We LOVED visiting Ketchikan, Alaska… but NOT this part
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document their final day in Alaska at the port of Ketchikan. After taking a shuttle from the Ward Cove docking area, they explore the local area and visit Creek Street, noting its history as a former red light district. They also attend a Lumberjack Show, which they describe as a fun but one time experience. The trip takes a negative turn upon returning to the ship. The creators report significant chaos caused by overcrowding and insufficient time in port provided by Norwegian Cruise Line. They encounter difficulties finding food, as the main dining rooms and buffet are overwhelmed or unavailable. The video concludes with the creators eating snacks in the observation lounge to avoid the crowds, expressing concern regarding the level of dysfunction experienced on the cruise ship.
