Friday, September 13, 2019 - Ketchikan, Alaska


We had a rough and windy night even down in "steerage".  As the day progressed we were told that there were weather and wind parameters for entering the narrows to get to the port of Ketchikan for such a large ship.  Later we were informed that the wind was too high and it was not safe for them to approach Ketchikan.  Thus, we remained outside of the Prince of Wales Island Island and the rough weather continued.


In Ketchikan Allan and I had planned to view the totem poles and go for a trolley tour of the city.  The cost of our planned excursion was quickly refunded to our account.  Without much of a challenge we managed to keep ourselves busy for the day.  At one point we started to exit our “stateroom” and were met by a parade of miniature tigers.

All six of the Smooth Oboes signed up for Cagney’s a steakhouse for our final “select” meal.  The restaurant is located high up on the ship at the rear.  The wait staff was accomplished at serving under rolling ocean conditions.  It was rough going.  We had another yummy meal that was enjoyed by all.  We followed our meal up with another trip to the theater.  This time we were entertained by the show “Jersey Boys”, the story of The Four Seasons and Richie Valle.  Their talent duly impressed us.
