The only excursion ever taken and am regretting every damn minute of it. Just hope the regret does not reappear next week. Agree, 34 people on a Silversea excursion sounds too crowded, especially for this cruise line that prides itself on being more upscale and above average. Is this type of crowding the "new normal"?

Considering that SS is an all-inclusive cruise, what´s the price difference for those that do not drink, I mean for kids and teenagers? No minimum age defined. They tend to follow cultural norms wherever they are sailing relative to parental oversight. In our experience, the price difference was roughly two-thirds off.

Rare ronrick1943 Posted July 13, 2022 #79 Share Posted July 13, 2022 If you don’t feel comfortable just do get on the bus. We’ve done that with a tour one time, the vehicle pull up-0-didn’t fell safe so we just said no. When into town on are own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on excursions in the past with 30 ish others but the bus could have carried circa 70 pax so plenty of space to spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 20, 2022 #81 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Re-reading your live from........I will be sailing her next month with the land tour too. It will be my first time to Denali.........you mentioned the amount of time on bus and train.........isn't that the only way to see everything? Or were you just making an observation about how much time was spent on both forms of transport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or were you just making an observation about how much time was spent on both forms of transport? Correct. Just an observation as many, including us, were a little surprised about the total amount of time spent on the bus. I would still have done it just been better prepared and prepared my kids better. There were a few that said they would not have done it had they known the amount of bus travel. It also appears that at least one guest got covid from a couple that tested positive prior to boarding.

Yes, Lois, the bus is the only way to see Denali (the park).Unfortunately the one road is only partly open this season due to a landslide that requires significant reconstruction during the short summer season — but that keeps the bus ride roughly half the distance it might have been had you been able to select the full distance option.

Rare Lois R Posted August 2, 2022 #85 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Good morning......I have another question please. This is about your luggage. I am just wondering how everything is handled? Once I arrive in Anchorage I know someone from SS is supposed to meet me at the airport for transfer to the hotel. Do they take any checked bags and you keep your carry on for the Denali portion? Or does everything go to the hotel and the next morning SS will take your checked bag? Just wondering about the process. Thanks again🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
