wolfie11 Posted September 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The highlight of a cruise tour is Denali, and it looks like you have the TWT on any of these tours. I would do the one with two overnights in Denali, as otherwise you are just hurrying up and waiting to be put on a bus or train to somewhere. Even better is to rent a car and do it on your own.

flagger Posted September 29, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted September 29, 2008 My biggest negative about #12 is the flight BACK from Fairbanks. However it is easier to fly into ANC than Fairbanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted September 29, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2008 2 nights at Denali is definately better than one. But I would also look at one with an Anchroage overnight, and then the ability to ditch the cruisetour on a southbound cruise and get yourself into Seward at a decent hour, so to enjoy some touring. NONE of your cruisetour selections have any time there. I find it very difficult to rationalize the tons of people who just pass through. They are missing out on significant touring opportunities.

flagger Posted September 29, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have to say that those appeal to me because there is a OBC offer for those dates and I really want to do southbound. I made it Alaska once and can always go back. This sort of combines the best of both worlds. I thank you for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
