Weekly Roundup - Oct 31

$1499 -- 10-Day Alaska Cruise & Tour, Regularly $2000+
Again on the premium Celebrity line, here's a discount on the cruisetour trip that takes a 7-day cruise and adds a 3 or 5 day land package that goes into the Alaskan tundra in Denali National Park. This price includes a $200 credit per cabin, which will cover all gratuities and a bit more, like a bottle of wine. The cheapest price appears to be June 3 and Sept 9, and other dates are available at slightly higher prices. Sept 9th is when we went and I can definitely recommend that time of year.

Spend a weekend in a fun city and build up your duty-free allowance for some shopping!

25% Off Caribbean Fares on American

Posted on the Airfarewatchdog blog

American Airlines is having a great 25% off insider sale to the Caribbean including St. Maarten, St. Lucia, St. Croix, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts. Use discount code DFSTSDEAL on AA.com only. The discount does not apply for travel November 24-26, December 19-24, December 26-27, December 29-January 6, and Saturdays. You must book by October 29 and travel from November 22 to February 13. If we were venal moneygrubbers, we would not tell you about this deal, because American doesn't pay us a cent for sending them business. But of course, we're not venal moneygrubbers.
