The BON VOYAGE THREADS are derived  from this listing.      

 

If you would like to receive a Bon Voyage, I need the following details posted please:

 

Your EMBARKATION date  

The SHIP you are on    

# of days (including if you are on  a Collectors or B2B) & the NAME of  your cruise  

     

B2B?  If you want Bon Voyages for  them, please give the dates.   

 

For the next 2 weeks Kazu and I will both be at sea.  We will not be checking any closed threads.  If you post a cruise and it is not on this thread it will be neither SEEN nor LISTED.    

Please revisit the thread to make sure there are no questions.  Thank you

Double Denali Cruisetour “D6C”

(also our 45th Anniversary)

Double Denali Cruisetour “D6C”

We’re disembarking in Seward and taking the Mckinley Explorer to Denali for 2 nights and on to Anchorage

Can anyone tell me what size luggage is allowed on the land tour portion of our trip?

Is this correct also:

Soft sided tote bags or backpacks no larger than 17”x14”x4” with a zippered enclosure are recommended for under the motor-coach seat?

Get them up on your screen then try "Save As" and go back into where they're saved and see if that works or open docs in a new window then try printing.

Thank you all the the hints.....Printed!

Changed browser to Internet Explorer.......success 🙂

I have tried my I Pad and my CPU with absolutely no luck!

Any hints would be great.

Have you taken any memorable tours in Anchorage....we have the entire day!

Thank you very much for your info!  Greatly appreciated.

Does Holland America use the Westmark Hotel exclusively?

We’re scheduled to leave 5/29 and we don’t have to leave t’il 6:00 pm.  Will hotel hold luggage for the day?

Thanks

Thanks for the link. I added the page to our tour folder.  I also found an ATV guided or self tour that we may add. https://www.blackdiamondtourco.com/home----.html

I called yesterday re:  Tundra Wilderness Tour and I was told Holland America assigns you a time!

it appears we only go to mile 53........it’s hard to pre-plan without knowing departure time.....yikes

May not have been on a cruisetour i’m guessing?

Bus ride from Seward to Denali departs around 8:30 AM and takes 9 hours with stops every 90 minutes for restroom break.  Lunch is at a sandwich buffet in Wasilla around noon. 

 

The train from Denali back to Anchorage takes about 9 hours.

 

Be careful who you speak to on the ship as there will be more than 10 different itineratries all including Denali but getting there via different modes and different days.

 

The HAL meal plan is very expensive but also very convenient.  There are restaurants across the street from the Denali Resort or you can dine on the property.  Food is available on the train back to Anchorage.

 

Here is a link to my photo review of my cruise tour to Denali last yeer that my be helpful.

Post 11, thanks for the reply to post 10. We have subscribed to the weekly newsletter, Travel With Alan, for years and this was the first time we booked with this Seattle travel agent. I recommend them as they come out with fantastic deals and all our ports had complimentary tours including the bus from Seward to Denali and dome car back to Anchorage. All of our bags arrived before we went to our rooms and we did not have to check in, as we were presented with keys and our room number when leaving the bus. They even booked our flight to home, Nanaimo, BC. We stayed in Denali for 2 nights and meals were included as well as the 60 mile, 9 hour bus into Denali National Park

Was this the D6C
