Happy cruising [emoji3] We're doing a Panama cruise next month so was also checking our adaptors to see what we needed for the trip and have concluded we need the two vertical straight pins, plus dual voltage of course.

The wall sockets have the three holes but most electrical items that are plugged in only have the two slanted prongs. Yours will work fine.

Thank you!!!

 

What about in Denali with the school bus type vehicles? Did one have a lift?

Sorry I don't recall if there was a lift on the Tundra Wilderness Tour bus as it was a few years ago now but I have just checked the website which states it is wheelchair accessible. The lady in the wheelchair definitely came with us on the tour (just checked my photos - she was in her chair on the bus) and I remember thinking how great it was that she was able to join in with everything.

Thank you so much for this review. We are doing this connessiour tour mpnext August for my 50th birthday.

 

 

 

My question is did you see any mobility impaired guests? Ones using a wheelchair or scooter? I assume the buses are handicap accessible but I know a lot of the big buses that are used for tours are not. However with this being in the US I expect everything to be very ADA compliant.

 

 

 

Thanks, Kari

Hi Kari

We had a lady on our tour that was in a wheelchair and it didn't appear to be issue. Our bus had a lift for her.

Oh wow - loved reading your review as it brought back such great memories of our trip to Alaska four years ago - Michael Moore was also our tour guide. We found him amazing too and he made our holiday so memorable.

I think it's more OBC and reduced deposit for one week only if you are a past customer but only on selected cruises. I always find the promos quite vague.

Thanks for the heads-up. Checked price for potential upcoming cruise mid 2019 but price had gone up $200 pp but so had the OBC so ends up much the same. Might wait and pay the FCD when onboard our cruise in September 2018 as long as we're happy with that cruise [emoji3]

Yes the Buzz Bar does have a layer of caramel. Jaffas and Snifters were made by Cadbury under the Pascall brand. You can still buy Jaffas but not sure about Snifters.

Love Whittaker's - way better than Cadbury. :-)

Me too [emoji515][emoji3]

All the supermarkets stock Krispies and Gingernuts.

My daughter stocks up on malt biscuits and eskimos or fruit puffs when she comes home so she can make lolly cake for work shouts back in Sydney.

You should be able to buy Nestle Pixie Caramel bars and Baby Chocolate Fish from Countdown Supermarket, Central Dunedin. Not sure about Buzz Bars although you can still buy them online along with the full size chocolate fish.

In Dunedin you could visit https://www.grannyannies.co.nz which is located in the main shopping area.

So wish people "down under" were able to get these deals as well [emoji34] So disheartening reading all the posts about the deals people in the US can get.

Hi everyone,

 

 

 

we are looking at booking an Alaska land and cruise package through Princess Cruises for ourselves and our 6 year old son.

 

 

 

However, we can't decide between the Denali Explorer package or the Connoisseur Tour onboard Royal Princess

 

 

 

Also best month June, July or Aug? Top of the list to see are whales (orcas), bears and moose.

 

 

 

THANK YOU for any advice

Hi

We did a Connoisseur Tour with Princess a few years ago late July/early August. Weather was perfect and sea calm. Tour started Fairbanks 2 nights/Denali 2 nights/Mt McKinley two nights then 7 night cruise to Vancouver. We found the tour section more hectic than the cruise so was pleased to do the cruise last. Also two nights in each place was great too. With the Connoisseur tour all meals were included so it was good to be given vouchers and not have to worry about paying each time. Itinerary and meals were great and we saw bears and moose in the wild, some a bit too close for comfort but very exciting. We also saw lots of whale on the cruise albeit at a distance. Overall the trip was fantastic and would highly recommend. It was our ever first cruise and was on Pacific Princess.
