ChiefSealthCruz Posted July 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Can DW and I do the "Voyage of the Glaciers With Glacier Bay" Northbound and Southbound as back-to-back cruises? In order to fly my doctor has to give me enough valium "to knock out a horse" his words, not mine. Even on the meds, I do not enjoy the flight, and even more important to me, neither does my wife. Any feedback would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmwnc1959 Posted July 14, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 14, 2012 What's Turn-Around Day entail in Whittier? Can one stay on the ship, or must you disembark then return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 14, 2012 What's Turn-Around Day entail in Whittier? Can one stay on the ship, or must you disembark then return? If you want to stay on the ship, then there will be a time and place you will be asked to meet just so you can sign out with the first segment cruise card and sign in with the second segment cruise card. This will normally be around 10 AM. However, you may want to take a tour that day, either one offered by Princess or one you book yourself. See the Alaska part of the Ports of Call section on Cruise Critic for touring suggestions in Whittier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmwnc1959 Posted July 14, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2012 THANKS Caribill. I did a B2B last year out of Miami and wasn't sure since the N/B Alaska cruise would have originated in a 'foreign country' (Canada) if it made any difference on how it would be handled.

Actually, after checking in in Vancouver you go through U.S. Immigration/Customs before you board the ship. So the entire cruise is then considered in the U.S. and there is no immigration/customs to go through on your B2B until you are back in Vancouver and need to go through Canadian immigration/customs.

dmwnc1959 Posted July 14, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 14, 2012 THANKS again, Caribill. Good to know. It's been awhile since I cruised out of Vancouver and my memory is not so good. I did a r/t and a n/b from there, also ended there in a s/b and a 12-nt repo from LA-AK-YVR. But never a B2B from Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 14, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If you book early you will have a good chance of getting the same cabin for both cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted July 14, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have done this 3x. It is a piece of cake in Whittier. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtie Posted July 14, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Did this two weeks ago and it was easy. We rented a car in Whittier and drove into Anchorage. Had plenty of time and the weather was great. About a two block walk to Avis to get the rental. If you want to stay on the ship, that is OK too. Have a great trip Burtie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
