Did not port in Ketchikan. Ported in a cove about 30mins away. Not a good stop. Did not even get to enjoy going to Ketchikan due to shortness of stop.

Victoria, British Columbia

1 out of 5

Due to weather issues, we were about 12 hours behind schedule getting to Victoria. As such, we only ported for government regulations. Were not even able to get off the ship. We had planned to meet family in Victoria. We were so close and yet so far. Frustrating.
