Denali Park Village - RCL pre-cruise tour

[Brandis]

We're doing a pre-cruise tour with RCL and one of the hotels is the Denali Park Village for our stay the night before the visit to Denali. I've visited the resort twice before, the first time, we stayed in a cabin, which I didn't much care for, they were pretty old and run down, the second time we stayed at the lodge, that one I loved. To be fair, looking at the pictures on the website, it seems that the cabins have been renovated or rebuilt, as they now look much nicer.

Where do RCL guests stay nowadays? Is it the lodge only or could it be either?

 

What time do the RCL-organized transfers to Denali usualy start in the m

It could be either.  Kind of random based on occupancy level of the hotel.

 

Generally you have a tour into Denali NP that picks you up at the hotel.  Depends on if you are staying one night or two.  If one night, your tour generally starts earlier.  If two nights, your tour generally starts later.  The tour brings you back to the hotel or to the visitor center, again depending on your tour itinerary.  Which tour number are you on?

1B, one night. Last time, I think we were picked up at 5AM. 
 

1B includes the shorter tour at Denali which turns where the paved road ends, but we plan on upgrading to the longer tour which goes up to where the landslide happened, as it‘s only a couple bucks more and hopefully increases the chance to see wildlife.
