You're getting some bad advice from people who should know better. The Radiance is on a totally different itinerary in 2006 (a far better one, IMHO), and you are indeed going to be in Juneau on Tuesday. Boarding starts in Seward at about 2 p.m. - by about 3:30-4:00 it starts to get very busy, so early boarding has advantages as well as the disadvantage of seeing less of Seward if you arrive that day (a day aheda is MUCH better, as there is lots to do at Seward). Disembarking in Vancouver depends on what your schedule is from there (its all prioritized). And you're right about there being no bad Alaska cruise!Murray
