The highlight would obviously be the the uh wildlife, but just the beauty of Alaska really tops it all, too.

Great ship. Uh absolutely love Quantum Class. We'll do another one uh once I find a sailing that's uh uh to my liking.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use public transportation in Seattle to save money and see the city.
Don't pack blankets for your balcony; ask your room attendant for throw blankets.
If you have mobility issues, consider renting a Turo for independent port exploration.
