Hidden Minnie Posted April 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2018 We will be sailing in late June and will be in Ketchikan on Sunday, July 1. My husband will be off on an excursion, and I was looking forward to wandering the town on my own and doing some photography. Will shops be open on a Sunday morning? We are in port from 7am to 4pm.

CruiserBruce Posted April 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2018 If there are ships in port during cruise season, everything will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Minnie Posted April 17, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I believe we are one of four ships that day, so I suspected as much, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted April 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2018 A rather large percentage of town's income is from cruisers. While the plumber may have the day off, if the business or store has a chance of making a buck off a tourist, it will be open.

Rare geoherb Posted April 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I recommend taking the bus to Totem Bight. I enjoyed learning about the totems and clanhouse. You'll have time to do that and walk around the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted April 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Funny story about this. We were once in Ketchikan on a DIY land trip on a Sunday. Needless to say, there were lots of shops open as there were several ships in town. Rather than fight the crowds, we figured that we would have a leisurely tour around town and have lunch and hit the shops after the cruise ship crowds were gone. When we got back, we were very surprised to find that almost every shop that had been open earlier was closed. Guess that they knew where where their money was coming from and not from folks such as us. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
