Creator's Key Takeaways

I just came back from a backto-back sailing on Virgin Voyages Alaska. I spent 14 nights on the ship

I wanted to wait to make this video for you until after I experienced and learned the hard way a bunch of things on the ship

I didn't want to do that. I wanted to keep it real.

This is the sailing you will definitely not want to be in an insider room. It's just too pretty.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring waterproof boots and non-slip shoes for Alaska excursions.
Pack layers including base layers, fleece-lined pants, and a down jacket.
Bring a poncho, umbrella, and waterproof bag for rain protection.
Use a sea terrace room for better views and bring an eye mask for sleep.
Bring a reusable water bottle and consider a hot cup for warm drinks.

YouTube Video Description

Packing for a Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise is NOT like packing for any other sailing, and I learned a few things the hard way after spending 14 nights back to back on the ship. In this video, I'm walking you through everything you actually need for Alaska, both ON and OFF the ship. We're covering the outside the ship essentials (think waterproof + layers), Alaska specific items that saved me (and a few I wish I'd brought), and the onboard items you'll want for Virgin Voyages Alaska specifically. Spoiler: this sailing runs cooler than any other Virgin Voyages cruise. I'm also covering the stuff most people don't think about, like the Pajama Party being INDOORS, why there's no Scarlet Night pool party in Alaska, why an insider cabin is a hard no, and the hot cup hack I wish I had figured out sooner. Plus, what you can actually buy on the ship if you forget something (gloves for $10, anyone?). 🏔️ Get my FREE Alaska packing list, port map, tips, and more!! https://christinelozada.com/alaska/ 📝Get on the EMAIL list! https://christinelozada.com/newsletter/ 🎥 See the Alaska PLAYLIST! https://youtu.be/v8Xvq234Alo ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! ***** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?
