Alaska Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam ~ Ketchikan and the towel creatures!


Colourful houses dot the shoreline in Ketchikan Alaska.
The sign welcoming us to town claims that Ketchikan 
is the "Salmon Capital of the World."


We arrived in port greeted by a misty rain.
We wandered the streets and stopped for a delicious bowl of crab bisque.
There are many historic buildings.
 Murals refer to rich history of Japanese and Filipino cultures.
The red light district of heritage houses built on stilts in a creek 
are now occupied by shops.

The town was very busy as there were 5 large cruise ships in port.

I had heard about the towels creatures that the stewards would be making for us.


Crab


Octopus


Elephant 


Dog


Monkey

There was a towel folding class on one of the sea days!
We did not attend.

So many options to consider when on board 
especially on Sea Days.
Mah Jong, Bridge, Bingo, Casino, Live theatre, Music venue, Computer classes, 
Pools, Spa, America's Test Kitchen, Movies, Lectures, and more.

The last cruise post is on the blog now...
