Creator's Key Takeaways

I took one of my absolute favorite cruises ever now I cruised on board Discovery princess out of Seattle through Alaska's Inside passage

we've done quite a few we've also done a celebrity silhouette we've done Alaska today is number three so we haven't fallen out yet

the digital mustard drill because that has saved us so much time today basically on a lot of cruise ship when you get on you have to go and sit through a mustard drill

the internet is not the fastest so to be honest some cruise lines that I've been on have got this new starlink I think you call it which is the highspeed internet at C and Costa haven't done that yet

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the cruise app and complete the digital muster drill before boarding to save time.
Pack essentials in hand luggage as luggage may not arrive until afternoon.
Unpack on the first day to avoid stress later.
Explore alternative dining options instead of the busy buffet on embarkation day.
Review internet and dining packages on day one to understand what's included.
