Only one bad thing...now I'll really have to spend the next three weeks saving every penny so I can shop at the places you listed! Oh, the pain, the pain!!:D Have a great time in S.F., too.

Deb in Cali Posted May 17, 2005 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Booth Thank you for your input. I hadn't even considered what to do in SF. Now I have the day planned. So there is an Alaskian coupon book. Which pier is it Pier 39 or is it as Fishermans Wharf? Thanks Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booth22 Posted May 17, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Deb, according to my wonderful wife who did all this research she found out they give coupon books out in seattle and vancouver at the pier/ near the ship itself. We aren't sure about San Fran- but were going to keep an eye out. Let us know if you find them/ they give them out for the regal sailing as well. booth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb in Cali Posted May 17, 2005 #13 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Booth, Tell your wonderful wife thank you. I will look for them. We might also give the heads up to some of the SF cruisers to see if they have seen them. Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted May 17, 2005 #14 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Thank you Booth and your wife for this great list. Even I who is going on my third trip in 11 days found the list to be fantastic. I know that took alot of work and we really do appreciate it. Again thank you. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marpal Posted May 17, 2005 #15 Share Posted May 17, 2005 And another thing we want to do in San Francisco is go to the Boudin Bakery. If you like sour dough bread, they make it with a little from the first batch over 100 years ago. And they now have a demonstration bakery on the wharf.

susanv64 Posted May 21, 2005 #17 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Booth22...I'd never seen this list before. Thanks for "bringing it up" and thanks to you and your wife for sharing it with us! Great information!!! Looks like I have some more Alaska planning to do. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booth22 Posted May 21, 2005 Author #18 Share Posted May 21, 2005 You're welcome! I figure after a little while it'll get burried in the back of posts, and judging by the # of views I think people are using some of the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a great help. Does anyone know if they hand out the coupon books in Whittier for the Southbound Cruises? We'll be on Princess Southbound so we'll be out of Whittier not Seward or some other town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonikal Posted May 21, 2005 #20 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Let me join those who've thanked you, Booth, and your wife, for the fantastic job you did putting all that info together. I look forward to checking out all the sites and getting even more excited about our upcoming Alaska Cruise! Can't wait to try the salmon jerky!

herewego Posted May 22, 2005 #21 Share Posted May 22, 2005 My friend sailed out of Vancouver and brought me over 2 of the coupons books last night! she ha gotten them before boarding - looking through them made me even more anixious to go!! We will be leaving out of Seattle and I am hoping they'll have some there as they are really great! Samantha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booth22 Posted May 22, 2005 Author #22 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Since I don't know if they will have coupon books can someone possibly grab us a few and send them our way? I'd be happy to pay for postage since I don't know if they have them in San Fran. I'd hate to miss out if there are good deals. Anyone who can help can email me at przeor@yahoo.com Thanks, booth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabado Posted May 22, 2005 #23 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I agree with the getting out of the heat. 66 days is too long and waiting until the middle of September like I am is Waaaay too long. This hot this early in the season stinks big time :) I think we both need to stowaway on an Alaskan cruise before our time :) Have a good trip when you finally get there!
