NCL saves money by docking away from the main port area. They have their own curio store at their docking site and some excursions are run out of there as well. Passengers should be aware that this line docks well away from both Ketchikan and Juneau proper and due to travel time and passenger loads, port times are limited.

You booked the cruise, so you knew ahead that the port stops were short or early. You can book on other cruise lines that offer longer times in ports. One of the reasons for the late arrival and short time in Victoria is only to be compliant with federal law.
