Ketchikan, Alaska Port Reviews

The people of this place stole my heart. Book your totem excursion through American Airlines, not Princess. You'll get a great guide!

Should have gone fishing. Lighthouse and bald Eagle tour were a little boring. Ketchikan was beautiful.

Very cute town and went on the Deadliest Catch which was fabulous, would highly recommend it.

We did a half-day salmon fishing excursion with Salty Sea Charters, which was not offered through the cruise line. Josh was an excellent captain, and we're so glad we selected his charter, although, being a single-boat operation, he's not big enough to be on the ship's list of excursions. Well worth the "risk" of booking outside of the Holland America list.

Our absolute favorite port. The stores, restaurants and excursions were better than expected. We did the aqua duck bus tour and the lumberjack show. We could have stayed here for a few days.

Port was interesting. Did the coastal wildlife cruise which was a disappointment. Didn't see too much - except the eagles were awesome

Totem Pole Tour was great..preservation of totem poles and teaching the art of carving. Only port where it rained...and was cold, used long johns, gloves and hat. Went to Wal-Mart to get supplies for passenger whose luggage was lost on flight. Tongass Market by pier was the best for souvenir shopping. Plenty of eagles. Great story about New York cafe...go to Mary Amanda's talk.
