This is our first time to be on a duck tour (this amphibian doubles as a boat and a bus). The driver took us through the rustic streets of Kietchikan, showing us new and historic sights.   Later we are literally driven into the scenic harbor of the Tongass Narrows. As we pass by their local fishing fleet, bald eagles, and Ketchikan’s waterfront community, we feel the energy of the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Later we went to check out the town ourselves.

It’s 6am, and the ship is pulling into the port of Ketchikan. I am standing on my balcony enjoying the view…

Day 2 on the ship, Al and I saw the Tony Award-nominated Footloose the Musical! It tells the story of a Chicago teen, Ren McCormack, who moves to a small midwestern town and finds that a local preacher has banned rock music and dancing. The Footloose is a feel-good, positive show that encourages people to embrace new ideas, stand up for what they believe in and dance their hearts out. We really enjoyed the show and went back to see it again the following day.

Our booking comes with premium beverage package for the entire cruise. We can have unlimited wine, cocktails…Our first drink on the ship: classic mojita for Al, and brugal ginger mojita for Judy. The truth is we are not able to drink much. We normally like to have a glass of red wine with our dinner.
