Hello,
Will be leaving for Anchorage next week, sailing Island Princess to Vancouver.
Was there 10 years ago and had to pay to leave the country.

Are they still doing that? Do they take American dollars?

Also, didn't purchase transfer to airport but will take a cab. Anyone know the approximate cost and again, do they take American?

Thanks to any who can answer.

If you are referring to the Airport Improvement fee - yes it is still collected but i beleive that it is now included in the price of your ticket rather than paid separately.

It's about $30.00 for a cab to the airport and yes they will take US dollars but don't expect a great exchange rate - pay them by credit card for a better rate.

Have you thought about the airporter bus - $12.00 per person to the airport and some will meet the cruise ships otherwise catch it at the Pac Pacific - here's a link

Hope this helps - I don't fly so i don't have all the answers but this info comes from these cruise boards.

Enjoy your cruise and Vancouver
