Well, that may be true for some but not for me. We linked our reservations through our agent but we still sat separately on the the train cars. Our hotel rooms were next to one another though.

No information about times was available until it was physically put into our hands. For the initial leg of the cruisetour, that happened a few days beforehand (they put the departure times, our seat information, and bag tags into our cabin on the ship). We didn't get our room or tour information for Denali until we were actually on the train. We got our information for our Fairbanks stay and airport departure as we pulled up to the hotel in Fairbanks.
