Creator's Key Takeaways

we were on board Ovation of the Seas from January 30 not January we're on it for six months June 30th through July 7th

we absolutely loved it it was a perfect ship it was so fun

light layers is definitely one of the first things that we were happy we stem off of

all of the stuff we didn't use ended up getting packed in one of my smaller suitcases and so we wouldn't have even needed that smaller suitcase

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring light layers rather than heavy jackets to save space
Bring a sleep mask to combat the midnight sun during Alaskan summers
Bring bug bite cream and bug spray for nature excursions

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Alaskan weather being too coldWeather is milder than expected (50s-60s), and you'll spend much time indoors on the ship
Not bringing appropriate clothing for cruise ship environmentRemember you're still on a cruise ship with indoor venues, so bring shorts and flip-flops
Needing heavy winter gearLight layers are more practical than bulky jackets for most situations
