Creator's Key Takeaways

We're sailing the Coral Princess on our Alaska cruise where I finally stepped on a cruise ship for the very first time.

You cannot complain about having a balcony in Alaska.

It was the cutest thing to see him standing there with his tongue out trying to catch in his little bear Alaska bear hat trying to catch these things.

I would have sprung for the TR or for the excursion where you get on the boat and go sail up closer to the to that glacier because how incredible that would have been.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack binoculars for glacier viewing to see details up close.
Consider booking an excursion to get closer to Hubbard Glacier for an even more incredible experience.
