Creator's Key Takeaways
we spent way more money off the ship than on it
the inside passage allows you to see more ports, especially if you have that smaller ship, and tends to be less motion in the ocean
the starboard side was the best for glaciers and coastline views
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Pack in layers because Alaska weather changes quickly
✓Budget for port days as excursions can be expensive
✓Do the inside passage to see more ports and reduce seasickness
✓Pick the right side of the ship for better views
✓Reserve dining and show times early
