Princess Alaska cruises handbook

[Essiesmom]

Do the Alaska cruises still sell/reference their book The Alaska Cruise Companion by Rachel Cartwright? It was published in 2012 and we bought on on Coral in 2013. EM

Have you checked Amazon?

I think the book you are referring is The Alaska Cruise Companion by Joe Upton and I believe the last addition of that was in 2012.

I'm going to have the guess the answer is Yes

 

Every day the Patter had something from the Navigator and it referenced pages in a book. Saw the book on sale in the shop but didn't pay much attention to it.

It was for sale onboard during our last four cruises this spring.

It is this book:

and I was not seeking to buy one, just to know if they still use it on Alaska cruises. I'm glad to see that it is. EM

Does anyone recall how much it sells for on the ship? Might make a good birthday gift for my Mother?

 

Happy Cruising!

Think I have seen it in the gift shop on every Alaska cruise.

Thank you very much for the information. I did not think to look at the gifts page! Interestingly it seems to be much cheaper than what is on Amazon! Best to just get it onboard with OBC & Elite discount I guess.

 

Happy Cruising!

If I remember correctly is that Princess doesn't sell the book on Amazon.

Ditto on the thanks for this post - it is much cheaper than the used copies being resold on Amazon. Now I know for sure to wait to buy it onboard.

Note: This item is only available from third-party sellers

So basically we cruise passenger are trying to fleece each other. :D

If I remember correctly the same book is available on Amazon, but Princess just sells their own version with a different cover. We ordered one in advance of our Alaska cruise last year and it was comparable in price to the ones for sale onboard. At any rate, it was very nice to have for the HUGE map that comes with it to track your progress. We hung ours up on the wall by the balcony with some magnets and consulted it frequently. I also liked having the book in advance to read the stories and background info prior to the cruise.

On our two Alaska cruises the gift shop had a ton of them, plus you could get them signed by the Captain and/or the naturalist doing the narration. We bought a copy in advance from a bookstore. I got to read it before the cruise instead of spending the whole cruise reading

Rachel was on our Alaskan Cruise on the Golden that got back yesterday. It was fun meeting her and marking our route in the map with the book. That's not to mention having her sign the book in person.

 

Her presentations on whales and Orcas were wonderful.
