Take the 15 day cruise tour with the land tour before the cruise. Thanks, that's what I was hoping Another question- with Princess is it better to book early or wait for a late deal?

TIA Cathy If you want a connoisseur tour, you need to book early. If you are in the US you can often re-fare, just make sure you book with a refundable deposit.

cruzrbachoua Posted October 24, 2018 #29 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Oooh so the cruisetours do go on sale? I was under the impression that those never were part of the deals like 3 for free and fare drops and such...will for sure keep my eye out for those drops! 6 hours ago, Coral said: If you want a connoisseur tour, you need to book early.

You may be able to go from promo to promo if there is still space open. My sister did a tour this summer and she booked it under an Anniversary sale. The tour itself you don't get anything but the cruise you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzrbachoua Posted October 24, 2018 #31 Share Posted October 24, 2018 ok so I will keep an eye out for the sales and have my TA check to see if they can get me that deal...don't think there will be a deal out when I book as I plan on hopping right on this on nov 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer115 Posted October 25, 2018 #32 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Do you think the 3 for free that is on until the 19th of November will be available when booking these cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is only good for cruises through Spring 2020. You would need to re-fare it next year (same time next year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer115 Posted October 26, 2018 #34 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Coral, I actually got the brochure in the mail today from Princess and the 3 for free is available on these cruises if booked before the 19th as well as free cruisetour cash.

Dreamer115 Posted October 26, 2018 #40 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yea Coral me too. Reguarding 3 for free - Alaska starts in May and they will qualify and who knows you can ask your TA or Princess if you book on your own. But they will qualify for May absolutely. That is when we are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretlyfi Posted October 27, 2018 #42 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thank you for posting the itineraries. Will the details for each itineraries-meaning the port times-be available before they are open for sale? Port times sometimes help me choose one over another. Wanted to try and narrow down my choice ahead of time so I can book as soon as they open. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the date listed (i.e Grand 5/22 for Connoisseur RB8) the date the cruise starts from Whittier/Anchorage or the date of land portion starting?

Be careful with this as you don't want to hit Denali before June 1. I would go for the next one on 6/5. I found the reference flyer easier to read.
