What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œEverything was spectacular. It was great space. We had a great view in two different rooms. The accommodations were spot on.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe sheer volume of the splash, the sound, and the immediate tidal wave of water rolling out towards us was pure adrenaline.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe sheer size of the glacier, the stillness in the air, the way the time just seems to pause. We just stood there in complete awe.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œthe hotel staff at the front desk were over the top I mean they were just fantastic”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œwe're coming back”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey
The Watch-outs

β€œan individual unfortunately went through a tragic situation and has passed away and we like to get our prayers out for the deceased and their family”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThis is probably the worst the loudest cabin we have ever been at.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe Wi-Fi on Princess Line cruise lines, in my opinion, based on tests that I do, I do speed tests on every cruise ship that we cruise on, and by far, Princess has the worst Wi-Fi.”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œThe minute we checked in, we got upstairs to our room. We got an email and the email says, "Oh, sorry. There's no cruise next week."”

πŸ₯ˆExpertHubbards Journey

β€œwe are on the beautiful Carnival Dream and it was delayed from embarkation we didn't leave port until almost midnight because of a tragedy”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Hubbards Journey.

  1. Use the elevators in the back to avoid jam-packed main elevators during embarkation.

  2. Take the Link light rail from downtown Seattle to SeaTac to save significant money compared to Uber.

  3. Be prepared for hills and heavy luggage if walking to the station.

  4. Allow more time for the train (45-60 minutes) compared to an Uber (30 minutes).

  5. Use the Symphony Light Rail from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to downtown for an affordable $3 connection.

  6. Consider the hotel for adjoining rooms if traveling with family members.

  7. Read the Bennett walking tour brochure before arriving to maximize your 30-45 minute exploration time.

  8. Book the train excursion through your ship's shore excursion department as the official website directs cruise passengers there.
