KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

1 out of 5

Only had 4 hours. Had to take a shuttle with long wait line, 30 minute ride, dropped you off 10 minute walk or longer to town. Didn’t make it to town had to turn around walk back in order to catch shuttle back to ship.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

Suppose to dock 8-12 because of winds docked 90 minutes late, no time to get off.
