Heartfelttraveler Posted July 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I am looking forward to our September Alaska trip on the Jewel and have a few questions for those that have already done this itinerary this summer. 1. What are the show times? 2. What days were the shows? (Band on The Run, Le Cirque Bijou, and Pure Variety.) 3. What time did you enter, and arrive at Sawyer Glacier? 4. Is there anything to do within walking distance of the port in Victoria? 5. Was there a White Hot Party or anything like it? Thanks for any information you can share.

Rare www3traveler Posted July 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (1) The shows are 7: 15 or 7:30 and 9:30 P. M. (2) The night of each show can vary depending on the ship's schedule. (3) It is not very far from Ketchikan to Sawyer Glacier, I would suspect that you would arrive around 4 P.M. and sail for a couple of hours in the Glacier waters at least. This past week, the Captain opened the bow area for passengers when they were in Sawyer Glacier. Will he do it again in September, my guess is that it will depend on the weather (4) Yes, you can walk from where the ship docks into downtown Victoria, but it is a very long walk. (5) Yes, there is a White Hot Party probably Thursday night beginning at about 10:00 P.M. What cruise in September, will you be sailing? I will be sailing on the 9th of September sailing.

BayGirl22 Posted August 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We did this cruise a year ago 3. What time did you enter, and arrive at Sawyer Glacier? The big ship got there around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. I took the small boat excursion that leaves from the port, spends extra time up close to the glacier, then reboards the ship. It was well worth it, we had an amazing view. I signed up two of us the day before so I don't think it sold out. It was right before dinner when we reboarded the big ship, so probably about 5pm. 4. Is there anything to do within walking distance of the port in Victoria? There were taxis and pedicabs and some touring buses right at the port. Its not a port you need to plan a lot for, if you want to leave that last evening open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
