B2B Whittier Princess Tour

[ndjoe]

For those of you that have done B2B's to Alaska, does Princess offer any shore excursions on the turn around day in Whittier?

It would also be simple to just make your own plans. There is Avis, you can just walk to from the ship- and drive yourself, anywhere, or boat tours of Prince William Sound.

 

With driving, you can be out the 9am tunnel, have all day, then return through the 5:30- or depending on your departure (you would have already been checked in) maybe even the 6:30pm tunnel. Can certainly see and do plenty.

We did exactly what Budget Queen is suggesting on our B2B cruise on the Diamond Princess a couple of years ago and it worked very well for us. We rented a car from Avis and drove along Turnagain Arm to Anchorage with stops along the way at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Girdwood. It is a stunning drive and we had plenty of time to stop and enjoy the scenery and sites along the way and also spend time in Anchorage. I believe Princess does offer some excursion options for those on the B2B itinerary but it is likely just as easy and more cost effective to make your own plans. I know that some of our fellow cruisers did the Prince William Sound boat tours that they had booked on their own and seemed to enjoy that very much as well.
