The Good

I might not have much to say, but this view is speechless.

If you ever thought about booking a non-Alaska cruise, I highly recommend you do it. Try it out just once. It's so serene here. It's captivating.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Embarkation Nation.

  1. Pick up a sweater or a hoodie if it is chilly in Alaska.

  2. Check out deck seven on the Norwegian Encore for great, empty viewing spots of Glacier Bay.

  3. When panning for gold, give the pan a nice little safety shake to ensure the gold stays in the bottom crease.

  4. Stay hydrated to avoid hangovers.

  5. Get to the cruise terminal early to avoid delays.

  6. Use TSA pre-check for faster airport security.

  7. Bring a bunch of chapstick for an Alaskan cruise.

  8. Stay at the Colony Hotel to get a 20% discount at the restaurant.
