These are amazing photos, thank you for sharing, I'm going to Alaska next year August first time cruising too and could use some help, can you tell me the must see/do if you would please, thank you

Hello, I hope you had a great time. I'm doing the same cruise next August, can you tell me how your day in Whittier went? I'm also curious about the disembark, what time did you end up getting off the boat. I have originally put the 26 glacier tour on my itenirary but was thinking to take it off because I didn't know what else to do in Whittier. Thank you in advance for your help to this very new to cruising and Alaska

Thank you very much

Thank you so much I will check these boards out

Thank you so much, spending three day in Vancouver before our cruise and I'm so excited to plan it. I wrote down all your suggestions, so if you think of anything else let me know :)

Any recommendations for hotels in the following cities

Seward, Anchorage, Talkeetina and Heely?

Thank you in advance

One more question, how far is the hotel from the airport and what form of transportation did you use? $?

Hi, I'm going on my first Alaska cruise in August 2018, followed by land tour on our own 7-10 days. I have been doing a lot of research and was told that you have great suggestion, any advice for me?

You are awesome. Thank you for all your detail input

Thank you for your quick response, did you hire a taxi to visit other places in Vancouver and from the airport and to the ship?

I prefer not renting a car either.

Thank you so much. These are great point and advice. I will take a look at train cost and one way car rental in comparison to paying for 4 adult tickets. I love saving on the driving time too. I will look at the other board and see if I can get more pointer. Again many thanks

Thank you for sharing, Did you rent a car in vancouver? What hotel do you recommend? Also, is it easy to find the bus stop/where to the totem pole park? Thank you in advance

Thank you so much for taking the time to list all the info, I will add Palmer to my research as well as the activities/ dinning you listed

Hello, so excited for my upcoming first cruise to Alaska 2018 and could use all the help I can get. I have done a lot of research but would like to hear your expert advice. We will disembark in Whittier and head to anchorage to rent a car, then off to Seward, then back to anchorage, talkeetina, Denali then back to anchorage for our flight home. I/we like hikes on a small scale,exploring the culture, and sceneries. My question

1- do we want to stay in Whittier on do the 26 glacier cruise? Then take a train to anchorage?

2- I keep reading about stops at portage glacier and Girdwood, what's the best way to explore them? Before or after anchorage or on our way back from Seward.

3- we are somehow flexible with time but would like to keep it between 7-10 days, so what would be your perfect itinerary?

Thank you in advance and looking forward to hearing from you.
