Creator's Key Takeaways
the overall savings by comparison to Simply booking your cruise when it's at the lowest price which is when it first becomes available isn't that huge it's going to be a couple hundred doar savings
the whole stress of it all was a little bit frustrating um not really knowing where we were uh if we were going to go or not going to go
would I recommend the program probably not because it's not that great of a savings and honestly the amount of stress that you go through trying to decide am I going am I not going am I going am I not going is a little bit much
if it works for you and you understand you know all the the hooks and the the the roller coaster ride that you're going to go on go for it but uh I'm not sure it's for me

Curious to know if my big plan to get a discounted cruise to Alaska worked? Find out here! Holland America’s Standby Rate program has changed since we booked it a few months ago. It’s now US $99pp/day for an Inside or Oceanview cabin and US $129pp/day for a Balcony cabin (plus taxes). You still pay at the time of joining the Standby Program and won’t find out until between 2-7 days prior to departure. After that, you can remain on the standby list and will be told for certain at least 2 hours prior to departure & still try to get on OR you can just cancel the cruise and you will receive a full refund. It’s tricky & there’s a LOT of stress involved, and it’s a bit of a savings but not tons compared to the amount of stress you’ll endure. Would I do it again? Probably not, but if I did, I’d book it for the beginning or end of the season, to get a better chance of actually getting onboard. * * * * Thanks for watching & happy travels everyone! 🙌 Support my channel here : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/beachtravel 🛒 𝗠 𝗬 𝗙 𝗔 𝗩 𝗘 𝗧 𝗥 𝗔 𝗩 𝗘 𝗟 𝗚 𝗔 𝗗 𝗚 𝗘 𝗧 𝗦 𝗙 𝗥 𝗢 𝗠 𝗧 𝗛 𝗘 𝗟 𝗜 𝗩 𝗘 𝗕 𝗥 𝗢 𝗔 𝗗 𝗖 𝗔 𝗦 𝗧 🛒 𝖳𝗁𝖾𝗌𝖾 𝖺𝗋𝖾 𝗌𝗈𝗆𝖾 𝗈𝖿 𝗆𝗒 𝖿𝖺𝗏𝗈𝗎𝗋𝗂𝗍𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗇𝗀𝗌 𝗍𝗈 𝗍𝖺𝗄𝖾 𝗈𝗇 𝗏𝖺𝖼𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇! ► Travel Pillow https://amzn.to/3OvDqi0 ► Earbuds https://amzn.to/3waJDcQ ► Insta 360 X3 https://amzn.to/3HXnlO5 ► Insta 360 X3 with extra gadgets https://amzn.to/48341db ► Fast Charger Plug https://amzn.to/49sB5w2 ► Fast Charger Cables https://amzn.to/3UrTeWJ ► Portable Battery https://amzn.to/3UuBsSE ► Pool Float https://amzn.to/3UwWyj9 ► 𝖲𝗂𝗅𝗂𝖼𝗈𝗇𝖾 𝖡𝗋𝖺𝖼𝖾𝗅𝖾𝗍𝗌 𝖿𝗈𝗋 𝖠𝗂𝗋𝖳𝖺𝗀𝗌 𝗈𝗋 𝖯𝗋𝗂𝗇𝖼𝖾𝗌𝗌 𝖬𝖾𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗅𝗂𝗈𝗇𝗌 https://amzn.to/3TpOhu0 ► 𝖦𝖾𝗇𝖾𝗋𝖺𝗅 𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗄 𝗍𝗈 𝖠𝗆𝖺𝗓𝗈𝗇: https://amzn.to/3EJNoF0 🔔 𝗦 𝗨 𝗕 𝗦 𝗖 𝗥 𝗜 𝗕 𝗘 🔔 Don’t forget to Subscribe so you don’t miss the other videos on these spectacular resorts & add your questions and comments below!
