Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we wanted to make sure we stayed in our budget because excursions in in Alaska can be quite pricey.

It was just nice to be able to walk around the city, take in all the sights and sounds of the city and not have to worry about, you know, sticking to a certain schedule or time frame.

If you're cruising to Alaska and you want to have a port day where you just vibe and don't have any plans, Catch a Can be the place for you to do that.

If you're thinking of an Alaskan cruise, get on your phone, computer, whatever, right now. Book the cruise right now. This has been an amazing experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Explore Ketchikan on your own without an excursion to save money and have flexibility.
โœ“Use the free shuttle from the port to downtown to access hot spots.
