Next June we'll be taking a Royal cruise from Seward to Vancouver. Our past Alaskan cruises have always been Seattle to Seattle so this will be something new for us.
We'll be getting to Anchorage on the Tuesday before the Friday cruise. In Seattle we used our our arranged transport from our hotel to the pier, and used RCC's transfer from the pier to the airport.
I presume they'll have something similar on the final day, transfer from the pier to the airport. But prior to the cruise, on the Friday, I saw a photo someplace of a full check-in at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center and then a bus to Seward.
Does anyone know how that works?
Specific questions would be:
Do they offer shuttle service between area hotels and the convention center? A previous cruise with both Princess and Holland did that in Seattle.
Is there such a check in at the convention center, along with a bus to Seward?
Is there a similar option through RCC for the train to Seward (check in at the convention center, leave the luggage with them, check in, etc)?
I am wanting to start looking at hotel options but before I do I want to know as much as I can about these questions and options.
Thanks in advance for your expertise.
