Review summary

The ship is very nice, elegant and understated. The layout is pretty easy to follow. It is extremely clean and well maintained for the amount of traffic it gets. I was pleasantly surprised.

Ketchikan, Alaska

It is a nice little town. We paid $1 to take a bus and it took us around the whole town in 1 hour. The bus driver even gave us a narrated tour. Skip the shore excursion. Walmart has a free shuttle from downtown.

Don't Miss: Take a bus ride around the town.

Do not bother getting off the ship. There's nothing to see and the stores are closed early. The ship must stop here for tax reasons. I see no other reasons.
