maggieq Posted January 28, 2023 #26 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I didn’t realize how far the cruise port was from ANC. Sea and yvr offer much less travel and convenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchorage does add to the travel logistics! Could be a deal breaker for some. These are both good points! Been a long time since I've had to take little people into account.

Gave me indigestion at first....but then we put on our planning hats and put together a nice 3day tour of Anchorage-to-Seward prior to the cruise: seaplane trip, helicopter ride, trolley tours, Beluga Point, Alyeska Resort, Gidrwood, Chugach, etc, etc . Gave us a very different flavor than the cruise itself, very complimentary. But it took time and effort and was a bit of a logistical hoist. It's all a matter of choice--was worth it for us, but clearly not for everybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver and Seward embarkations ports offer much better land touring options/sites than Seattle imo. But like you said it's not for everyone, we all need to pick what suits us best. Hope the OP has a great Alaskan Adventure! Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
