Creator's Key Takeaways

Today we are heading to Fairbanks, Alaska to start our 11 night Princess Cruises cruise tour for Alaska.

The highlight was our extra paid excursion where we got to see the Northern Lights as aurora season had just started.

We are in room 1 2 3 4. Nice and easy to remember on level two.

We have a river view, which is very, very nice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in at the airport early if you have non-Canadian or non-American passports.
Wear wellies and layers for Alaska weather, even when sunny.
Text the lodge if you need anything, as they offer 24/7 guest services.
