We had good seats, sort of. Somebody should be out there not allowing able-bodied young people to sit in the first row. We had to climb up a couple rows which isn’t really safe for us oldsters, especially coming back down. The show itself is well-done and entertaining. I liked the rivalry between the two sides. It was upbeat and fun. I would go again as long as we don’t have to climb up the steps. Btw, don’t buy your tickets through the cruise ship. It’s much cheaper if you buy them directly. Go to the 9:15 show and you have plenty of time to get back to the NCL ship.

Enjoyed the Show very much. It was a jam packed audience the time we chose and they were cramming people in all over. They keep the crowd entertained and laughing. It is a quick thing to do while in port with a Cruise Ship and easy to walk to from the ship.

We grabbed tickets for this a couple weeks before we were due to be in Ketchikan and there was still lots of availability (though admittedly this was early in the season). It’s a bit disorganized when queuing and you need to watch for people trying to sneak in line but there’s plenty of space inside. We really enjoyed the show itself. The lumberjacks were really talented. My husband was obsessed. I found it a bit corny but enjoyed the climbing and water challenges. And it wasn’t too much of a time suck so we were able to enjoy our day before/after (we went at 1pm)
