JWJs Posted September 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Which side of the train for the best view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted September 6, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Your seats are assigned, and Princess uses table seating. So two people ride backwards, 8 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted September 6, 2009 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2009 It matters not which side you are seated on. What does matter to some people is being told to take an assigned seat that faces backwards and to share a table with strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of their seats face forward like a bus. The dining room is in the lower section of the car and the tables are there. Check out our review and pics at http://www.bully4.us/ct3.html for a picture of the McKinley Explorer cars on HAL. Have a GREAT cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted September 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2009 When you book the train on your own and not through Hal or Princess or Royal Caribbean and you want to do the Dome Train from Anchorage to Seward what is the set-up like ? Seats all facing forward like a bus, tables with some facing forward some facing backwards? How does it work? Jimbo:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 30 minute limit on seating time, if people are waiting for seats. For me, depending what side I get- from Seward, I want the right side, on the Arm I want the left. From Anchorage, I want the right side through the Arm, then switching to the left. The vestibules are also open for great viewing. Be flexable and enjoy the ride. :) Even on the "other" sides, viewing is still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
