The Good

β€œBeing here made this pay-per-view so much better. I just can't recommend this enough. It was incredible experience and well worth the money.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œI genuinely love this ship and for this particular cruise, I can't think of a better ship on any cruise line.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œthis is my absolute favorite part of this whole ship it is the Hideway pool this is 18 and up this infinity pool is suspended mid air8 stories up”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œAll the food we had was absolutely delicious. I swear this made this wrestling event much more enjoyable than it should have been.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œThe longer you drive and the deeper you go into land is when you really appreciate the landscape and get to experience and see things that you never would if you were stuck inside of a train.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick
The Watch-outs

β€œGlacier ice isn't like snow. It behaves like broken glass. So now I'm freezing stranded and literally bleeding on the glacier.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œIf you love standing in massive long lines, often in the freezing cold rain while watching dozens of people cut in line in front of you, then you are absolutely going to love the Ward Cove show experience.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œIt quickly became clear that the crew was incredibly stressed, understaffed, and overworked, which meant we waited absolute eternity for our food.”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œwe picked this Royal Caribbean ship to celebrate my mom's birthday sadly the ship fell short for our special trip”

πŸ₯‰KnowledgeableRoad Warrior Rick

β€œThe shuttle lines, the remote docking locations, and that incredibly tight Ketchikan window, those are just things we don't want to deal with on our next trip.”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Road Warrior Rick.

  1. If you cannot get tickets inside the dome, it is better to stay home than to get general admission or hall tickets.

  2. Rent a car to see hidden spots the train can't reach and save money.

  3. Bring water-resistant shoes for exploring waterfalls.

  4. Bring toilet paper from your cruise cabin for emergencies in the wilderness.

  5. Activate a satellite phone plan if driving in areas without cell service.

  6. Bring a passport if driving across the Canadian border.

  7. Use Turo as an alternative if traditional rental cars are sold out.

  8. Book water taxis directly with tour operators to save money compared to cruise line prices.
