Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got off the ship for my 7-day Alaskan cruise from Seattle.

I definitely have some ports that I enjoy over others in Alaska, but what's most important is just getting to see Alaska at all.

The key is to use Seattle's public transportation to get to the ship if you can.

If you're wanting to remember the wildlife when you visit Alaska, you just have to take a legit camera with a good lens.

Use Seattle's public transportation to save money on getting to the ship.
Take a legit camera with a good lens to capture wildlife.
Book a ship with indoor amenities for Alaskan weather.
