Review summary

The ship was wonderful, enjoyed the entertainment. Love the Beatles, Guns and Rojas. The food was Great. All and all a great trip. Ketchikan boat dock is too far from town 20 minutes. Missed the bus coming back to ship because the lines for bus were to long and went shopping. Came out and missed the last bus to ship had to take a taxi. $50 along with missing our tour earlier that day. Expensive port for us.

It was perfect for 2 people. The steward/cabin man was very attentive.

Ship tip

When you book your excursion be sure to check the time. Butchard Gardens at night was not a good idea. Could not see any trees or flowers.

Booked the tour to Butchard Gardens on ship, Was told you could see at 8 PM. After arriving at that time, the solar lights did not do it. Could not see any tree or flowers, Gift shop was closed. Total disappointment for the money we spent.
