Hi Neighbor

I am too planning a cruise on Princess this coming June and also from
Casper. As to the website you have mentioned I think you mean
buycruises.com. As for them they do not offer airfare out of Casper,
but rather the rate they are quoting you is from Denver. Not sure why
their website says it is from Casper, but that is not the case.

I think we have decided on flying out of Billings with Alaska and
their commuter line Horizon. The lowest prices quoted on their site
for days we will be traveling is about a $100 per person (that is a
$300 saving for us) than through Princess from Denver. I also think
that Billings is a much easier airport to travel out of then Denver.
Also out of Denver I think Alaska and horizon offer a similar fare to
Billings.

As for buycruises.com I think they were slightly less than what an
agent at Travel Management quoted me. On a similar note a friend
recommended cruise.com and it looks like they offer us a better price
than the travel agent if we on the Coral Princess, rather than Dawn
Princess. Also they have a better price than buycruises.com and are
even offering us what looks like a better room (larger).

As for the person who says Vancouver is only a day from Casper, I
think they are wrong. I would say it is more like 2 days or so from
Casper. I would not conseder the option of driving there, but that is
just me.

Hope this helps

Hi all

I live in Casper, WY and my family is planning a cruise to Alaska this
coming June. Just wondering if we should buy the airfare through
Princess Cruises. A friend came across a website called buying cruises
dot com or something like that and they offer airfare through the
cruise company from Casper that is just as cheap as what our local
travel agent can get us out of Denver. Should we buy the airfare
through Princess or can we do better on our own?
