Alaska is an not one of those places on that list um and we definitely discourage you from doing that

book book early is the advice here because you don't want to be walking down the road and have the short exion bus pass you

the weather is very unpredictable there you're going to need to bring a bunch of layers

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Arrive at the departure port at least one or two days early

✓Do not rent a car or do DIY excursions in Alaska
✓Book ship excursions early as they sell out
✓Bring layers of clothing and waterproof gear
✓Research weather for the time of year and pack accordingly

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Arriving too late to the port — Plan to stay the night before, ideally two nights, to account for travel issues and explore the city
Booking an inside cabin to save money — Upgrade to a balcony for amazing glacier views and private enjoyment
Doing DIY excursions or renting a car — Stick to ship excursions as Alaska's terrain and weather make DIY challenging and expensive
Excursions selling out — Book excursions early through the ship as soon as they become available
