Our Civilized Alaska Ferry Schedule
We spent a lot of time figuring out our Alaska Ferry schedule which did NOT have early AM departures or arrivals. If we changed the departure date by one week, the entire schedule would change dramatically. I think tides, currents, etc. changing from week to week could make a difference.
We made the reservation in Nov 2013 for a May 17, 2014 departure from Prince Rupert.
Anyway, we needed a room for only the 23-hr Ketchikan->Sitka leg. All the other legs were reasonably short and in the daylight.
If you're making a ferry plan, play around with it. Look at the following to see what was possible then. No telling what the moon has in store for tides and currents whenever you want to go.
