Cruise Day 6... Ketchikan 11:15-7:45 pm
This day is a late start to our day. I am sure the kids will be sleeping in after such an early day yesterday. Our tour today doesn't start until noon so they will have plenty of time to rest up. Scott and I will more than likely still be up bright and early (it's just our norm... I have a hard time sleeping in until 7 am!) and we will most likely do our coffee and breakfast at Cabanas and then just meander around the ship exploring and gazing at the scenery.
Ketchikan is our son's Christmas gift! He asked to go salmon fishing. Of course, I asked around the boards and found some reputable names-checked them out on Trip Advisor and decided to contact Captain Jerry with Fish Ketchikan and we booked a 4 hour private salmon fishing excursion.
Our salmon fishing excursion ends around 4 pm so will will still have time to do a little exploring of Creek Street and Stedman-Thomas National Historic District. We will need a picture with the Ketchikan sign!
We love to visit anything that falls under the National Park service. Not sure if we will have time to do anything else here but we sure do love to explore!
Of course, we will need to be sure we have enough time to clean up before dinner. That's why we are doing 2nd seating for this cruise!
