Creator's Key Takeaways

We just got back from our very first Alaska cruise.

I underestimated how quickly the weather changes there.

The number one item I recommend to pack for your Alaska cruise is a solid pair of binoculars.

Rain is part of the Alaska experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack a packable winter jacket with a hood.
Bring waterproof hiking boots, not sneakers or flip-flops.
Use a truly waterproof rain jacket with sealed seams.
Carry a solid pair of binoculars and a second pair for your companion.
Pack a cruise-approved outlet extender for cabin power.
