Creator's Key Takeaways

For me as well, I've probably been up here 20 times thanks to Princess and some other companies which I will not name.

I'm not sponsored by anybody in any of my lectures. So, whatever I tell you, I'm just shooting you straight.

If you have a balcony room, that's fantastic. If I had a balcony room, I'd never leave there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bundle up on decks and bring a beanie to prevent heat loss.
βœ“Bring waterproof boots or shoes for exploring streams or snow.
βœ“Use binoculars to spot mountain goats and whales from a distance.
βœ“When taking the White Pass railway, the best vantage point is at the front of the car between the two cars.
βœ“If booking shore excursions, use the official Shore Excursions desk so the ship will hold for you if you are delayed.
