Thanks, DMD and welcome to LCT! Where in California are you? We are having a California Brunch on May 1st in Long Beach. Thanks for the good info.

The last trip you posted is pretty close to what I am getting the quote on. It appears to pick you up in Anchorage in the morning so you'd have to overnight there. I am getting a quote to motorcoach direct to Denali since the motorcoach is faster and it will make several stops for sightseeing. I am also including the Anchorage overnight stay post tour in the quote.
They will meet the ship, take us to Denali, two or three nights in Denali and One night in Anchorage.
