KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA Port Reviews

To short of a stay. Need more time

Walked around town- prettty

I liked it but wish we had more time in port. Long wait time for bus to and from.

There is a difference between rustic and run down and town is run down.

We did not do an excursion here instead just got off the boat and we loved it!!! Beautiful walkable town with a ton of shops and Creek Street.

LONG bus ride into town, really cuts into port time. SO CROWDED! Would book some kind of excursion for next time.

We went into town in the morning then caught the Bearing Sea Crab Fishing tour for the afternoon. The people on the boat were great and it was very interesting. Don't make the mistake of thinking you will actually get to eat crab (for free) like I did. They do have it available for purchase if you want, though. By the way - Ketchikan dock was the best shopping of the entire cruise. HUGE shop at the dock with TONS of items from clothing to chatchkis and very reasonable prices.

Again , because of the 20 + bus ride each way we had to rush . More time is needed there in order not to be rushed and stressed out .

Wish we could have been there longer.

All the excursions here were a huge let down.
