Creator's Key Takeaways

This was the best trip I've ever taken. I mean, it really it in some ways, I think, changed my perspective on what a cruise can be.

I literally do not have words to describe Glacier Bay. Now, part of that is because I slept through part of it.

The spa was so the people in the spa, especially the the woman who was running it, was so rude that at one point I got a call from Kimberly who was in near tears needing me to come down and straighten something out.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a balcony for Alaska if you can afford it.
Do the inside passage route.
