I'm sure, over time, Holland America will let this link expire - but in the meantime, here's our tour (# 21):

I just looked at your itinerary and see that you made it to Juneau. Did you see the Capitol?
Margie
We saw the capitol in Juneau, but we didn't visit it. It's one of two capitol buildings in the U.S. (if I remember correctly) that doesn't have a dome. I don't recall what the second one is...
Margie's correction to our information about capitol buildings:
Actually, there are several without domes, most notably the four "high rise" ones: Tallahassee, Lincoln, Bismarck, and Baton Rouge. New Mexico's is very southwest and Hawaii's is different.
