Went in early September for 4 day land followed by cruise on Princess. Princess did a great job on the the land portion. The cruise was also good. This was my first time on Princess. I thought the food was good and comparable to Royal Caribbean. Did not think the Bayou Cafe was worth the extra money( Brazilian lobster tail was large bur flavorless and not worth the money). Sabitin's was great and highly recommended.

Did the land first followed by the Island Princess. Started in Anchorage then Mt. McKinley Lodge for 1 night then the Denali Princess Lodge for 2 nights. We went in September and would have been able to see the Northern lights if the weather would have been more cooperative. Would start in Fairbanks next time if I went in late August or early September to increase your chance of seeing the northern lights. The Natural History Tour was included in our trip which lasted around 5 hours. We did see some moose but people who spent another $63 and did the Tundra Wilderness tour also saw sheep, grizzles, and wolves but the tour was 8-9 hours. Will definitely do this tour next trip. Booked our excursions during the cruise thru Costco's Excursion partners and did a helicopter tour in Skagway, whale watch in Juneau, and a seaplane in Ketchikan for $630/pp.

That is more than enough time. Recently had an 11:45 flight from Vancouver and we were at the airport 2 hours before the flight. We did book the airfare thru Princess which was competitive with my own research. Transfers were thru Costco/Princess and there were more than enough airport staff to send you in the right direction.

Did Princess 4 day land followed by cruise on Island Princess. Would definitely do the land portion first and would seriously consider doing the Land portion on my own next visit. The land tour was hectic and was looking forward to relaxing on the cruise. We cruised from Whittier to Vancouver and I think it is easier to fly out of Vancouver than Anchorage or Fairbanks.

Went river tubing. It was very relaxing and one of the best excursions I have ever done. Good for all ages. Slow flowing river.

How do you make a reservation for the Santa Barbara Beach Resort? I went on their website and did not see any options for excursions from a cruise ship. Thanks
