Creator's Key Takeaways

I tried to research a bunch of things before my cruise & couldn't find the info anywhere, sometimes even when I called Holland America directly!

Glacier on the other hand that I was just speechless amazing it's fascinating to see the massive ice floe and how its pushed pushed pushed down the mountain and then to the water's edge

I would I would highly recommend that now we cruised outside we didn't do the inside passage so we went up the outside of Vancouver Island from Seattle

the quality of what they were offering was a little bit higher level than than what you would normally expect to see on a cruise ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get a balcony or veranda cabin for Alaska cruising to enjoy the views from your room.
โœ“Pre-purchase the drink package for better value and to avoid surprises at the end of the cruise.
โœ“Bring binoculars for wildlife and glacier viewing, even if your cabin provides them.
โœ“Check the daily schedule for activities and plan your day accordingly.
โœ“Book a balcony cabin for an extra $70 to enjoy the scenery from your room.
