Thank yoU!!!

[shellmisi]

Thank you so much for all this information!

[baseballmom]

Thank you so much for sharing this list! I hope you have a wonderful cruise. Only one bad thing...now I'll really have to spend the next three weeks saving every penny so I can shop at the places you listed! Oh, the pain, the pain!!

Have a great time in S.F., too. It's a fantastic city!

Booth


Thank you for your input. I hadn't even considered what to do in SF. Now I have the day planned.

So there is an Alaskian coupon book. Which pier is it Pier 39 or is it as Fishermans Wharf?

Thanks
Deb

[binny]

Awesome list thank you!!!

[booth22]

Deb, according to my wonderful wife who did all this research she found out they give coupon books out in seattle and vancouver at the pier/ near the ship itself. We aren't sure about San Fran- but were going to keep an eye out. Let us know if you find them/ they give them out for the regal sailing as well. booth

[jasl]

Wonderful details, Booth. . . . . . . thank you so much. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and ENJOY your trip.

[Deb in Cali]

Booth,


Tell your wonderful wife thank you. I will look for them. We might also give the heads up to some of the SF cruisers to see if they have seen them.

Thank you Booth and your wife for this great list. Even I who is going on my third trip in 11 days found the list to be fantastic. I know that took alot of work and we really do appreciate it. Again thank you.

And another thing we want to do in San Francisco is go to the Boudin Bakery. If you like sour dough bread, they make it with a little from the first batch over 100 years ago. And they now have a demonstration bakery on the wharf.

Just bringing it up for those who didn't see it!

[susanv64]

Booth22...I'd never seen this list before. Thanks for "bringing it up" and thanks to you and your wife for sharing it with us! Great information!!! Looks like I have some more Alaska planning to do.

[booth22]

You're welcome! I figure after a little while it'll get burried in the back of posts, and judging by the # of views I think people are using some of the info!

Thank you so much for the original post. That will be a great help.

Does anyone know if they hand out the coupon books in Whittier for the Southbound Cruises? We'll be on Princess Southbound so we'll be out of Whittier not Seward or some other town.

[jonikal]

Let me join those who've thanked you, Booth, and your wife, for the fantastic job you did putting all that info together. I look forward to checking out all the sites and getting even more excited about our upcoming Alaska Cruise! Can't wait to try the salmon jerky!
