You fly into Anchorage thinking you're almost at your cruise ship. Not quite! And what happens when your departure port changes halfway through your Alaska land tour? That's exactly what happened to us. Our ship was supposed to leave from Seward, but halfway through our land tour, the departure port changed to Whittier. So how did the cruise line handle it? What's it like going through Whittier's famous one-lane tunnel? And should you take the train or bus from Anchorage? We also compare Whittier and Seward, including what each offers before you board. From the unusual tunnel into Whittier to Seward's Alaska SeaLife Center and whale-watching opportunities, these are two very different places to start an Alaska cruise. **The lesson? Getting to Anchorage doesn't mean you've made it to the ship.** ▶ From our full episode: **"The Real Cost of Getting to Your Cruise (Before You Even Board)"** — Past the Gangway with Anthony & Katie. ▶ Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/9OUgSdO2nCY 🧭 Planning an Alaska cruise?
