I wanted to close the loop on this post. It wasn't so much that we couldn't google the Egan Center and find out where it was, but we were told different things each time we called Holland America on where to pick up the bus to the train. The correct answer was the Egan Center (if you are staying downtown).

The bus leaves from the Egan Center at 11:30 for future reference, then takes you the train. You drop off your bags at the Egan Center too which is nice if you want to walk around Anchorage.

By the way, @Wacruzr there is a Holland America ship called the Rotterdam. :-)

Right I meant the Westerdam. Yes, sorry, it's been one of those days.

We are staying at the Hilton. I think those hotels are booked. How did you find out about the cruise reps being at your hotel? The website has very little information and there was no recommendation on where to stay.

Hi, we are on the Holland America Rotterdam, leaving out of Seward this Sunday. We are flying into Anchorage Saturday and staying downtown. We have booked the ANCHORAGE/SEWARD CRUISETRAIN. We've called twice and been told two different things on where and when to pick up the shuttle to the train. I'm completely confused.

Does anyone have the true story or know where to pick up the shuttle to the train? I've been told go to the airport, I've been told to go the Egan Center. We are staying downtown so the Egan Center is a better option for us.

Do you have information on where and when to pick up the shuttle? Their customer service folks can't seem to tell the same story and other than our booking in our Holland Account we don't have a ticket.

Thanks,

Thanks for quick reply. What excursion did you do? We couldn't really find any that includes both Haines and Skagway except the train ride.

Traveling in July on Westerdam, landing in Haines. We understand that Skagway is only a 45 minute ferry ride. Anybody have an problems with traveling by ferry from Haines to Skagway? We think we want to do it, but just want to see if others have done that and are there any issues we need to know about. The ferry schedule seems pretty regular. Also, if anyone has perspective on Skagway or Haines excursions?
