falltex Posted December 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2010 FYI. I just saved $200 on my reservation for a Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise! Alaska RR is offering a special through Wednesday, 12/22/10...$100 gift certificates (non-refundable) for only $50! I purchased 4 (5 is the max you can buy) and used those for the cruise package I reserved. It's a great deal...thought you might like to know. Go to the Alaska Railroad website for details.

chinita415 Posted December 21, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks for the heads up! I thought you meant they offer discounted boat tours, but basically it's 50% off the rail tickets right? You buy the gift certificates to purchase rail tickets? If true, I'll buy them for our Seward to Anchorage trip. Do you know what the "additional restrictions" are? From the website: $100 Gift Certificates are on sale for $50 from 7 am Monday, December 13 through Wednesday, December 22nd at 5 pm. The maximum purchase per customer is 5 ($100) Gift Certificates for a maximum purchase value of $500. Gift Certificates are not refundable or redeemable for Cash. Valid ONE year from the date of issue. Not valid for Gift Shop purchases or onboard dining. Not Valid for Resale. Additional restrictions may apply.

falltex Posted December 22, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm not aware of what additional restrictions there might be. On the same phone call, I purchased the gift certs and used those to pay for the PWS tour package...RT ANC to Whittier and 5 hour glacier cruise. The pkg was $217 pp...total $434. With the gift certs, I paid $234. Nice savings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisin'mama Posted December 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Boy, booking early didn't pay in my instance. I booked a couple of weeks ago and already paid. Wow, that was a costly mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinita415 Posted December 23, 2010 #7 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I almost forgot about this today! Just called and got the certificates. I wasn't sure about paying extra for the Goldstar Service. This sale cinched the deal for me. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
