Carnival Spirit - Alaska

[TamaLee]

We are sailing Northbound on the Carnival Spirit on May 31st. I am looking for input from individuals who have flown from the Southwest or West using the Carnival Air program.

 

I would like to know what airline/flights that Carnvial provided for your flight to Vancouver and home from Anchorage.

 

Please do not post to make my own air arrangements. I am considering that as well, but I have a special issue and I need to consider Carnival air program as well. So I really would like to hear from individuals who have used the Carnival air program.

 

I have also posted this on the Cruise Air board, but thought I would post here as well since this board gets more action.

 

Thanks

We booked our airfare with Carnival for our Spirit Southbound cruise. We were coming from Phoenix, Arizona. Our flights were on Alaska Airlines with a stop in Seattle both ways.

 

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Cayce - Was your Vancouver to Phoenix flight on a small commuter plane? What were your flights and planes like for the rest of your trip?

Hi Tamara,

 

I just found my information. We were on Alaska flights 715 and 187 from Phoenix to Seattle and Seattle to Anchorage. We left 10:31 AM and arrived 5:05 PM with just over an hour layover in Seattle. Our return flights were 570 and 718 from Vancouver to Seattle and Seattle to Phoenix. We left 1:15 PM and arrived 5:49 PM with about a 45 minute layover in Seattle. All flights were on commercial planes (737's or MD-80's I believe). That was the first time we had flown Alaska Air and we were happy with them. They had nice snacks and we only had a slight delay out of Seattle on the way home. No problem with luggage, etc. Overall, we were very pleased.

 

Let me know if I can answer any other questions!

 

I noticed your location was Phoenix after I submitted my reply the other day. I'm in Glendale.

Thanks for your input Cayce. I'm going to check Alaska Air's schedule and see if there is a time that they fly the bigger jets into Vancouver from Seattle. The times I have checked they just flew the small commuter planes. Maybe I can find a time that will work. My hubby won't fly on the small planes.
