Creator's Key Takeaways

It was absolutely me and my wife's favorite cruise. Loved it hands down.

The highlight would obviously be the the uh wildlife, but just the beauty of Alaska really tops it all, too.

Great ship. Uh absolutely love Quantum Class. We'll do another one uh once I find a sailing that's uh uh to my liking.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use public transportation in Seattle to save money and see the city.
βœ“Don't pack blankets for your balcony; ask your room attendant for throw blankets.
βœ“If you have mobility issues, consider renting a Turo for independent port exploration.

Seasickness β€” Use prescription scopolamine patches; they worked well even in rough seas.
Mobility issues on excursions β€” Rent a Turo for independent travel and take your time; Alaska cruises are enjoyable even with limited mobility.
