Creator's Key Takeaways
we were very pleased with our trolley tour and guide Jeff he was entertaining and informative
the best advice the local tour operators had for us was to not book our shore excursions through the cruise line beforehand
the cancellation policy was more than fair and would have covered Us in the event we missed the port had a medical emergency were delayed or missed getting back to the ship in time
the vibe of an Alaskan cruise is completely different in all aspects from all others we've been on

Our day in Ketchikan during our Ovation of the Seas cruise to Alaska in August 2022. #ovationoftheseas #royalcaribbean #cruise #cruiseship #royalcaribbeancruise #alaska #ketchikan We purchased a tour through Alaska Shore Excursions for this port and had a great experience! We booked a trolley tour which took us to Herring Cove and Saxman Native Village, and explored downtown Ketchikan before returning to our ship. (https://alaskashoreexcursions.com/) The sites we used to look up local tide information to decide the timing of our excursion were: NOAA: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaatidepredictions.html?id=9450460&legacy=1 and US Harbors: https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/alaska/ketchikan-ak/tides/ Be sure to grab a sweet (or savory) snack from Jellyfish Donuts: https://www.facebook.com/jellyfishdonuts/
