I booked a 7 day Princess Cruise to alaska with a 3 day land extension to the Denali after we dock in Whittier. Included in that portion of the trip is the following:
Bus from Whittier to The Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge (8.5hrs)
A night at the the Princess Wilderness Lodge for myself
Bus transfer from the Denali Princess (2.5 hrs)
A night at the Mt McKinley Princess Lodge for myself
Then transportation to Talkeetna and a train to Anchorage.
I have a friend who would like to join me for this portion of the trip but she isn't on the Cruise and Princess won't sell her seats on the buses. We came up with the idea that we rent a car and drive to the lodges and have her stay in my room.
Do you think this would be a problem? Does anyone else have any suggestions for what I should do and what I should say to the Princess people? Will I lose my hotel rooms if I don't take their transportation will I lose my hotel rooms?
Thanks,
Lauren
