Anyone Know Which Port Celebrity Eclipse gets to use in Sitka this summer?

[renroc13]

Does anyone know which place we will be docking at in Sitka. There are 2. One close to many areas and the other further out needing a shuttle in. Last time we were close but I think that might be priority for Princess. That was the only non celebrity we took in 25 years.

 

Thanks,

Karen

 

PS the specific dock is not on the cruise schedule site and it appears you need some sort of clearance for it.

My understanding, from a friend who was on the Eclipse earlier this summer,  is that the Eclipse is docking at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal located at Halibut Point Road.  The owners of the terminal provide shuttles (free to passengers) which drop folks off at the Harrigan Centennial Center.

Looks to me like STO which is Sitka Terminal Outside also the one NA referenced above. 15-20 min bus ride to downtown. For some reason the pier guide on above link isn't working like it usually does. The only close in one I remember was a tender drop off.

My memory is the same -- the only "close in one" I also remember was the tender drop off.  And since that dock on Halibut Road was built, and now has been expanded, very few, if any, ships have tendered.

Thank you….found a car that will meet us there too.
