Alaska 2023

[Cruzin Grandma]

I am looking at booking. 7-night Vancouver-Anchorage cruise in September 2023.  The itinerary states arrival in Whittier/Anchorage at 12:30 am!  Does anyone know if you actually have to start disembarking soon thereafter or are you allowed to stay on the ship (and sleep) until a normal hour😂?   I understand you need to allow at least 2 hours to get to the airport.  Also, if I book a late afternoon flight, will there be a place to stow our luggage?  Thanks in advance. FYI,  not new to cruising, just new to cruising Alaska.

They won’t make anyone start disembarking at that time. The tunnel isn’t open at night

Ships usually dock very early in the morning. Disembarkation usually begins abut 7:00 am
