Creator's Key Takeaways
Sometimes the best cruise moments aren’t packed excursions or busy tourist spots—they’re the relaxing moments on the ship.
One thing that's really nice about you know, not getting off in ports, and I think I've said this before, too, is that the the ship is empty.
If you do come to Ketchikan, Alaska, I wonder if you want to, you know, do any excursions, but one excursion I'd recommend is the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show.

While most passengers headed off to explore Ketchikan, I decided to take a different approach and enjoy a relaxing port day onboard Norwegian Encore 🚢 In this vlog, I show what it’s like staying on the ship while the crowds disappear into port. From peaceful decks and quiet lounges to a more laid-back atmosphere around the ship, this turned into one of the most relaxing days of the entire Alaska cruise. Sometimes the best cruise moments aren’t packed excursions or busy tourist spots—they’re the calm moments onboard while everyone else is ashore. Join me as I enjoy a slower pace in beautiful Alaska and take advantage of having so much of the ship nearly to myself. Would you stay onboard during a port day like this, or do you always explore every stop? #NorwegianEncore #Ketchikan #AlaskaCruise #CruiseVlog #NorwegianCruiseLine #PortDay #StayOnboard #CruiseLife #ShipLife #CruisingWithJT This video is sponsored by MEI-Travel.
