Don't waste your time listening to your ships so called "shopping experts" tell you about all of the free stuff you are going to get at Diamonds International; as well as at all of the other stores the cruise industry pushes.
We went to the initial shopping seminar to learn about unique opportunities for Alaskan items. However it turned into an hour long advertisement for the stores that were in cahoots with our cruise line and all others.
We smelled this one right away, but heard of others being duped all we long an in every port. There was a big group of farmers on our boot this week and they have wasted a lot of time trying to collect the free "gifts" as well as wasted a lot of time on Diamonds International and all the other sorry vendors.
Did a little research and found this out. My only concern is that if this vendor has so many complaints and is obviously a scam, then why is Celebrity and the other cruise lines in bed with them??? I know it is for money, but can't believe they would perpetuate this on hardworking folks that don't know any better.

Skagway Brewing had great food and even better beer.
The Red Onion was a tourist trap according to several others traveling with us.

Thanks for the great advice. Had checked rental cars in Seward but they were $350ish. Had not thought about the quick transfer and then $100 car in Anchorage. Just booked both.
Helps to have smart friends!

We get in on Celebrity's Millennium on Friday, July 29th. Was hoping to take the train but it leaves too late in the day for us to make our flight later that same day.
Would appreciate any advice you may have on the best transfers (and/or tours) that will get us to Anchorage.
Our flight is not until 11:35pm that night so we have a full day to kill.

Great tip. What costs were associated with laundry?
