Princess Alaska Cruise Companion

[Silver Streak]

I have heard that you can order a Princess Alaska Cruise Companion book to go along with your cruise. I understand it costs $25. Exactly what is in this book and is it worth the price? Thanks for any help you can give me.:)

Here's a thread I started about it last week: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=510702

I ordered the Alaska Cruise Companion by Joe Upton from Amazon or Ebay - currently $11.09 on Amazon including postage for the 2005 edition. It HAS to be the same except without Princess in the title! I'm not sure I'd pay $25 for it, but definitely worth $11.09 (although I think I paid less than that).

I don't see anything on Amazon for under $22.63 for the Princess edition (2004). Where are you seeing the 2005 edition for $11.09? The Coastal Companion is very similar, as I posted on the other thread, but the copyright date is 2004.

I did NOT say it was the Princess edition - I said I'm sure it's the same without Princess in the title!!

Ebay has it for 8.99 including shipping - but I didn't check what edition it was. My edition IS copyright 2005

Thanks! This is what you get when you search by author: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/103-8211453-1089413?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Joe+Upton&Go.x=9&Go.y=12 Amazon says the book you have is written by JOHN Upton! No wonder "Joe Upton" didn't bring up THAT edition! Next time I'll know to search by title!

All I can tell you is that the one in front of me was written by JOE Upton, and came with the great map, and I paid less than $10 for it. ;)

If only Amazon had the right author listed when I searched for Joe Upton books 2 weeks ago, I would've ordered a used version of the book you have instead of the one I now have! I still might do that and return the book I ordered. Thanks for your help!
