luvz2run2000 Posted July 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Has anyone been on the Crabbing tours offered by the cruise lines in Ketchikan? Are they fun or cheesy? I can't imagine they are anything like the tv show about crab fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzmaxwell Posted July 17, 2006 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2006 We just did it through Celebrity on June 30th and it was one of the highlights of our two week vacation there. It was a fantastic tour and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The hospitality back at the lodge was outstanding!!!!! Nothing cheesy about it for us!!!!!!

Fireplug Posted July 17, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2006 We did the crab tour a couple years ago and loved it. Even saw a black bear while back in the cove where we pulled up the crabs. And the crab lunch was delicious. Squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie in Orlando Posted July 17, 2006 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2006 We're doing the Crab and Wildlife tour at the end of August with NCL. I can let you know then how it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captswanson Posted July 17, 2006 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2006 We went on the crabbing trip about a week ago. It's nothing like what's on tv. You go out to a trap in very calm water close to the shore. The crew asked for someone to help pull the small trap in. Another person is asked to measure a crab and then everyone who wants to can pick up the crab (these are not king crabs). That's about it for the trip, but when you get back to the dock you will have a crab meal that you will never forget. We had some of the best crabs I have ever had. They kept bringing them to the table. You will not go away hungry. I think next time I will try another adventure. It was OK but it wasn't exciting:) captswanson, swansonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
