Gypsywych Posted August 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Anyone who recently cruised to Alaska happen to have pictures of the terminal inside or outside? Is there soda machines or water past security? Is there an actual VIP check in? Separate lines for personal cars versus taxis and limos? Thanks for any information! :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusandgidgetsmom Posted August 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Sorry no pictures, but the experience is etched in my mind. We are platinum, in a suite (2 suites in our party) DIL was on crutches and we were ushered into the same crazy line as everyone else for boarding. I asked if DIL could please board early, I could wait and the lady said just get in line! Worst VIP boarding we have ever had, but honestly the line moved pretty quickly. Just no VIP help. There were taxi's outside waiting for us when we got back. Seperate areas to get buses, taxi's and shuttles. Hopefully someone will have pixs for you. Of all the ports this was the worst as far as boarding for us. A little patience goes a long way here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsywych Posted August 9, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted August 9, 2012 No, they are going to MAKE me get off in Vancouver. Likely kicking and screaming the whole way down the gangway. No pictures please Pia. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseAdict218 Posted September 23, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Anyone who recently cruised to Alaska happen to have pictures of the terminal inside or outside? Is there soda machines or water past security? I don't exactly remember, I don't believe so. Is there an actual VIP check in? Unless Carnival did away with this, their should be for VIPs. Separate lines for personal cars versus taxis and limos? If you mean outside? Then I don't think so, the car pulls into the whichever open space. Thanks for any information! :):):) See the Green.

mumofsons Posted September 23, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Our experience with Seattle was so different than any Florida ports. When you get out of the taxi there is no-one waiting to take your bags. We walked into the port with our bags and were pointed to the direction where the bags were taken and then we were pointed to the security area. Same as when we got off but if you aren't getting off in Seattle you don't need to know about that :). We are not VIP but didn't have any issues with the waiting area - plenty of seating and our issue was they didn't have our room keys and couldn't seem to get it together to make them and we and another couple were escorted to the ship and had the keys issued by the purser. No biggie but we missed getting an embark picture and that is somewhat important to me and is usually only one of a couple pictures that I purchase. The Alaskian cruise was such a great experience - enjoy yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
