Creator's Key Takeaways

Glacier Bay was amazing.

I definitely recommend going up there even if you do have a balcony cabin just to get that experience.

It's quiet and there's just a certain stillness to the area because there aren't roads there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get an early start to your day to secure a good viewing spot on the upper decks
βœ“Pack all of your layers including cuddle duds, fleece, and a winter jacket
βœ“Time your breakfast carefully so you don't miss prime glacier spotting
βœ“Consider a balcony cabin for better wildlife viewing opportunities

Not having a balcony cabin β€” Go to the upper decks for an even better 360-degree view and bundle up
Missing the scenery while eating breakfast β€” Take advantage of breaks between glaciers to dash to the buffet or get coffee on the upper decks
Being cold while viewing glaciers β€” Wear multiple layers including thermal underwear, fleece, and a winter jacket
