I live in ketchikan. Just a small correction....the beams in the water at Thomas Basin are not old fallen docks. They are a dry docking grid. Boat owners position their boats over them, so when the tide goes out, the boat bottoms can be worked on.
@@JessiFayS maybe people are just trying to show different places. Ketchikan is very small. It's easy to see it all. To see it over and over wouldn't be interesting. We had a very dry summer last year. It was gorgeous.
I liked this video, but some of the things I am looking forward to enjoying on my Sept. Joy cruise: The "tram", which is actually called a FUNICULAR. The beautiful eagle carving is done by Nathan Jackson, the main carver for the Saxman native village [tour available thru your ship or onshore], which will be my one excursion in Ketchikan. Another notable place is Soho Coho, belonging to the artist Ray Troll, renowned for his "wacky fish" art. I am sooooo looking for one of his picture t-shirts. As Ketchikan is the place where so many totems are found, I am hoping to find a smallish one to take home to WA.
We parked about a block down the road and walked there as it was busy in the baggage area and not very much parking. I would suggest calling the pier and they should be able to let you know the best place for you to park and drop your luggage.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer thank you for reply I suppose I can leave my Service Dog in car while I check in my luggage and go back to get him. Can not manage both. That's why I wondered if can drive right up to drop off luggage before parking.
Noted I would advise viewers as in the UK they would not be able to take it back. That’s all thanks. Are you doing the rest of the days..? I am on it in September
@@daninisantosmoreno-emeric1598 We got lucky with the weather the week we went. I would make sure to bring some warm clothes because you never know what kind of weather to expect in Alaska. You will love your cruise!
@@NorthernVikingExplorer Thank you for the speedy reply. I appreciated your video's..it was a Great relief to have them specific to the AK Cruise on the JOY.
These are the best cruise videos on TH-cam. Already answered so many questions that I had.
Thank you for your kind words and support! Glad you're enjoying the video series. 😄👍
I had watched so many vlogs like this one but never saw such a complete walking tour as you showed. Kudos to you.
Awesome 👍 We are glad you enjoyed it.

I wondered if a lot of these places closed due to the rain virus. So many places not being shown in new Ketchikan vlogs.

Hoping to see Day 4 before we leave tomorrow (10th). Lots of good info - especially where NOT to take exhausting walks in Ketchikan. :)
Thank for watching! Unfortunately day 4 will not be ready for about another week. I hope you have a wonderful trip!
We just love Alaska. We have been on 4 cruises there.❤️
I sail on the Aug 31, 2019 with my Service Dog. Looking forward to it
You will have a wonderful trip!
Thank you. Can I drive right up to baggage check? Since I am alone and have my Service Dog it could be challenging..

Nicely shot, edited, and narrated video.
What type of camera stabilizer do you use?
Thank You! Most of this was filmed on a GoPro Hero 5 Black and the Hohem I-Steady Gimbal.
Great job you to❤️
Thanks for the tour very nice. Only concern is about the knives this is not allowed on board is it?
They will take them when you get back on the ship and hold on to them until you get back to your final destination.
Noted I would advise viewers as in the UK they would not be able to take it back. That’s all thanks. Are you doing the rest of the days..? I am on it in September
Yes, We are doing the rest of the days. I am hoping to have Skagway Day 5 on later today.
We're going to Alaska June 27th 2020 going for a week And One day!
You will love it!
I’m going August 1, 2020...so long as that Carole Baskin and her Coronavirus don’t cancel my trip.
What month did y’all go?
This was the first week of July.
Northern Viking Explorer We are going on the 30 May and I just want to know what I need to bring
@@daninisantosmoreno-emeric1598 We got lucky with the weather the week we went. I would make sure to bring some warm clothes because you never know what kind of weather to expect in Alaska. You will love your cruise!
Thank you. I need all information
Is there an immigration check?
Just a security check in Ketchikan.
How often do you cruise?
This was our second cruise in the last year. Hoping to do more! 🚢
Did your WIFI work in Alaska?
We didn't pay for any wifi but our Google Hangout worked for the whole trip.
