Will my cell phone work on alaska cruise?

Question by Shaonee B: Will my cell phone work on alaska cruise?
I’m going on a cruise in 2 weeks on the Diamond Princess from Whittier, Alaska to Vancouver. I want to know if I will be able to text while on board without getting any extra fees or charges. My mom is really overprotective and this is the only way she’ll let me stay out late on the ship.
I have at&t as my cell phone provider.

Best answer:

Answer by ChrisP.Bacon
No you’re at sea…no cell phone towers out there until you get to a city but it might not be AT&T in canada…it might be roger’s wireless and thus you have to pay extra fees.

Q&A: When should I book tours in Alaska?

Question by Kat L: When should I book tours in Alaska?
I am visiting Alaska (Anchorage, Seward, and Talkeetna) mid to end of September. I would like to take the Prince William Sound cruise and Kenai Fjord half-day cruise. Should I book them online prior to going or should I book them once I get there? Would there be sales/specials if I was to book in person around the time of the cruise?

Thanks.

Answer by vincentv247
If you are 99% sure you’re going, I would book them now so that you are guaranteed a spot.

Alaska Ferry? Bellingham to Valdez maybe?

Question by love my soldier: Alaska Ferry? Bellingham to Valdez maybe?
I need to get to alaska from seattle or bellingham. need help whats the best way to get ferry info. i cant get anyone on the phone. im trying to get to fairbanks,ak.

Best answer:

Answer by astrobuf
This is not an easy trip. There is no direct route. Valdez by the way is a looong way from Fairbanks.

The Alaskan Marine highway no longer leaves from Seattle, you now must leave from Bellingham. Take the MV Malaspina to Juneau. From Junea, you’d then take the MV Kennicott to Whittier.

From Whittier you can catch the Alaskan Train which will take you to Fairbanks via Anchorage.

The fare is about 0 one way w/o a car or a cabin. Much more with a car. It’s a 5 day trek by ship. I think you’d be way ahead to fly.
