[quote LindaBSkier]I'm new to this board, but not to cruising. We are going north to Alaska - sounds like a movie and song title from long ago. When we dock in Whittier, we are going to have a taxi company take us to Seward for the day. Then we will train back to Anchorage at 6 PM in the evening. Would love to meet some others on the cruise and maybe find another couple interested in doing this on Sept 15th (arrival day).[/quote]
Welcome to the board. One piece of advice about a taxi & Whittier, you need to travel through a one-way tunnel to get out of Whittier. The tunnel is only open for approximately 15 minutes at a time in each direction because it is used by both cars and trains. You don't time it right you could be sitting at the entrance to the tunnel up to 45 minutes waiting your turn to go through while the taxi meter is running. I would advise talking to the driver and get a clear understanding of the cost and wait time prior to getting in any cab. I made this drive in a rental car just two weeks ago and doing it in a cab it will be very expensive. Have a great time....we did!!!!
