Bus - Seward to Anchorage

[takemeaway2008]

 

Can anyone share their experience taking the bus to Anchorage? Can you eat? Is there a bathroom? Do you get a 'feel' for Alaska? I'm assuming there's no stops. 

 

Thanks.

There may be more than one bus, but we took the Park Connection Seward Express a couple years ago.  It was fine.  I don’t think we stopped.  It wasn’t a tour, just a transfer.

What "bus"???     Yes you can eat on buses,  and there usually are bathrooms-  although not the most pleasant.  :) 

 

Sorry but you really don't get any "feel" of Alaska,    being on a transit bus.   For me, it is the least desirable option.

 

There are buses that do "stop".   But,   frankly the stops-   are hardly much.   Some include the Wildlife Conservatory-   which for me, is so so at best,  since wildlife in the "wild"   is my priority.  :)   But a lot of people won't have other opportunities,  and enjoy this.

If you can swing it, take the train instead of the bus as this trip is some of the most beautiful scenery in Alaska. On the train you have both restrooms and good food and drink service options.

Will need a transfer from Seward after cruise on Holland America's Westerdam in July 2019. Wanting to go to the Anchorage Airport to pick up an RV nearby.

 

Looks like there's a company, A.C.T. (Alaska Cruise Transportation) that costs $50 per person on Sundays to get to the airport from Seward.

 

Might book this rather get a transfer with Holland America.  I'm assuming that would be more expensive booking through the cruise line.  Am I correct in this assumption?  Any suggestions, tips are appreciated.

Have you checked with HAL to see what the price is for a transfer from Seward  to Anchorage airport? I think the last time we cruised to Alaska it was less than $50, but that was 10 years ago and we ended up taking the train option, do not remember how much that was.

Thank you for your response.  I just checked and a bus transfer through Holland America is $65.  Think I'll make a reservation with A.C.T.

can you make a 2:00 flight if you get to the airport by 12:30?

 

I had a 3:00 pm flight booked by Alaska air changed it to 2:00 pm
