Creator's Key Takeaways

We are 20 days away from taking our very first Alaskan cruise and this cruise was planned a year ago.

The mistake that we've made is not adding travel insurance to our cruise.

I did start that within the last few months, realized that there are options for insurance. Um third-party insurance that will cover any of your travels for an entire year.

I'm looking so forward to it. But as we get closer, the nerves are kind of slightly kicking in.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Add travel insurance when booking, as it may not be possible to add later once the cruise is fully paid off.
Plan to arrive at the departure port at least two days early to build in a buffer for potential delays.
Research third-party insurance options that can cover travel expenses for an entire year.
