Majestic changing time in port in Ketchikan?

[DevilsFan38]

Is anyone else hearing this? We were scheduled to do a Duck tour in Ketchikan, and got an email today from them saying that Princess had contacted them and advised the ship was now going to be in port from 9-3:30, rather than 10-6 as scheduled. Currently on Princess website it's showing as 10-6, and when one of our party called and spoke with someone at Princess they said they had not heard of any changes. I certainly hope not, as that would probably mess with our seaplane tour?

 

Also, if the ship's schedule says in port from 9-3:30, what time normally is all aboard? Is it the 3:30 time, or something like half an hour or an hour before?

When is your cruise?  We are on the Majestic in two weeks.  Ours has always had Ketchikan as 6:30 am - 3 pm.  I wonder why it would change from week to week.

We leave on Saturday. We're sailing Whittier to Vancouver, I'm guessing maybe you're going the other direction?

We will be on the Majestic southbound in a month.  Haven't heard of any changes to time in port.

 

I'm more concerned with making it to Skagway with the rock slide last month but it looks like all the Princess ships are able to go to Skagway this week using tenders.

 

As for "All Aboard", that's typically 30 minutes before sailing time.  Which would be 3:00 if your sailing away was changed to 3:30.

In case anyone else cares it looks like port time is changing. Just got this email back from our seaplane tour company:

 

”We did confirm with multiple companies that have tours sold on the ship that they received word that your ship had changed its port times at 9am arrival and a 4pm departure (3:30pm all aboard)”
