usnavywife Posted June 11, 2016 #76 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi all, I live in Sitka so feel free to ask questions. I would like to state that the bridge that is being talked about is in downtown, not sure how that isn't walkable even with disabilities. We have people that scooter across the bridge several times a day. Without disabilities everything in this town is within walking distance except the Fortress of the Bears and the terminal as they are both at opposite ends of the road system basically. But I have seen tourists walk both. Welcome to our quaint little town :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you'll never find out from personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimAOk1945 Posted October 3, 2016 #80 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Where exactly is the cruise ship dock? Halibut Point? Yes, that's where we docked on our August cruise on the Maasdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinknock50 Posted October 3, 2016 #81 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yes, that's where we docked on our August cruise on the Maasdam. Thanks. I like to get a feel for where everything is before I go. I have been there at least 3 times, but never docked, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwestern Cruiser Posted October 3, 2016 #82 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Where exactly is the cruise ship dock? Halibut Point? Here's a map that shows the route from the dock to town. https://www.google.com/maps/@57.110657,-135.3872887,1615m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en The ship will dock at Halibut Marine. http://halibutpointmarine.com/page2/ It's an interesting and comfortable set up. The bus drivers are easy going and quick to share info about their home. Ride is about 15 minutes. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwestern Cruiser Posted October 3, 2016 #84 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks! You're welcome. Glad to help. Alaska (and Sitka specifically) is my favorite place to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome. We were hoping to tender since it was our first HAL cruise. We enjoyed the visit and hope to see it again.
