Alicomp Posted February 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Prior to our Alaska cruise we are flying to Anchorage a couple of days early, on our own. We are using Princess transfers to get to the ship. I was told there is a downtown location where people using the transfers who didn't use Princess air, gather and board the buses to the ship. Has anyone boarded from this downtown location? How did it work out? Is that better than taking a cab to the airport and boarding the bus at the airport? Thank you.

fishywood Posted February 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The downtown location is usually the Egan Convention Center. When you purchase the transfer it is for a specific location, either the airport or convention center. I do not believe you can simply pay the fee and then just show up at whichever you choose. I am in a similar situation as I will be spending three nights on my own in Anchorage between northbound and southbound cruises; in my personalizer you have to select between TRANSFER: ANCHORAGE AIRPORT TO WHITTIER or COACH: ANCHORAGE CITY CENTER TO WHITTIER Your names will be on the list at one location or the other, not both.

Stumptowngal Posted February 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2018 We took the Princess transfer from the Egan Convention Center to Whittier last May. We stayed the night before at the Hilton and walked with our luggage to the convention Center by 10 am. Everything was very well-organized. We checked our luggage with them, filled out the health form and was given a ticket for boarding a specific bus a couple hours later. We spent the time in between walking around town and getting coffee and snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted February 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yes, it’s the Egan Center downtown. You could do either, but if you’re staying downtown, you might as well depart from the Egan Center. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishywood Posted February 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2018 What is the cost of transfer from downtown? In my personalizer for Golden Princess May 26, transfer from either the Egan or the airport is $54 per person. No guarantee it is the same for your sailing, or will not change as the date gets closer. I know for disembarkation transfers the price definitely is higher the later you purchase it due to passengers waiting to use their OBC to purchase on the ship rather than when making final payment.
