaska's Capital City.
