Ahhhh Alaska! This is my happy place! Alaska is so beautiful, I never get tired of coming here! On this cruise, we only have one stop in Alaska and we are going to make the best of it. The last time we were here, we went fishing... so guess what we are doing this time! Yep... fishing! But this time for halibut! We booked the excursion through NCL and it is called 'Halibut fishing' for those of you who may be wondering. First up, we are transported from Ward's Cove (Norwegians' port) to downtown Ketchikan to meet our fishing captain and get licensed for our fishing expedition. What's great about these trips is that they are small boats with no more than 6 passengers. So you are getting an authentic experience with a guide who knows the native waters and where the fish are. Well, do we catch any halibut? Maybe... but we definitely caught rockfish! And we saw whales!! This was a bonus as this was not a whale watching tour! But we saw a HUGE pod of orcas (killer whales) which was AMAZING! There were about 20 whales all around us. We stopped the boat and killed the engine just to watch and one came up right next to us! Whoaa! We also saw several humpback whales. It was an epic day and the scenery just made it even better! The snow-capped mountains, the wildlife... Alaska is beautiful. Back onboard the Norwegian Jewel, we had a delicious dinner at Teppanyaki! This is our favorite specialty dining restaurant on any ship as it is consistently good... and you get so much great food! #Ketchikan #AlaskaCruise #NorwegianJewel Please SUBSCRIBE, Comment, Like, Share & Follow! *Download our 101 Cruise Tips* http://bit.ly/3JfY0Rd *Check out our travel & camera gear on Amazon* https://www.amazon.com/shop/eecctravels This link has all of the camera gear we use to create our videos!!
