Creator's Key Takeaways
We have just ported into Ward Cove. The old mill at Ward Cove will be the place where we catch a shuttle to the first stop of our Alaska cruise.
I would say the lumberjack show was very adorable. Really cute. It was fun. I'm glad we did it.
When you're here in Ketchacan, definitely visit Creek Street and go see Dolly's House. It is a true slice of Alaskan history.

Join us as we explore the vibrant and historic port town of Ketchikan, Alaska—our first stop on the Norwegian Joy cruise through the Inside Passage! Porting at Ward Cove, we dive into a full day of sights, shows, and unforgettable Alaskan charm. Our adventure kicks off with the high-energy Ketchikan Lumberjack Show, where world-class lumberjacks face off in axe-throwing, log rolling, and climbing contests. From there, we stroll down the iconic Creek Street, once the town’s red-light district, now home to quaint shops and rich history. We tour the legendary Dolly’s House Museum and learn about the town's colorful past, then head over to the Totem Heritage Center to admire Alaska Native totem art and explore the deep cultural traditions of the region. In between stops, we grab a local roast from the cozy Island Coffee House and enjoy Alaskan hospitality at two of Ketchikan’s most famous watering holes: the Arctic Bar, home of the two bears, and the lively Asylum Bar. This video captures the spirit of Ketchikan—from heritage and history to lumberjack thrills and local brews—as experienced on our unforgettable Norwegian cruise adventure. 🛳️ *Watch, Like, and Subscribe as we keep Just Ramblin Around from the Pacific Northwest to the Last Frontier! #justramblinaround #alaska #ketchikan #ncl #ncljoy #wardcove Our Equipment: GoPro5 : https://amzn.to/3W706JP GoPro10 : https://amzn.to/3JoNRRt Nikon Z30 : https://amzn.to/4d2bOvo Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra DJI Mini 2 Our Software and Subscription Services: https://share.epidemicsound.com/cyumoq Adobe Premier Pro Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator 🎉🎈🥳Please subscribe to our channel to stay in touch so we can share what we are up to!🐕🌋🌅 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYptpWdN5KNCq5pwdvGNrhQ?sub_confirmation=1 Website: www.justramblinaround.com Facebook: Just Ramblin Around Instagram: @justrambinaround Email: jrawithronandjodi@gmail.com ****About**** Hi Ramblers! We are Ron & Jodi; we want to share with you our RV travels in the Pacific Northwest. We RV up and down Washington and Oregon's scenic coastline and explore the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range enjoying the high desert. We have lots to show you around in our own backyard to include our national & state parks in Washington and Oregon. The best thing about owning an RV is that no matter where you go, you are always home. Still working full time and living residentially in the Pacific Northwest, we will take extended RV vacations outside the PNW. We have been to California and Nevada and have traveled east to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. When we take a break from the RV lifestyle we travel to beautiful Hawaii and hop aboard luxurious cruise ships destined for Alaska and the Caribbean. We take you on our vacations for an immersive travel experience. There are many videos to watch and help you decide how to spend your time in the PNW and beyond!
