TYTY Posted March 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2009 We're staying at the Pikes Waterfront Lodge in Fairbanks for our Cruise Tour with RCCL in August. I wonder why it would be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget Queen Posted March 4, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2009 We're staying at the Pikes Waterfront Lodge in Fairbanks for our Cruise Tour with RCCL in August. I wonder why it would be different. They use several different hotels in Anchorage and Fairbanks. They frequently stay at the Grande Denali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYTY Posted March 4, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm hoping we're staying at Pikes in Fairbanks because we are going in a day early and I have already booked Pikes for that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaylenhazel Posted April 6, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 6, 2009 How about tour #10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted April 6, 2009 #12 Share Posted April 6, 2009 We are booked on tour #11 in June, 2010 and our itinerary shows us staying at the Wedgewood resort in Fairbanks, the Grande Denali Lodge, the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, and the Anchorage Marriott. I do know that before our Princess cruisetour several years ago, the initial information we received had us staying at the Bear Lodge in Fairbanks but our final paperwork had us at the Princess Lodge in Fairbanks. I am sure that they have to use more than one hotel in some locations because of the varying availability of those hotels during the season. In fact some of the Princess passengers, when we arrived in Fairbanks on the train, were transferred to Bear Lodge or Sophie Station, while we were taken to the Princess Lodge. I am sure that for the short periods of time we will be in any one location, the properties will be more than adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMiz Posted January 8, 2010 #13 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm hoping we're staying at Pikes in Fairbanks because we are going in a day early and I have already booked Pikes for that night By now I am sure you have had your cruise and have stayed at the Pikes Waterfront. We are going in May 31st '10 we are going a day early and was going to book this hotel then I seen some poor reviews from many sites mostly of overbooking etc. Their rooms seem high at $265 with tax included per night How was your stay there ?

negc Posted January 8, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Here is the hotel info I was given for RCCL cruisetour#15 if anyone needs it. Fairbanks - Sophie Station Denali - Grande Denali Lodge Talkeetna - Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge Anchorage - Anchorage Marriott Alyeska - The Hotel Alyeska In Fairbanks, RCI actually uses the following hotels: Wedgewood Resort Bear Lodge Pike's Waterfront Lodge Sophie Station Which ones they use will vary depending on availability for the dates in question. All seem to offer similar facilities. When we were in Alaska ten years ago, Princess initially indicated we would be staying at Sophie Station in Fairbanks, but when our documents arrived we discovered that they had changed our lodging to the Princess Riverside Lodge. We were more than satisfied with that facility. Our current itinerary indicates that will be staying at the lodging listed above for Denali, Talkeetna and Anchorage. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us too, and those are the same hotels on our trip too. (of course it could be the same trip-who knows?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us too, and those are the same hotels on our trip too. (of course it could be the same trip-who knows?) When we originally booked our cruisetour, our reservation on the RCI website had us staying at the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks. When I looked up our reservation more recently they had substituted language which merely says that when we arrive in Fairbanks we will be taken to our hotel and doesn't specify which one. When we inquired of RCI, they could only tell us that they generally use any one of four hotels there: Wedgewood Resort, Bear Lodge, Sophie Station or Pike's Waterfront Lodge. I imagine that which one(s) they use may vary from week to week depending on availability. From what I can discern from the websites of these properties, all seem to be very similar in what they offer for accommodations and any would seem to be quite acceptable.

milford_cruiser Posted January 18, 2010 #17 Share Posted January 18, 2010 when we arrive in Fairbanks we will be taken to our hotel Blindfolded? :D:eek: This is actually a very interesting change. Are you using transfers from the airport? We're going up a couple of days early for our tour, so we were just planning to catch up at the hotel. Hopefully it will be the one on our invoice!

We're going up a couple of days early for our tour, so we were just planning to catch up at the hotel. Hopefully it will be the one on our invoice! Hopefully not blindfolded.:D Since we have now booked our own air, we will either take a taxi from the airport to the hotel or see if the hotel has a shuttle that will pick us up at the airport. I know that at least some of the hotels do offer a shuttle. Originally we were thinking of booking our air through RCI and that would have included transfers from airport to the hotel. We are arriving in Fairbanks at 3:40 pm so we will have many hours that day to enjoy the scenic beauty of Fairbanks and its environs.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal1993 Posted January 19, 2010 #19 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Celebrity uses the same hotels as well.We were quite satisfied with the accomadations especially Talkeetna Lodge and Grande Denali.Fairbanks Pikes Peek was fine.Anchorage Hilton was a great location and it had A/C when we were there during June 2004 heat wave.Captain Cook did not.Talkeetna Lodge had A/C in the hallways and common areas,but not in the rooms.Some guests slept with their doors open.

Our documents have arrived and confirm that we will be staying at the Wedgewood Resort in Fairbanks, the Grande Denali Lodge in Denali, Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge in Talkeetna, and the Anchorage Marriott in Anchorage, just as was indicated when we originally booked. We will also be doing our Anchorage tours on the same day that we arrive in Anchorage from Talkeetna. Hopefully that means we will get an early start to Seward the following morning.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
