Our departure time is at 4:00pm. Any idea when the last NCL shuttle would leave downtown for Ward Cove?

I understand that there is a shuttle from Ward Cove to Ketchikan. How often does it run and is there a cost? We're taking a private excursion that starts and ends at the dock in Ward Cove. We'd like to be dropped off in town. Is it easy to take the ship's shuttle back to Ward Cove? Thanks.

Once again, it looks like you should take what a chat agent tells you with a grain of salt. Thanks for the responses.

My wife and I have 2 specialty restaurant meals each on our upcoming Alaskan cruise. This is our first Norwegian cruise. I could not find any information on exactly what was included at Cagney's. On Chat, an agent told me that each meal included one appetizer, one entree and one dessert. When I asked about sides, he said that if a side was not included in the entree description, it would be at extra cost. It seemed strange that we'd have to pay extra for a side item. I've gotten bad answers before from chat agents. Is this true? Thanks.

I reached out to our agent when I saw the inconsistency. Here's how he replied: I have spoken to Carnival and read them what the Bermuda government’s website currently says, but they still did tell me that a Covid-19 test would be required. I read them word for word what the Bermudian government’s policy currently is but they told me that if a policy was still listed on Carnival’s website, that would be the policy that they would adhere to. As this is the case, although Bermuda does not require a Covid-19 test anymore I would recommend taking one before your cruise as Carnival staff are still adhering to what their website states. I would also recommend checking back with Carnival’s website again soon as I do suspect that they may update their policy to match the Bermudian government’s website soon and once this change is made their employees will also adhere to the new rules. Basically, Carnival is saying that they don't care what the Bermuda government says, they won't admit that their policy is wrong. Hopefully, the Carnival folks will wake up before we leave.

Thanks for the information. Looks like a change of plans may be in order.

We'll be in Cozumel on the Celebrity Infinite on August 31. It looks like there will be 7 ships in port. That's a lot of people. We've been to Cozumel a few times, so we're looking for just a beach day. I'm guessing that the beaches on the East side, farther away from port won't be as busy as those closer. Is Playa Chen Rio a good choice? Any info you can share would be appreciated.
