Northern Light Posted July 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Has anyone a picture of the inside of a Holland America dining car? Although we were on a Princess Alaskan cruisetour last month, we were seated on a HAL train car. I neglected to take a pic of the inside of the dining car. Since I scrapbook, I wonder if anyone has a picture that they would be willing to share with me. I would sure appreciate it. Sandy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevecmo Posted July 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2009 We took the train from Anchorage to Seward last month to catch our HAL ship. I don't remember exactly what they called these cars (not the dining car) but maybe this will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it did make me realize that I have to be even more specific. I think that the HAL train might have been called the McKinley Explorer. The top level, which was domed, had regular seats all facing forward. Our train car also had an elevator to take passengers with mobility problems to the lower level where the dining area was. This level was only used when serving meals. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness. I appreciate your effort. Sandy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly into ANC in September and am thinking of using this to get to Seward for my HAL cruise. Does it only leave at 6:45am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Light Posted July 12, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted July 12, 2009 How about these ? These are the only ones of the inside of the train I have. Roly I sure appreciate the effort to help me, Roly, but that's not it either. The dining area wasn't domed. It sure was a comfortable train though, don't you think? It certainly exceeded my expectations for viewing. Thanks again, Sandy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
