We did a tour package with 6 days on land, Fairbanks, Denali Lodge, and McKinley Lodge before and everything was so well organized. your bags in your room when you arrive at the lodges with no check ins. The cruise went very well, too, wonderful narration of the glacier passes that you could hear in your room or on deck. The ship is very good, except lacking the international café for 24 hour snacks. Our cabin was the standard, nice cabin with plenty of room. Great entertainment. Nothing to complain about at all. All these informative lectures on aspects of Alaska added to our knowledge. We had the unique pleasure of seeing Denali very clearly, a 10% chance, for 3 whole days, so that was magical. and all those glaciers. Even though we've done an Alaska cruise before, this one had new excursions, so we didn't have any trouble keeping busy.
sat on our balcony and watched the glaciers go by with narration from a naturalist
bus ride to seattle from vancouver went very well. then we visited relatives in Seattle. Went to Snohomish (?) Falls and that was quite nice, had places to watch and sit and buy souvenirs and snacks.
