rgmacm Posted August 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) We are considering tickets for Mt. Roberts Tramway on our upcoming Alaska cruise, but want to make sure weather will cooperate before making that purchase. What is the process for purchasing that on board? - how far in advance? Do you just go to the ShoreX desk, purchase and get your tickets right then? or wait for them to be delivered to your room? I've heard these are actually refundable if unused (an allowance for Mt Roberts Tram tickets only.....) Is it just better to buy, then return if weather is uncooperative? Edit: (sorry...didn't think about putting this in the original post...) I'm actually WANTING to purchase these tickets from PCL as we have LOTS of OBC that we must either use or lose..... :) :) :) Edited August 4, 2017 by rgmacm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcdcruiser Posted August 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tickets can be purchased from tram operator once ashore. No need for advance purchase. Sure they have a web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted August 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2017 You can purchase them at the base of the Tram. No need to go through Princess for this. Worth doing in great weather only, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMHCruiseCouple Posted August 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Tram tickets easy to get at the lower portal. The wait to get aboard the gondola can get long if a nice day and 5 - 6 ships in port. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you purchase excursions in advance all excursion tickets will be in your room. If you purchase an excursion on board they print excursion tickets out for you onboard. Because the weather can really impact visibility on Mt. Roberts we just purchase the tickets at the tram. This has worked well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgmacm Posted August 4, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Yes I know you can get them at the Tram.... I should have put in my post (sorry....didn't really think about it...but will edit it...) that we have TONS of OBC that we need to use....or lose...so I actually WANT to purchase it from Princess.... It's the same price and keeps that money from 'going away'. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play very little, cash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtntwo Posted August 4, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2017 At the bottom of Princess shore excursion description special notes section it says full refund given for unused tickets returned to them by end the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted August 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Purchase tickets in port. If you can't see the top or raining hard don't go. There is vary , if ever a line to get on the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugaltravel Posted August 4, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 4, 2017 At the bottom of Princess shore excursion description special notes section it says full refund given for unused tickets returned to them by end the day. My guess is that if a person used OBC to purchase the ticket, they would get refunded to OBC, not receive cash. The casino or other excursions would be a much better way to use a "ton" of OBC. Some flightseeing excursions are very expensive. Should be easy to use a "ton" of OBC just for those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
