We made three brief stops on this trip: Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. The total land time is about 15 hours. At each port-of-call, we had to go through thorough security check both in and out, so the same person got off returned to the cruise. Imagine 2000+ guests and crew going through the check point, it was a slow process. Being on time had never been this important as we didn't want to miss the boat!
