Not having a veranda for scenery and wildlife viewing β€” Spend more time on the outer decks; you don't necessarily miss out as whales may not be on your side of the ship
Cost of excursions adding up for a family β€” Plan in advance and book excursions early; there is something for everyone
Predicting and seeing the Northern Lights β€” Use WhatsApp groups for real-time alerts; see if you get lucky on a clear night

YouTube Video Description↓

Hello Everyone! We are Paradise Falls Family - we're a family of four who love to explore the world together. We are hoping by sharing some of our top tips for each destination we will inspire you (and save you some research!) We had a wonderful trip to Canada and Alaska in August 2024 and have done a series of videos we hope will help with your planning! This video shows our time on our Alaska Cruise on the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship. We did a 7-Night Alaskan Cruise from Vancouver and stopped at Dawes Glacier, Icy Strait Point, Juneau and Ketchikan. This vlog is a family guide to the cruise given a run down of the itinerary, the ship itself and all of the wonderful activities offered.
