All Aboard time in a port

[808cruisers]

Going to try for the 1:15 Lumberjack show (1 hr) before 3pm Ketchikan port departure. Is this is too close for comfort? It's 3 minutes away from cruise dock.

Private visit or ship arranged visit? 3pm departure will mean be on board by, probably, 2:30 pm latest. Too  close imho.

It's private, a walk over from the dock. Maybe I could leave the show 5 mins earlier?

You should also consider that Ketchikan has multiple berths. If the ship is docked at berth #1, it is close to the Lumberjack Show, but if at berth #4 the walk is > 1/2 mile.

 

Do you know for certain which berth the ship is assigned?

And when we were there, we were anchored out, requiring us to wait for a tender.

Thanks so much! I changed to the morning show!

The next 2 cruises to Alaska we are considering are also both tender ports (Ketchikan), due to the increased number of ships in Alaska.
