From recent experience

 

If there are a lot of ships in port in Juneau, forget getting into a "local bar" for a drink in the afternoon!

 

After 10 hours on the train from Whittier, we really weren't in the mood for dinner theater. We went through a realy hassle trying to cancel our pre-paid booking, but finally got a credit, and had a wonderful dinner across the road at the Salmon Bake (where we also had breakfast the next a.m.)

 

Ketchikan - Is your Misty Fjords flight at 8 a.m.? Try to squeeze an early a.m. walk over to Creek Street. Great light and few crowds at that time of day.

What - you only cruise Icy Straight Point?? It is wonderful when a ship stops there.

 

Ketchikan - Creek Street - great!! Look for Dolly's House.

 

Juneau - we have never had problems regardless of how many ships are in port stopping at the Red Dog Saloon for a drink at the bar.

I believe the itinerary sails into Glacier Bay, not ISP.

Day 11 looks very busy. Not saying it's not doable, just make sure your times work and you are up for both. Most are kinda wiped out after the TWT.

thanks for the replies...keep'em coming!

 

yes we do not go to Icy Strait Point--it's Glacier bay & thanks Robin's egg that is true--I haven't booked that so I will wait and see. The tour messed us up b/c they put the Husky tour on the same day as the TWT--I know long, long day! We won't be back in time for the Cabin Night that night. My Island Wings is 8am but I don't know about walking Creek Street first....hmmm

Hi again.

 

You won't die if you don't see Creek Street, and I'd avoid it when there are tons of people there. Before 8 might be a tad too early! If it's not far (and I don't think it is) from where the lumberjack show is, you might check it out before or after.

 

Have a great trip. I see you live by the ***** "don't waste a minute of this trip"!
