Tender vs docked

[rfholcom]

Does anyone know which ships will tender and which ones will dock at each port? Or do you know a website that has this information. I am specifically interested in Carnival Spirit. I assume it docks in Juneau and Skagway, tenders in Sitka but I am not sure about Ketchikan.

Last year when we were on the Spirit we only tendered in Sitka, the rest we were docked at

Sitka has no docks so you will definately tender there. Ketchikan has space for 3 ships to dock at one time. Frequently ships will spend half day there and leave at 1P to make room for others. You can check on the congestion factor at cruisecal.com When I was in Ketchikan last summer 4 ships were there. The Spirit docked and NCL Star tendered.
