All those responsible for the 650 gallons of ice cream, raise your hands.

 

Thanks, Lou. We sail July 31 and you've inspired me to bring along pants with an elastic waist.

Any tips about excursions you have taken or is there more to come? :)

Did you mean, "Tour" looks interesting?

 

If so, yes the tour is free of charge...

I was going to touch on a couple of tours we did later but can give a brief explanation now...

 

We booked the Mount Roberts excursion for Juneau online through Celebrity because I knew we were tendering in Juneau and heard if you have a Celebrity Excursion you get priority. Didn't really matter with this excursion since it has no set time, so not necessary to book early.

 

In Skagway we booked the Chilkoot Charter Tour "White Pass Summit Rail & Bus" (Not a Celebrity Tour) Train first then bus back, very good tour. NOTE: If you ride the train first sit on the Left side.

 

On the last day back in Seattle we took the "Seattle Essentials Tour with Airport drop off" since we had a late flight. Good tour if you have a later flight.

 

I will elaborate more later...

Day 3, June 28th, 2015 Ketchikan Alaska

Needless to say from the first few pics, it was a beautiful day with no rain in Ketchikan

 

 

 

 

 

 

[loupana]

I forgot to mention, in Ketchikan we did our own walking tour through Town and Creek Street. We just picked up the walking tour map at the information center at the end of the pier.

 

 

 

 

 

We did the tour of Dolly's house, I think the cost was $7.50 it's not a big house but was fun to see the history of Dolly.
