Just ask away. Its our second Alaska cruise. We are certainly going back, but next time its going to be all land and no sea other than day excursions. A lot of travel will be by rail. The Alaska Railroad has it down to an art. We took the leg from Anchorage to Seward. Had a great dining car where you were taken in order by the car you were in. When some got through, and tables were cleaned, others were brought in. Food was prepared on the train and was fresh. If you wanted snacks, soft drinks, beer, there was another car for that. Kind of a come and go with some really big windows for viewing. There was a naturalist that pointed out scenic views and gave some of the area history in narration style over the intercom. The same trip via bus is 2 hours. The train rarely exceeded 30mph, making the trip about 4.5 hours. Very smooth ride.Beautiful! Wife and I are looking for our next vacation...would like to get details or a bit more info on your trip.. Alaska is one place we've never visited.
