Charles... That is not what I said. I was commenting on this
particular passage from the newsletter:
QUOTE>>>The picture changes for long-haul flights. Cruise line air is
usually competitive with--or cheaper than--what you can find on your own, no
matter when you book, for cruises in Europe and exotic destinations such as
Tahiti, Asia or Australia. Cruise line air is also frequently cheaper for
one-way Gulf of Alaska sailings between Vancouver and Seward or Whittier.
(Note that you can generally beat the cruise line's air price by going
direct to the airlines if you are sailing to Alaska round trip from
Vancouver, Seattle or San Francisco and need air into one of these cities.)
>>>>UNQUOTE
I believe the OP commented on a Soouthern Pacific destination.
I don't endorse their newsletter, but I offered it to the OP as
something to consider. Personally, I have used VTG for
cruises, and have had excellent luck with prices, but then I'm
free to travel when the pricing is best and hard to beat. I also
always fly in on my own a few days early to unwind and enjoy
the port city. We'll be doing that in San Diego next October,
in three days early, and an overnight before leaving back to
New England.
