When I visited there, at the end of the season, the taxi driver told me I wouldn't recognise the place after all the people, who work in Ketchican for the summer cruise season, leave.

I recommend the Alaskan Marine Highway where you can enjoy all the ports before and after all the cruise ships leave for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted July 3, 2017 #557 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Thanks David, Alaska is always very busy during their summer. A friend (of a friend) lives in Skagway for the cruise season only and makes a living for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by taxi driver in Ketchikan most people are only there for the Season, then they return to Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted July 9, 2017 #562 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I was told by taxi driver in Ketchikan most people are only there for the Season, then they return to Mexico. Yes Ketchikan, Skagway etc on the Alaskan cruise route are very busy in summer, crows cannot fit on the footpaths, all over the road. In winter they are ghost towns. When we did it on Carnival Spirit in May 2006 it was not too bad as only two ships in most ports. However in the real high season July/August when Americans/Europeans take holidays then it is out of control, 4, 5, 6 ships in. :loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
