Creator's Key Takeaways

I didn't do enough research to realize it's time in which is pretty much the same thing in Alaska and April and October as I your viewers and your travelers that not a good time to be in Alaska.

We were even on cruise high for the fact that the ship had a solid eight degree list for about six or seven hours.

I was getting no sleep at all. I was getting cranky.

I've now been in this cabin for 3 weeks. It's moldy. It stinks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research your cabin location thoroughly before booking a cruise.
Avoid using a debit card for onboard charges due to long authorization holds.
