Tendering in Alaska

[CALMOM]

I was wondering how I would find out if the Diamond Princess, southbound Alaska would be tendering in Ketchikan. When I was on the Island in Sept 2007, we had to tender in Ketchikan.

We've been on 3 Princess cruises in Alaska.... none of the ports, Ketchikan included, were tender ports. Must have been something very unique on your cruise.

If you are already booked, it will show tendering on your itinerary in the personalizer.

We have tendered in Ketchikan 3 times. The Diamond should dock as they have extra dock space now but you never know.

You can check this web site closer to your cruise http://www.claalaska.com. It'll tell you what dock and if you are tendering and how many other ships will be in port with you. We tendered before in Ketchikan and will again in May with only 2 other ships in port with us. Right now all you can find out is what ships and how many ships will be there. Usually around March is when they actually have the docks assigned.

We were on the Sapphire in May 2007 and on the Island May 2008 and both times docked in all the ports including Ketchikan. One word of note, because of the relative short amount of time in the Ketchikan, most people wait until the last minute to get back on the ship and the lines are real long!

We docked there, but you might want to check your itinerary it will tell you.:)
