NancyIL Posted February 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If you plan to use a Toursaver coupon for your Kenai Fjords cruise, then it's probably a good idea to book sooner rather than later. Be sure to mention you're using a coupon when you reserve the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlacierLady Posted February 15, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I've seen lots of people walk up at the last minute for both the train and wildlife cruises, but if you know what dates I'd go ahead and book and not take the chance of it being one of those busy days. Also May is the beginning of the season and things don't really start picking up till after Memorial Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlacierLady Posted February 15, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2007 If your going to be in Seward for more than one day I suggest booking your wildlife cruise for the 1st day. In case it gets cancelled due to bad weather you could try for the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 15, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2007 IF your dates are fixed- there is not really any reason to wait to the last minute. Book when your time is fixed. I have seen the train sell out. Not sure of your routing, but IF you are limited on time, I would not be backtracking Anchorage for Whittier and Seward. There is shuttle possibilities between the two. As for the "Denali tour"- I assume you are going the "tour bus" route because you want the enhanced buses rather than the shuttle buses??? Verify that you will get one??? Otherwise I never recommend the tour buses for independent travelers, always the shuttle buses going farther to at least Fish Creek. You are paying triple costs to take the tour buses compared to the shuttle buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
