The third day of our cruise, Sunday (May 24th), we had a port stop in Ketchikan, Alaska. We were scheduled to arrive in Ketchikan at around 9am, so we got to see some awesome scenery as we pulled into town. (All pictures from this day are available on picasaweb.)
The first picture is what was outside of our window when I woke up. Again, I was an early riser, so I headed up to the gym (I didn’t even bother with the track, although it was probably better as we were in protected waters). After my workout, I went back to the room to wake up Cortny. We did the buffet for breakfast (or maybe this was one of our AquaSpa breakfast days). Either way, we ate and then went outside on deck 4 (the promenade deck) to watch the ship pull into town.
What we woke up to on the way into Ketchikan.
The town of Ketchikan is actually rather small. It probably isn’t hard for the population to double when there are a lot of ships in port.
It was a beautiful day in Ketchikan. It was bright and sunny, and in the low 60s all day. Luck for us, Cortny is always prepared with sunscreen.
The shops near the pier look like the set from a western, and most of the close shops are all jewelry stores. I am amazed at how many people go on vacation to show for jewelry, oh well, that is not what we were there.
