Mike & Hazel

To complete the trilogy of animal tours, we opted for the bear watching in Ketchikan. Apparently on all previous Celebrity cruises Infinity had to anchor in the bay whilst it's sister ship, Summit, berthed on the quay; but because it was late in the season, we shared the dock with just one other liner. Previous float plane tours had been cancelled that day, so our tour was actually the first take off. The flight was pretty rough and when we got to the bay where we were to have watched the bears (drawn in by a salmon hatchery) the sea was too rough to land, so we headed back to Ketchikan. Our tour cost was refunded in full, even though we were airborne for about 40 mins. Ketchikan had more of a range of shops, with some fine saloons too. If you want to try some of the local food you can try Annabelle’s on the dock front serves great chowder. That evening was the second formal night, and the one where the catering staff pull out all the stops. The midnight buffet is something to behold, with ice sculptures and tables laden with food displayed in the finest settings
