Credit and Debit Cards

In my every day life, I do not carry hardly any cash. I rely on my debit card. Am I going to be able to do this in Alaska? We are going on May 22nd on the Sapphire Princess and I am concerned about the availability of ATM's and retailers who accept debit cards. We are stopping in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan.

Any thoughts?

We did some shopping in each port and paid with credit card each time, so I'm assuming that a debit card would be the same. I'm sorry that I don't know about ATM's because I didn't really look for them

Just to add on, I was just looking through my Alaska pictures and I took a picture of the bear outside of the Tongass Trading Company (You'll know it when you see it) and on the entrance door is a sign that says "ATM". No idea if it is a huge service charge, but they are there.

You'll have no trouble finding ATM's and stores that take debit cards.
