Nothing spectacular
As Southeast Alaska’s only aerial tramway, the Goldbelt Mount Roberts Tramway takes you to 1,800 feet above sea level in just five minutes. On the way up, marvel at incredible views while listening to a narrated tour of the surroundings. At the top, you can embark on various hiking trails, check out the flora and fauna display at the Nature Center, watch an award-winning short film about Tlingit history and culture, and dine with a view at the restaurant. The tramway operates from May to September but the best time to visit is in June for stunning views of alpine meadows. – Tripadvisor

Hard to justify $50 ticket
Though the views are definitely spectacular, I couldn't see them on the way up or down in the tram because of the amount of people they packed into the car. It was ridiculous! Nobody would let me inch up to the window and I'm not very tall, so it was a major disappointment. The view from the top is beautiful IF it's not cloudy, which it is a lot in this location. The walk on the trail is really nice EXCEPT for the huge Christian CROSS at the overlook. Seems like you can't go anywhere without politics or religion in your face any more. Now, I see they've raised the price to a whopping $50 so definitely won't be doing this again when we cruise next month. Once is enough, and heck, I'm thinking at that exorbitant price, one might pass on this five-minute sardine-packed zip line and find a better way to enjoy a longer activity somewhere else. Alaska is expensive no matter where you go - I have been five times to many locations, and found that renting a car in Ketchikan & Juneau is a fantastically less expensive way to see the sights that are easily accessible by car, and that also allows you to be on your own schedule and visit restaurants or places where the locals go instead of being dumped en masse with 4,999 other cruisers. A quick internet search for "things to do in Juneau" will reveal many places you can visit during your time there.

Great views but expensive
Whilst the views from the top are worthwhile the cable car is very expensive at 45 USD for no more than a 5 minute ride. If you are feeling energetic a better bet is to walk up. It's quite steep but a well defined track so not too difficult and takes about an hour. If you then spend 20 USD in the bar, casual restaurant or gift shop you can then ride down for free.
