HAL Denali to Whittier via Motorcoach

[pmcc097]

We are on the Noordam 10 day Denali cruise next July.  We will be taking the train from Anchorage to Denali and a motorcoach from Denali to Whittier to meet the ship. Can anyone tell me approximatly what time we will get to Whittier?

We arrived at the port around 2 pm.  I do remember that we arrived at the same time as the train, as well as everyone else.  It was a very crowded and rude boarding experience.  There's no avoiding it, and priority didn't seem to matter, so just an fyi.  If you're handicapped you will be taken into a much shorter queue.

 

The coaches to the train didn't go much better.  Thankfully everyone has a reserved seat on the train.  If they're still trying to sell the coffee mugs and saying you can get coffee at the resort for free - it's a scam!

We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam early this year. Our coach (there were 9 of them) left the McKinley Resort around 9 am, one viewpoint and restroom stop, an hour-long lunch stop in Wasilla, a timed passage through the Anton Anderson tunnel, finally arrived Whittier just before 5 pm. Very quick check in and boarding process.

Are there restrooms on the bus?

These are Greyhound type motorcoaches, and I am pretty sure they do.  It is a long bus ride.
