aprilsp88 Posted March 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi, Besides Princess riverside lodge, what are other hotels Princess cruisetour may assign? Are all those hotels in walking distance to the car rental booth close to the airport? If I want to rent a car in fairbanks, and I'm with princess cruisetoure, how do I get to the car rental place? Thanks, April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted March 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The Princess Riverside Lodge in Fairbanks is quite large. I am not aware that anyone on a Princess cruise tour has been assigned to another hotel, but those who have taken Princess cruise tours with Fairbanks as a stop can offer better comments. The major car rental agencies have desks at the Fairbanks International Airport in the baggage carousel area. The cars are also at the airport so there is no time involved in taking a shuttle to a different lot. The Princess Lodge in Fairbanks is near the airport, but it would be an awkward walk. The Princess hotel offers shuttle service to and from the airport, so just take a shuttle in the AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted March 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Princess has several locations they put people in, no these are not walkable to car rentals. I don't consider any of the hotels- near many attractions, or in convenient locations- if you want to get out, so a car rental is an excellent idea. You will need to verify, if there is an airport shuttle and if not- you will be using a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCruiser Posted March 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Princess put us at the Bear Lodge (Wedgewood Resort) for two nights. Nice place with free shuttles making rounds with several stops but not the airport. http://chiumemories.blogspot.com/2012/07/alaska-cruise-tour-with-princess-2011.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donaldsc Posted March 31, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2013 As a percentage of what your whole trip is costing you, nothing is Fairbanks is an expensive cab trip. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstalaskatrip Posted March 31, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The Princess Riverside Lodge was definitely NOT walking distance to the airport. However, it was a short shuttle ride away, and they shuttled us for free. They also had a shuttle to different stops around town (not sure if there was a charge for this). I think we only found out the lodge a few weeks before we left on the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
