    And about 300 in August and 250 in July :(

    Passangers seem to be $74 regardless though.

    Right now they are running a passanger goes free with vehicle special. So you dont have to pay for you AND your truck. I think that ends in may and applies to all trips through september. Sooo we should pick dates and book before the end of may.

    Ew, commitment. Scary. :rolleyes:

    Ya it would be cheapest to just not get a room. A lot of people just sleep in the lounge areas. Def cheaper if you don't get a room or a bunch of you could split one.....

    I didnt get a room when I took the ferry from Haines to Bwllingham... I ended up making friends and having a room but for 9 hours I say forget it. They are tiny anyway.

    Does that ferry have a bar? Is the ride long enough?

    I am assuming that is on your truck?

    If so, then no. you are not allowed to get to your vehicle unless the ferry is docked. (not sure why :()

    If you have a normal tent, you can set it up on the deck :) Secure it with duct tape.

    Ya the only time you are allowed to go do to the car level is to let your animals out to walk and if you had to grab some stuff. But, you only get like 30 min to do so. But the lounge areas have plenty of couches

    Latest updates on this.... Have been looking at the ferry website some more.

    My truck is approximately 18' long, under 6.5 feet tall (I think). I went through the whole booking process (until the part where I give the money) and at the very end they take off the driver amount ($74 each way). My total amount was about $350 :D So if any of you are looking at the prices, take $74 off of the price that you see. The driver goes free special is good may 1 to sep 30. We will be going sometime in that range :D

    I am pretty confident in this price being in the ball park.
