Creator's Key Takeaways

I do not recommend doing this as we ended up being late for our time slot.

I'm on an 11-night cruise on Emerald Princess to Alaska from Vancouver. This is my first time to Alaska and also my first Princess cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pre-book a spot on the free shuttle online to avoid standby queues.
โœ“Take screenshots of emailed tickets because there is no signal at Fortress of the Bear.
โœ“Order a lift/Uber from the downtown area rather than the cruise terminal to avoid long waits.
โœ“Plan your return transportation from excursions in advance.

Getting to port attractions โ€” Use the free shuttle and pre-book online, then use local lifts from the town center.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Today weโ€™re exploring Sitka, which is the first port of our 11 night Alaska cruise aboard Emerald Princess. In this video Iโ€™ll show you what itโ€™s like visiting Sitka on a cruise, and also what NOT to do! We visit the fortress of the bear independently, and talk a walk around town. We make a few mistakes so make sure you donโ€™t make these too! For reservations for the shuttle into town from the cruise terminal, you can book a slot on this website for free! https://reservation.sitkadock.com/ If youโ€™re planning an Alaska cruise on Emerald Princess, or simply love cruise vlogs, I hope this video gives you a taste of whatโ€™s to come! Let me know in the comments if you have been to Alaska before, or cruised with Princess, or if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them! I'd really appreciate if you could give the video a thumbs up as it let's YouTube know to get my videos out there, and also hit the subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new videos!
