There are probably many good reasons to do it on your own, but we like the
convenience when they handle it. It's great to be met at a the airport in
a strange city and taken to the hotel or pier. We also had a bad experience
in Panama once when we had to leave the ship because of a medical emergency.
The cruise line, HAL, made all of the medical arrangements and travel
arrangements to get us home. It was a great comfort. Have a great cruise.

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?
