  1. 3 of us will be doing an Alaska southbound Radiance cruise in August, ending in Vancouver, with a 1:55pm flight to Chicago. We are trying to decide the best way to get from the cruise terminal to the airport in Vancouver and would love to hear what others have done. It looks like the options include -

     

    1) arranging a bus transfer thru RCI ($30 each, $90 for 3)

    This seems to be the easiest to arrange, but is probably the most expensive

     

    2) taking a taxi ($35 Canadian?, have seen other estimates up to $60)

    Have read on the boards that it may take a while to get a taxi (some said up to 3 hours!)

    Would hate to miscalculate wait time and miss our flight.

     

    If we pay in cash does it have to be Canadian? Can we pay with credit card?

     

    3) take the train

    Probably the cheapest but not sure about logistics - where to get on/off, how to pay, etc

     

    4) hire a limo

    Don't know much about this option

     

    So, it would sure be helpful to know what experience others have had! Thanks.

  2. We will be doing a Royal Caribbean cruisetour in August and will be taking the bus tour to Mt Denali.

    The 2nd highest mountain in Alaska (& U.S.) is Mt. St. Elias and it would be great to be able to see it also.

     

     

     

    Will it be visible while we are on board the Radiance?

     

     

    I think our best opportunity will be when we approach Hubbard Glacier, but even if visible I have no idea which direction to look or how to identify which peak is St. Elias.
