Ketchikan docking or anchor?

[RCNslr]

Now that the Celebrity ship, Infinity, has bashed into one of the piers and put it out of commission, will Regatta have to moor off and tender passengers to the dingy dock? Given the rainfall in this port is often and high, it may mean a very wet welcome.:confused:

It depends on the number of ships in port.

According to the cruise calendar Celebrity’s Infinity was scheduled to berth at dock 3 with the Regatta at dock 2. Hopefully that will mean no disruption.

FWIW, last year when we were in Ketchikan on Regatta we tendered in the morning and the ship docked in the afternoon after another ship left.

Thanks for the great response showing the dockings of all the lines. :)

We met on the Sirena voyage in April. Enjoy your trip to Alaska. We did an Alaska cruise in May 2015 on Regatta and had a beautiful time. We are booked on

Regatta for the holiday cruise - Miami to LA on Regatta. Enjoy the cruise to Alaska. Laura

Thanks, Laura. Done this coast many times and still love it! MIA to LAX trip is a good one and I am sure you will love it. Best to you and it was fun chatting on Sirena.

Just heard from our TA. We will be arriving in Ketchikan at 2pm instead of 10am in the morning due to lack of availability of a berth.

 

Sounds like ships are being shuffled around to accommodate everyone with the missing dock. At least we stay until 11pm so perhaps the crowds will be less after the other ships have moved on. Anyway, nothing we can do about it except enjoy the extra time at sea.

I just read a report that says Berth 3 will be repaired by July 5 at a cost of $930,000. Since the June 3 dock smash some 35 ships have been affected but the port has "made do" with a shuffle system of berthings that sees some ships using a combination of available piers and tenders that accommodates their visits. So, after july 5, all should be back to normal again! Well done, Ketchikan!
