Juneau to Ketchikan, Alaska Inside Passage Ferry Cruise Review, Photos

Not like a cruise ship, the Matanuska’s cabins had been small and utilitarian, however I believed they’d all of the requirements for a cushty night time’s sleep.

My in a single day ferry was scheduled to depart Auke Bay at 12:45 a.m., by which era I had picked up my room key and headed to my cabin to go straight to sleep. Some ferries do go away earlier, relying on the route.

My personal cabin got here geared up with mattress linens, a studying gentle, a pull down desk, energy retailers, and a non-public toilet with a rest room, sink, towels, cleaning soap, and a sizzling bathe. That was just about it. There was no Wi-Fi, though some would possibly take into account {that a} blessing. I had no window, although porthole cabins had been out there for an additional $65.

I slept fairly nicely due to the mild movement of the waves, and located the room to be good and quiet.

Exterior, within the hall, I discovered a water fountain, an ice machine, and reams of details about the ship and the areas it passes by.
