Creator's Key Takeaways

This was my first Alaskan cruise, my first time on the Celebrity Edge, and these are the things that I wish I knew before sailing

I think we needed more weatherproofing than we did warm clothing

The views, the scenic experiences in an Alaskan cruise are what it's all about

Alaska is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful cruise adventure

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack waterproof, weatherproof clothing instead of heavy warm attire
Bring binoculars for scenic viewing and wildlife spotting
Attend naturalist and historian talks on board
Consider balcony or infinite veranda rooms for Alaska itineraries
Have backup plans for excursions due to weather
