Follow our Clients to Alaska Day 1

Follow along as our clients share details of their 12-Day Alaska Cruisetour. It includes a 5-Day land tour on the front and 7-Day cruise at the end. They start in Anchorage and end in Vancouver. They are adding an extra day by flying from Vancouver to Seattle to enjoy Pike Place Market before returning home. This is the Princess 12-Day Connoisseur Escorted Tour.

Our client was supposed to catch their first connecting flight in DFW at 12:35 today but a delayed flight afforded them an opportunity to visit Pappadeux’s next to their gate for a lunch time Bloody Mary and Crab Dip with chips. A four and half hour flight turned into three hours and forty five minutes as the pilot gained back their delayed time.  In Seattle, thanks to another short delay they were able to catch their third flight heading to Anchorage. (TIP: Most of the flights booked through American Airlines are actually operated by Alaska Airlines out of Seattle. If using a boarding pass on your mobile app, you will need to use the Alaska Airlines app to access your boarding pass OR print it off at the airport or before leaving home.)

Once they arrived in Anchorage they headed to baggage claim to find a Princess Guest Service Host who was available to direct them to a motorcoach and assist with their luggage. (TIP: The Tour Desk can be found at baggage claim 1 in the South Terminal. Guest Service Hosts and transfers are available from 4:00am to 11:00pm. For arrivals outside of these hours, you take a cab to your hotel and request a receipt for reimbursement from the Tour Desk.) Tonight my clients are staying at The Hotel Captain Cook in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. Before they were able to get off the bus at the hotel the Princess staff boarded to give them a few details and pass out their arrival folders. The folders contained their room key (no standing in line to check-in needed) and their luggage tags. The tags help identify what bags will move forward on the tour and what bags will go direct to the cruise.

After a stop by their room they went up to the the Crowe’s Nest on the 20th floor for dinner and a cocktail.
