After looking at several options, we decided to go with Red Eye Rides. Communication was awesome the entire time and Paul, our driver, was fantastic. The trip down to Seward felt like a sightseeing tour at times because Paul pointed out different things along the way, including a huge bald eagle nest and historical information about the road and our trip down. Again, if you need to get to Seward from the Anchorage airport, Red Eye Rides is top notch.

This is my second time with Princess to Alaska, the first time on the Island Princess. (I'm most…read moreloyal to Princess but I have taken many others like RC, Celebrity, & Disney) The Alaska itinerary is a must for everyone's bucket list. It can and most likely will rain every day so just plan on it. If you are vulnerable to motion sickness this itinerary has potential to be mostly calm but a cruise may not be for you. Pluses: -Lots of wildlife IF you pay attention. Saw three bears, moose, porpoises that look like small orcas, puffins, otters, porcupine, eagles, etc - Dinner or lunch in the dining room is top notch . Excellent beef entrees like Wellington,, prime, and tenderloin. halibut and salmon were also excellent. Fun appetizers like escargot challenged a few guests - casino was smoke free and had lower minimums than Vegas - theater shows were ok... illusionists was five stars and I also enjoyed the two opera trained performers . - pool depth was 6'+ in parts which was perfect for exercising and turned into quite the wave pool in high sea days that made all the kids have a blast. One pool is covered from rain. - medical on board was excellent - exceptionally clean - movies in cabin continue where you left off - library has plenty of games and books to borrow but only a few tables to play on - guest service is quick and does not argue with you if there is an incorrect charge CONS - only one pickle ball court that is shared with basketball - fitness center is big but NO windows. Everyone wants to use a treadmill watching the ocean!!! - pizza station closes at 10:00 -ice cream closes at 8:00 and never changes the flavors... it's mostly "ice"... we didn't have more than one. - shower space is tiny and water gets on the floor -buffet is a bit tired so use the dining rooms - if you have a large party their app doesn't let you manage excursions or meals for entire party which was my only serious headache with Princess. -laundry is everywhere but rooms only have a few machines so you wander the boat looking for an open one.

Hello everyone, This is a review for a recent Cruise to Alaska aboard the Emerald Princess, Jen & I…read moreplanned this trip with a couple friends of ours Sharon & Zane, this is our first cruise so yes we where excited, we were about 6 months out so did quite a bit of research on what to expect and not and things to bring & not, everything was helpful and a few experienced cruisers we talked with. Well our sail off got 4-5 hours delayed due to a crane that damaged a life boat while loading supplies, so roughly 9pm we were off and I mean full Power ahead, guessing to make up some time due to life boat damage. With full speed ahead and some bad weather on the ocean and some pretty good sea waves that wasn't expected it turned out SEVERAL passengers got motion sickness including Jen, we had a Awesome cabin steward that helped me get some remedies together for Jen, OK folks this combination of thinly sliced Ginger and a Green Apple was amazing, Jen was feeling better within 2 hours. One issue we had and I would advise everyone to check their account DAILY, we didn't buy the alcohol package but noticed on the second day Jen had 7 alcohol charges and me 2 charges, we headed to guest services to dispute the charges while there the CS rep ( we felt ) didn't believe us and even asking Jen if I was buying, here's the best part as we were standing there and the rep had our account up on the screen another charge came through while standing there, the look on the lady's face was shocking, no more question asked and account was credited, my question is why this keep happening when we are all assigned a Medallion to use for purchases on the cruise, I did go and order a coke and noticed the bartenders never asked for the medallion which verifies you with a picture and room number??? I don't understand all the hype on the food ( buffet ) as it got old by the 4th day, our formal dinner nights were much better, the entertainment was pretty good for the most part. Our excursions were fun regardless of the cold weather and rain, it was nice to be off the ship walking around seeing all the shops ( tourists traps lol ). Finally, will we do another cruise? Probably but not soon, we both really enjoy driving on our vacation more freedom to stop & go & see things on your time not on a schedule.

I hunted AK in September of 2017 and my bush pilot highly recommended I use Alaska Air Transit…read more(AAT) but I decided to book PenAir instead thinking they'd be more reliable because they are a bigger airline, plus their tickets were less expensive. I had to be in a small village on 9/13 to catch a flight into the bush with a bush pilot who was all booked up. Two weeks prior to my flight to AK, Penn Air cancelled my 9/13 flight to McGrath, AK leaving me in a very bad spot because there are only 2 airlines who fly to this McGrath. I was told I would get a full refund since they cancelled the flight. This ended up being a total lie. I immediately called AAT and was very lucky they had a few seats left so I booked with them. I am certain a lot of Penn Air customers were not able to get to this village on time or had to pay big bucks to charter a flight there. The AAT flight went off without a hitch and those working at AAT were very friendly, accommodating and professional. When I got to McGrath, all I heard from those who used PeAir was horrible stories; several were stuck in this village 4 days, spending $250 a night for the only Hotel, waiting for PenAir to get their luggage to them. I had booked refundable tickets with Penn Air on my flight back to Anchorage so after my bad experience and those from others, I called PenAir and asked if I cancelled my flight would I get a refund and was told I would since I booked a refundable tickets. This too ended up being a lie. I cancelled the PenAir flight and booked with AAT. The flight back to Anchorage with AAT again went off without a hitch and the pilot was nice and professional. Had it not been for AAT and their dependability, and a little luck on my part they still has seats available, my AK Hunt would have been a bust. AAT is a little more expensive but well worth it. I have learned a very expensive lesson about who to fly with in AK and will always use AAT going forward. I cannot say how thankful and grateful I am to all the AAT staff for being dependable, reliable, friendly and professional! As the old adage goes...you get what you pay for! It is January 6, 2018 and I still have not gotten refunded for the tickets PenAir staff told me without question I would be refunded. Fly Alaska Air Transit!

We got a message saying the night we booked did not look so good so we pushed it to the next night. The weather was better for seeing and we had a great time. You let them know what hotel you are at and they will tell you want time that they are picking you up. They take you to two locations to see the aurora and teach you how to setup your camera or phone. This is very helpful as we never used the night functions on the camera or phone before and to get the best shots you need to have the correct settings. They provide a tripod if you do not have one. They also take a group shot of your party if you want so you have professional photos with your group with the aurora in the background. They also provide some snacks and hot drinks. They had the van running while we took photos for those who wanted to go warm up as the temperature was 23 degrees. Definitely worth it!!

The tire was clearly not flat or off the rim when I drove in and left the vehicle. Additionally, the check-in attendant did not note or mention any issue with the tire when my vehicle was signed in, which further confirms it was not in that condition at drop-off.
