Creator's Key Takeaways

It's our first time to Alaska, so it's new for us. Cruising is not new for us, but this is the first time we're not going to a Caribbean island.

After you pack everything, we go back and take out half. Or at least definitely one or two outfits that you put in there because that might you need.

Protect your skin because people don't realize you're going to Alaska. There's sun in Alaska, too. It's summer time. Do you know how long the daylight is?

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack layers and sturdy shoes for wet/cold weather.
βœ“Bring sunscreen even for Alaska due to long daylight hours.
βœ“Use the Carnival website (not just the Hub app) at midnight to secure early boarding times.
βœ“Use Carnival gift cards to pay off final folios at an 8% discount.
βœ“Bring a picture of your passport in case the physical one is lost.
