Denali Dollars?

[TxEx2x]

We have a land tour after our cruise that stops at Denali. Our package included a specified amount of 'Denali Dollars.' Does anyone know what these can be used on? Can I expect to get anything more than a bottle of water for 25 Denali Dollars? Are they accepted by all (or any of) the restaurants in the area? I've tried searching and asking the travel agent, but have come up empty handed so far...

Maybe cruiseline specific. If your TA doesn't know, why don't they call the cruiseline for details ? or maybe you'll have to.

Never heard of "Denali Dollars"... Which cruiseline are you doing your tour with?

I live a two hour drive north of Denali, and have never heard of some sort of "Denali Dollar." Is this some sort of credit for use in the cruise line facilities?

I hadn't heard of it either. From HAL's website:

I have Denali Dollars. We will be cruising on the Noordam in June. We booked through AAA last Sept. We attended a Holland America Alaska presentation and the Denali Dollars were part of that promotion. I had the understanding that we could use the Denali Dollars in Denali at the Holland America Denali Square.

Even HAL was pretty vague when they told us we would get them. I think it will come off bill at hotel from dining onsite.

 

Is the village area like a resort with everything a room charge? Or will we need to pay individually if we dine in various spots.

 

Wonder if we went to Princess Lodge to eat if it works.

Denali Dollars should work at both McKinely Chalet and Denali Princess. I think there are a couple of other places they are accepted - maybe Grande Denali Lodge?

Thanks everyone. I was hoping someone who had been on one of these cruisetours last season would chime in. The agents I asked at Holland America and my travel agent were both very vague, and I got tired of waiting for 20 minutes each time I asked a question for him to go try to find the answer.

 

We're travelling with kids and by this time in the trip, I don't envision a big sit down meal at the Karstens Public House. I was hoping that the pizza place took them, or we could use them to get an ice cream or something. Or maybe I can send my husband down to Karstens for a few beers after the kids go to bed! I guess we'll just be surprised when we get there.

Sounds like land version of OBC - OLC? :confused:
