We are flying into Anchorage from Detroit, we will arrive in Anchorage 11:30am, by the time we collect luggage and 2 car rentals for our group of 8, our internal clock will be 4:30pm… thinking we should find somewhere to eat before we make the drive to our Airbnb in Seward. Any recommendations? Don’t really care about the bar atmosphere because we will be driving afterwards. Maybe somewhere with good fish and chips, burgers, etc. Thanks in advance!

If this is your one and only time to Alaska, Glacier Bay would be pretty cool to miss!

I don’t remember your plans for Juneau, but I’m curious if you see taxis lined up when you get off the ship. We’re debating how to get to MendenHall and back, without the 90 minute time schedule!

Have sooooomuch fun!

MICA guide tour at Manatuska glacier. Rent a car or do a day tour with a group on Viator. It’s the best thing we did in all of Alaska. (We rented the car).

Thanks all… I was just concerned being in Alaska, it may only be open very limited times. I won’t make it much past 10pm anyway, and only till my 50$ is gone!

We are doing Whittier to Vancouver, inside passage. Nieuw Amsterdam.

Good tips! Can’t wait, we board tomorrow!

Anything on the reserve card?

Walk out water falls with glacier view. I stand corrected!

Does anyone know which nights will be formal nights on this itinerary? Trying to book Pinnacle for a non formal night.

Taxi to Mendenhall Glacier, tour the visitor center and hike out to the glacier and falls. Taxi return, if it’s cleared up, take the tram up to the top. We enjoyed an Alaska beer up there with crabmeat nachos, there are also some hikes up there.

It’s been a few years since we’ve cruised with Holland. Can someone please tell me what your formal, dress your best, gala, whatever they are called; nights looked like last year on an Alaskan itinerary. Many thanks!

We are looking at booking this combined tour, transportation to Mendenhall… but we want to go at our own pace and don’t feel 90 minutes is long enough to hike to the falls and do the visitor center. At what point will they give us our tram ticket, we would like to call a cab at our own expense to get us from Mendenhall to the tram. Any foreseeable problems with this? Using our $100 excursion credit from HA, the excursion would cost us $9 plus cab fare, and we would be able to do it on our own timing.

Holland America! They really do Alaska well, we’ve been on most lines.
