点评:We did the rail and cruise Glacier Quest combo from Anchorage. The train doesn't move that fast but we were in no hurry. The commentary on the train was just about the right amount and a few "Dad Jokes" were thrown in too. Seating was OK with 4 to table. 2 facing forward and two facing back. Seats are assigned but we didn't get to pick. We were facing forward so no problem but we wouldn't be happy if facing back. Boarding the boat in Whittier was quick and easy. The boat was in great shape and was only a few years old. Seats were also assigned on the boat but again no mention of seat choice when booking. We had a table of 4 in the front so every time we stopped to look lots of people got up and stood in front of us. Seats on the side didn't have that issue. There are some seats in the Middle that would be annoying. The Glaciers were awesome and we saw a fair amount of wildlife. Again the commentary was very good and the right amount. One thing that wasn't 100% clear from the cruise description is that 80% of the days in the year are cloudy and misty. The forecast on our day was for exactly that so we prepared and ventured outside on the deck a few times. The food (salmon chowder) was very good and accompanied by a roll and other snacks. The bar had a good selection of other drinks and snacks too. We got up very close to two huge glaciers and passed by a few others and that was fine for us. We didn't feel we missed anything by not going on the 26 glacier cruise. After the cruise we had about 90min before the return train and we just went next door to The Inn At Whittier for a snack and glass of wine before the return. It was a long day and a little pricey but we thought it was well worth it.
翻译:我们从安克雷奇出发,搭乘了火车和游轮组成的冰川探索之旅。火车速度不快,但我们也不着急。火车上的解说词恰到好处,还穿插了一些“老爸笑话”。座位安排还行,一张桌子坐四个人,两个面向前方,两个面向后方。座位是固定的,但我们没法选择。我们面向前方,所以没问题,但如果面向后方,我们就不太方便了。在惠蒂尔登船很快很方便。船况很好,只有几年船龄。船上也有固定的座位,但预订时也没有提到座位选择。我们坐在前面的一张四人桌,所以每次我们停下来观看,都会有很多人起身站在我们前面。坐在侧面的座位就没这个问题了。中间的座位有些不太方便。冰川景色很棒,我们看到了不少野生动物。解说词也很精彩,而且数量适中。游轮描述中没有完全说明的一点是,一年中80%的日子都是阴天和雾天。我们当天的天气预报也确实如此,所以我们提前做好准备,在甲板上玩了几次。食物(鲑鱼杂烩)非常美味,配上面包卷和其他小吃。酒吧里也有很多其他饮料和小吃可供选择。我们非常靠近两座巨大的冰川,也经过了其他几座冰川,这对我们来说还不错。我们并不觉得因为没有参加26号冰川游轮而错过了什么。游轮结束后,离回程火车还有大约90分钟的时间,我们只是去了隔壁的惠蒂尔酒店吃了点小吃,喝了杯葡萄酒,然后就回程了。这是漫长的一天,而且有点贵,但我们觉得非常值得。
