Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Oakland Travel.

  1. Always clarify if tour instructions are in local time or ship time to avoid being late.

  2. Check your excursion ticket for the specific meeting location and zone number.

  3. Stay on ship time when returning from shore excursions.

  4. If doing a northbound Alaska cruise, consider starting in Vancouver to see the city before the cruise begins.

  5. Ensure you have your passport ready when departing for excursions that cross into Canada.

  6. Ocean view balcony staterooms are worth the extra money compared to interior rooms.

  7. Bring USB chargers and manage power needs as older ships may have limited outlets.

  8. Avoid bringing extension cords as they will be flagged by security during X-ray.
