Creator's Key Takeaways

It was my best Alaska sailing that I've done. It was absolutely my best Alaska.

If you get a chance to do one of those longer 9 or 10 day Alaskan itineraries, do not pass it up.

We have made mostly from a cost perspective that too. The Bermuda sailings are expensive and New York is expensive.

We are super excited and Blake already mentioned it. We do have our first ever group cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Travel at least one day in advance for cruises
βœ“Consider a hop-on hop-off bus in Victoria for Alaska itineraries
βœ“Try the salmon donut at Jellyfish Donuts in Ketchikan
