Creator's Key Takeaways

We are back on the beautiful Star Princess again and absolutely delighted to be here.

I love to go to Alaska. It's my very favorite place to sail in the United States.

I always say to double check the pricing on the other cabins as a solo as well because every once in a while it turns out one of the others is better.

It was absolutely wonderful getting on board the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't fly in on the day of your cruise; come at least a day early.
Double-check what your travel insurance covers.
For solo cruisers, check pricing on different cabin types, not just solo studios.
