katrina915 Posted February 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I am planning to take rail from anchorage to Whittier and take the 26 glacier cruise before boarding princess cruise. 26 glacier cruise is saying that I can put princess luggage tags on in anchorage and the rail luggage handlers will get luggage to cruise porters. I am booking rail independent. Has anyone done this? Reliable? Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2018 In the past this has been the procedure. When the season starts. simply call direct and verify the continued service. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytime53 Posted February 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I took independent rail 2 years ago, and that is the way it worked. Much easier for them to hand it all off to the cruise ship than having individual people collecting their luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empresschef Posted March 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have spoken to both 26 Glaciers and Alaska Rail this week and they confirm that this procedure is in place for this year. If you have a carry-on that you don't want sent to the ship, you may take it on the train with you and then store it in the 26 Glaciers office for the afternoon.

They have Alaska Railroad luggage tags in the Terminal. You will have to speak with a rep in the Terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
