Ketchikan, Alaska

We loved this port, so quaint! Yes we did an excursion but were not happy with how long it took to get off the ship to get to our excursion and how long it took to get back on the ship! Never seen anything like it in all my years of cruising!

Our ship just went up the arm to the glacier. Our captain got really close to the glacier, it was amazing! Such beauty!
