Creator's Key Takeaways

we had an absolutely amazing time and would love to do another of these one dear we can't recommend it enough

the food and service was amazing as usual on Disney ships

this was essentially another day at sea but the scenery all day is amazing and it has such a special atmosphere on board

we were really lucky spotting Dolphins playing in the wake of the ship humpback wheels and a few orcas too

Creator's Tips & Advice

Join the cruise Facebook group and WhatsApp groups for whale and Northern Lights spotting
Book excursions in advance as they add up in cost for a family of four
Bring layers for weather as it can be changeable and windy on deck
Get to the sailaway party early for a decent spot as it gets crowded
Use a zoom lens or binoculars for better wildlife viewing

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not having a veranda for scenery viewsSpend more time on outer decks; you don't miss out much as whales or lights may not be on your side
Weather unpredictabilityBring layers, waterproof gear, and thermals; weather is changeable and windy on deck
Cost of excursionsBudget for excursions as they add up; there are options for everyone, so plan and book in advance

YouTube Video Description

Hello Everyone! We are Paradise Falls Family - we're a family of four who love to explore the world together. We are hoping by sharing some of our top tips for each destination we will inspire you (and save you some research!) We had a wonderful trip to Canada and Alaska in August 2024 and have done a series of videos we hope will help with your planning! This video shows our time on our Alaska Cruise on the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship. We did a 7-Night Alaskan Cruise from Vancouver and stopped at Dawes Glacier, Icy Strait Point, Juneau and Ketchikan. This vlog is a family guide to the cruise given a run down of the itinerary, the ship itself and all of the wonderful activities offered.
