Instead, 1.4 million cruise ship passengers and hundreds of millions of dollars never arrived in port. In May, we couldn’t imagine what an entire year of off-season would be like. It ended up feeling like summer never came. But, how bad was it? Will the industry bounce back? Will Juneau bounce back?

In August, Juneau did see some cruise visitors after all. But it was a far cry from the 1.4 million visitors we were expecting -- it was 36 to be exact.  The first and only cruise ship to sail in Southeast Alaska during the pandemic left Juneau on Aug. 1st and returned to Juneau just four days later, after a passenger on the ship received a call that he had tested positive for COVID-19. </span> <span class="episode-link">/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/15577100</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col s12 m6 xl4 episode-card "> <div class="card"> <div class="card-image"> <a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/15393158"><img src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/15393158?width=350&height=350"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-info"> <a class="more-info-btn right modal-trigger" href="#episodeModal"><i class="material-icons">info_outline</i></a> <span class="card-title"><a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/15393158">Season 2, Episode 2: What's in a plan?</a></span> <span class="card-date">07/29/2020</span> <div class="card-reveal" style="display: none;"> <span class="episode-title" data-image="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/15393158?width=350&height=350" data-date="07/29/2020">Season 2, Episode 2: What's in a plan?</span> <span class="episode-description">For the past several months, it’s been a lot of “will they or won’t they” with regard to the cruise industry coming to Alaska this year.

The hope is that by the time April rolls around, the pandemic will be on its way out or cruise ship companies will at least have figured out how to operate safely despite it.</span> <span class="episode-link">/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/15393158</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col s12 m6 xl4 episode-card "> <div class="card"> <div class="card-image"> <a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/14863925"><img src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/14863925?width=350&height=350"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-info"> <a class="more-info-btn right modal-trigger" href="#episodeModal"><i class="material-icons">info_outline</i></a> <span class="card-title"><a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/14863925">Season 2, Episode 1: They're Not Coming</a></span> <span class="card-date">06/17/2020</span> <div class="card-reveal" style="display: none;"> <span class="episode-title" data-image="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/14863925?width=350&height=350" data-date="06/17/2020">Season 2, Episode 1: They're Not Coming</span> <span class="episode-description">A lot about Juneau’s future is up in the air still, but one thing is certain now: more than a million cruise ship passengers will not be coming to town this summer. Local businesses are already struggling to get by without tourists. By next year, Juneau could look like a very different place. It all depends on how the industry, and the world, recovers from COVID-19 and its economic fallout. </span> <span class="episode-link">/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/14863925</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col s12 m6 xl4 episode-card card-hidden"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-image"> <a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/13704497"><img src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/68120174?width=350&height=350"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-info"> <a class="more-info-btn right modal-trigger" href="#episodeModal"><i class="material-icons">info_outline</i></a> <span class="card-title"><a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/13704497">Episode 6: Five Stars</a></span> <span class="card-date">03/25/2020</span> <div class="card-reveal" style="display: none;"> <span class="episode-title" data-image="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/68120174?width=350&height=350" data-date="03/25/2020">Episode 6: Five Stars</span> <span class="episode-description">An Alaska cruise is all about the scenery. And Juneau doesn’t disappoint. There’s a glacier in town and some of the best whale-watching in the world. But, this episode is about how Alaska can make some people squirm. Because climate change is so in-your-face here. And at some point, tourism is just going to be too much, but no one knows when exactly that’s going to happen. And some people worry that we’re not going to know that it’s happened until it’s way too late to stop it.</span> <span class="episode-link">/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/13704497</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col s12 m6 xl4 episode-card card-hidden"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-image"> <a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/12270800"><img src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/59079005?width=350&height=350"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-info"> <a class="more-info-btn right modal-trigger" href="#episodeModal"><i class="material-icons">info_outline</i></a> <span class="card-title"><a href="/episode/index/show/ktoojuneau/id/12270800">Episode 5: We Almost Lost Yanni</a></span> <span class="card-date">12/03/2019</span> <div class="card-reveal" style="display: none;"> <span class="episode-title" data-image="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/59079005?width=350&height=350" data-date="12/03/2019">Episode 5: We Almost Lost Yanni</span> <span class="episode-description">Safety at sea is serious business.
