National parks passport - available onboard?

[Wolfhunt]

We are going on our first Alaska cruise and I was doing some reading about Glacier Bay on the National Parks site. They mention that there will be a table set up by the park rangers on board and they will have the parks passport stamp. Does anyone know if they sell the parks passport on board or do we need to get one before we cruise?

They did not have them for sale when I sailed, just the stamp, stamp pad, & scratch paper.

Thanks, I'll order ours before we leave then (just have to remember to pack them)

As opposed to me needing to find ours. (My husband & son last had in the Florida...:rolleyes:)

Do you need the national parks passport?

If you don't live near a National Park, but want the Passport, you can order them online through the National Parks website. My husband and I have one and each of my girls. Great souvenir!

 

They do have the stamp available for Glacier Bay, and you can get one in Skagway for Gold Rush NP. Of course if you travel on to Denali......It's the 100th Anniversary of National Parks. Great way to commemorate!

No it is a souvenir item - people collect the stamps.

You can get a stamp in Seward, 2 different locations I know of.

There are actually at least five different stamps you can get in Denali, six if you include the Ranger Station in Talkeetna.

This will make my husband very happy. He is crazy getting the NP stamps in his passport book. He takes it with him everywhere because "you never know". He got a stamp at the lighthouse in Kauai and made his and the rangers day with his excitement :)
