What to do in Seward when land tour drops us off to board the ship?

[melmar02]

We have a land tour before our Alaska cruise embarking in Seward. Our booking confirmation says to check in between 2:30-6:30pm. Is there restaurant or something else we shouldn't miss within walking distance of the terminal before we board? Trying to figure out if we should select a later check-in time, and it really feels weird compared to my "gotta be first on board" mentality for the Caribbean.

There are restaurants and shops within walking distance and also a free shuttle. Seward is a small town and easy to get around. They are known for the murals around town. They also have a SeaLife Center. You can Google that.

I was there in 1994 (not on a cruise) and spent a lot of time at the Yukon Bar.  As I remember, it was fun  

ymmv though….I was 24 at the time

The SeaLife Center is part of our land tour. We're excited to see it!

The Yukon Bar is still there with plenty of others. I live in Seward.
