tazboyles Posted April 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2004 When are you going? Who are you booked with and on what ship? If it is RCCL you should have a cruisetour package number.

tazboyles Posted April 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Sorry. I see you are also taking the Vision. If it is the same package I am booked on I can give you more information.

Budget Queen Posted April 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2004 No, the Talkeetna Alaska Lodge and the Princess McKinley Lodge are not "close" together, over 40 miles apart. For a ball park- it is a 2 hour+ drive Fairbanks- Denali Park and at least 3+++ hours Denali Park to Talkeetna. Do you have an overnight in Fairbanks?? or 2?? Perhaps if you post your schedule- it can be figured out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvoris01 Posted April 6, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted April 6, 2004 our cruisetour starts on july 26th with 2nights in fairbanks,1 night in denali, and 1 night in talkeetna. I was trying to figure out the times we would arrive and leave each day, because in the rccl book it doesn,t tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted April 6, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 6, 2004 What day is your Denali "tour". Hopefully you also have the Tundra Wilderness one included- IF you want to see wildlife? That takes about 6 hours depending what day that is scheduled. Then go with the driving times above to give a rough estimate perhaps?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski ninja Posted April 8, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2004 I am booked on a cruisetour with vision of the seas leaving for cruise portion on 7/10, I don't know when the land starts. I know we are taking the train into talkeetna and denali. The train only comes into town once a day I think it comes into Talkeetna at about 10 am and Denali around 12-1. I'm sure if you contact the Talkeetna visitors center they would be able to tell you what time the train comes into town. I'm sure the same is true with Denali.

tazboyles Posted April 10, 2004 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi I just got info from my TA on my tour #6. We get into Fairbanks late. The first full day in Fairbanks is 8AM-5:15. The next day you leave Fairbanks for Denali at 8:15AM. I don't know when you leave by motorcoach for Talkeeetna the following day. The last cruisetour day you leave Talkeetna for Anchorage mid morning. At 2PM you head onto Seward. Hope this helps.
