Stanley Posted July 31, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Does anyone know an approximate time we can start boarding the Island Princess in Whittier? Departure is 9 or 10 PM. Since we are making our way from Anchorage that day by train then we don't know what train to book. I'm sure this info is on the Princess site somewhere but I'm new to this and don't know where to look. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted July 31, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2005 If you are taking the train down on your own, there is only one, leaving Anchorage at 10 and arriving in Whittier at 12:20. Train stop is directly across from the ship. And yes, you can board the ship when you arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted August 1, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Thank you very much. I thought there was just one train but somewhere on these boards someone said there was a second train but got into Whittier later in the day. It will be great to board the ship when we get there and have a chance to wander around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nho9504 Posted August 2, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Princess does not have train transfer from Anchorage. The one they have are for cruisetour folks and it does not take new passengers at Anchorage. Alaska Railroad has the ONE AND THE ONLY train from Anchorage to Whittier that anyone can take. 10AM.

Stanley Posted August 2, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted August 2, 2005 We made our reservations for the train today. It's the 10:00 AM and arrives at 12:19. Apparently the port is just across from the train station in Whittier. It is only 8 miles from our hotel in Anchorage. Our tickets should arrive in the mail shortly. Now if we can just find some serious cold weather clothes down here in Texas we'll be OK. Thanks again everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
