eyelovcrusin Posted January 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2018 We will be doing the Denali Explorer cruise tour which starts in Fairbanks and we plan to arrive a day early. Princess will inform us of the hotel 21 days prior but we will need a hotel the night before and would prefer to be in the same hotel. Anyone have an experience with what hotel(s) they use in Fairbanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SewMuch Posted January 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2018 We told our TA we needed an extra night. They called Princess and Princess added on an extra night, and added the cost to our trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call princess, they usually use the Princess riverbanks lodge (non princess guest can stay there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted January 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I concur. If you have a TA give them a call, otherwise call Princess and let them know. You won't be the first traveler with this request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decpl Posted January 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2018 They usually use the Princess Lodge right on the River, a very nice lodge, that where the lodged us when we ask to go a day early last June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have an experience with what hotel(s) they use in Fairbanks? I arrived a day early before my tour in May. Shortly after, I booked the cruise I added an extra night. It was the Princess Lodge. Stayed there both nights. My suggestion is to book the extra night as soon as you can while they still have room. Ask your TA or call Princess yourself. Once the hotel fills up, they start using others. Another suggestion, rent a car for the day before. I found one at the airport... a reputable company...($25) and returned it the night before the tour started. Grabbed a cab back to the hotel for about $15. There really isn't anything to walk to from the Lodge. Just a restaurant or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokiefans Posted January 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thanks for the tips everyone! I have sent the request off to our TA to add an extra night. We are planning have a relaxing day and enjoy the train from Anchorage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
