Anybody need Spirit Alaska excursion prices?

[Gopherville Gal]

I have 'em and would be glad to share. Since there are so many excursion options, it would be helpful to know which ones y'all are interested in, so's I don't have to try to post 'em all.

[noodle]

Yes..yes...please. We are interested in the Taku Glacier Lodge flight with lunch and the whale watching out of juneau.

The best of skagway.

Kayaking in Ketchikan.

Thanks!

By the way, what excursions did your group do and how were they? How was your trip as a whole?

Pride 02/15/04
Spirit 05/11/05

[imsulin]

Yes!! We need them, even though we are going on the Spirit next year. At least it'll give us some ball-park prices! Please send them to [email]imsulin@charter.net[/email], or post them here. Thanks so much!!

[Gopherville Gal]

Taku Wilderness Lodge in Juneau = $235
Best of Skag/Rail-Summit-TrCamp-Salmon Bake & Brothel Tour = $179
Kayaking in Ketchikan – Tatoosh Island Sea Kayaking = $134
...or Whiskey Cove Kayaking = $89
Whale Watching in Juneau – Evening Whale Quest = $139
...or Whale Quest & Salmon Bake = $149
...or Whale Watching/wildlife Quest = $119

[Gopherville Gal]

NOODLE.....we haven't gone yet...next month. The more we read, the more we're becoming convinced to book excursions on our own, at the port of call. The only thing is that if you really, really didn't want to miss out on something, you could either pre-book it directly with the tour company (before leaving home) or book on board.

IMSULIN....could you please check on the Spirit's site and let me know which ones you are interested in...there are so many!

[noodle]

Thanks Gopherville...helps to save and budget accordingly. Be sure to come back and post on your alaskan adventure! Have a great time.

GophervilleGal - can you please give me a link or direction to the Spirit site? There will be about 40 of us on the Aug. 10, 2005 Spirit. Also, please let me know about Vancouver excursions, as we will be there for two days before our cruise. Thanks so much!

[Gopherville Gal]

IMSULIN...[url]http://carnival.com/[/url]
Then, click on Shore Excursions (at top) and enter where you're going with Carnival and the port of call you're checking out...there's a list. You check them out, one by one. 40 of you! How fun! I'll see what I can find out for you re VancBC.

[Gopherville Gal]

IMSULIN...Go to the C.Critic's "Ports of Call" board,then to "Alaska". Find the post called "10 Things to Do in Vancouver"; then the one called "Vancouver Restaurants".

[CruisinMK]

I haven't booked yet, but this ship and itinerary are exactly what I am shopping for right now. I'm trying to find a bargain spirit alaska cruise going anytime this summer, single person in a cabin, preferably northbound. Airfare basically free/flexible for me so a non-issue.

I'm focused on this itinerary because I have a 50% off carnival coupon due to a previous botched carnival cruise, and I'm burned out on the Carribean. Since I'm a repeat carnival cruiser, maybe I should look into additional discounts due to that. They seem to offer the best deals for last minute buyers, so maybe I'll try that. All ideas/tips welcome.

[Guest Crazeecat5]

Hi Noodle,
It's me, Sheryl from the Pride cruise. I was checking out Alaska boards because Robert and I were thinking of doing that cruise next summer, when I saw your post. I see you are going in May. How exciting! Have you heard from any of our other friends from the Pride? Haven't been on CCL boards much because we are going on RCCL in Europe this summer. Not a traitor, it's just that CCl doesn't do Europe. Keep in touch.
Sheryl

until cruising on the Splendor of the Seas

GophervilleGal, I will be on the 9/1/04 Southbound Spirit. The only pricing I have been able to get from Carnival were price ranges.

Hi!

We're sailing on the Spirit from Vancouver to Honolulu on 9/22/04. Haven't been able to get excursion prices from Carnival either via email or their website. Would appreciate it if you'd send prices or post online. Thanks

Hey MikeKay, I had a 50% off coupon as well for a 7 day cruise cancelled in 2002 by Carnival when I showed up at the pier. Coupon was good for any cruise up to 12 days, so used it for this 12 day Hawaii cruise on the Spirit. Carnival was nice enough to give 50% off to my cabinmate as well, even though it wasn't the same person I was with when the cruise got cancelled. Anyway, wish you luck on booking a cruise. I've gone solo 3 times now out of 20 cruises. Only when I can't find someone to join me.

Crazeecat...I just ran across your post and see that you are on your cruise to europe. Next year Carnival will be in europe!

Well, if you are thinking of doing alaska, I can't say enough about our cruise, May 11th, 2005. It would be too funny if we were on the same cruise again. I really enjoyed meeting you and all the CC members on the Pride. Mike keeps telling me that I am a famous cruise chick since so many people on the Pride knew me from the boards. But after the newlywed game, he too became "famous."

Solo has started a rollcall for our alaskan adventure...so look for me there.

[Fondy]

Several weeks ago, I emailed Carnival Guest Services and requested a complete shore excursion list with prices. Within a few days, I received an email with all info. (I actually posted the name of excursion and costs on a different cruise forum web-site, but I see someone already did that here). I do have them (along with complete excursion descriptions) in an e-mail so if anyone is interested, I could forward that e-mail. Be prepared, it's about 40 pages if you print the e-mail.

Just e-mailed them to you. Hope you find the information as useful as we did. Don't know why Carnival doesn't just post the prices on their web-page???

I will be sooo glad to flip the calendar page tomorrow as that means we have less than a month before we go (Northbound 7/28)

Happy Cruising to all!

Its almost cruise time for you!! :)

[Fondy]

until we board the Spirit for our first ever cruise! It was so exciting when we got our docs! However was surprised to see that the excursion book didn't contain prices either. Can't for the life of me understand why Carnival doesn't just post the actual dollar amount - not like we're not going to eventually find out how much the excursions will cost!?! As I said in an earlier post, I just e-mailed customer service and they replied with the complete list so it's not a state secret or anything.

We booked three things on our own (Floatplane, whale watching, and rental car) so all we need to book on the ship is our Sitka excursion and our Whittier to Anchorage excursion (we have pre-paid transfer but now found out our return flight isn't til 10pm so we get an extra day of sight-seeing - yeah!)

Bon Voyage!
