Rare Saint Greg Posted August 16 Author #832 Share Posted August 16 Yeah if you do the highway one or the combo you need a passport. Round trip on the train like I did last year you do not. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted August 16 Author #837 Share Posted August 16 Why does the town look like this? It never burned. Every new building has to be based on one from the gold rush era. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasdan Posted August 16 #838 Share Posted August 16 @Saint Greg a couple times you mentioned the internet was down and you were using AT&T. Was that while you were in port, or does the ship sail close enough to shore to be connected to a tower? I am doing Alaska next may and am curious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HxFx Posted August 16 #844 Share Posted August 16 Question about pier locations. From my research, it seems that NCL does not get the best positions. Have you found that to be true? How did it compare to your Carnival Alaskan cruise (or just observation of the other cruise lines)? Do you think that impacts the port call much? Thanks! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did it compare to your Carnival Alaskan cruise (or just observation of the other cruise lines)? Do you think that impacts the port call much? Thanks! I think that’s right to some extent. Here I think it’s interchangeable because the Carnival ship is where Jewel was last year and Sun is where Carnival was. Icy strait it seems like the larger NCL ship is always on the back dock. My ships Jewel and Splendor have been the in the front spot all three times. Juneau Carnival was right down town and we had that shuttle ride both years. In Ketchikan NCL is in ward cove which is like a 15 minute shuttle to town. Now there’s something to be said about ward cove if you like nature. A lot of eagles there. That’s where my eagle tour was. Also near the totem pole museum thing. But I think most people would prefer downtown. Edited August 16 by Saint Greg 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about this too. When I was in Alaska a couple summers ago on Carnival Miracle, there was more than one port (I know Juneau was one, I think Ketchikan was the other) where we were docked with other ships in the middle of town and there was a NCL ship way out somewhere we couldn't see shuttling people in... and it wasn't just a NCL thing, because one port Encore was in the city center with us but Jewel was nowhere to be seen.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think is the best spot for boarding the train because it was right there. Everyone walked to it. Spirit has the best spot for walking to town or back from the train 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted August 16 Author #850 Share Posted August 16 But then if you’re doing the Seattle route, NCL is right downtown there and Carnival is way out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
