As some of you know I am bringing some friends on Mush - some of "their" other friends who have been to Alaska (HAL etc) tell them "oh no you don't have to book early (specifically talking about float plane trips) you just book when you get off" -I know the advantages of booking float planes early and independently $$$ what % do you save?? BUT is it true you can book float planes right off the ship and not through Regent????? I have zero booked except whale watching - I feel like a lousy TA!!!! Joanna
