LostAgain Posted September 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I saw on these boards that people recommend the Alaska Cruise Handbook, a Mile by Mile Guide by Joe Upton, and I bought that book/map set. Now I have recent Princess Patters from the same cruise I will be on next June (round trip from Seattle through Glacier Bay), and that mentions the Alaska Cruise Companion Book. Is that a different book? I do want to be able to follow along on the notes from the ship navigator. Your advice is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted September 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2017 They use a book by Rachel Cartwright. Here is an old edition: https://www.amazon.com/Alaska-Cruise-Companion-Naturalists-Alaskas/dp/1889467367 ----- Joe Upton has a few Alaska books and they used to use his books years ago. I believe his book was called a Cruise Companion also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostAgain Posted September 16, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Coral, doing a search for a newer edition didn't bring up much so I am grateful that you came back with more info. I will wait until we are on board and, perhaps, don't even need it. Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
