we just came back from an alaskan cruise on serenaded seas and we want to show you what we did in port

well despite seeing zero orcas this excursion could not be any more perfect it was just absolutely beautiful

if you're planning on doing an alaskan cruise and you're trying to decide do i take an inside stateroom or do i go for the balcony you gotta go for the balcony

we decided to go whale watching and i'm glad we did there's at least three here and they're very active

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We went on an Alaskan inside passage cruise and visited the ports of Ketchikan, Juneau, Haines, and Sitka. We did a combination of Royal Caribbean sponsored shore excursions and excursions that we found in our own internet research. We hope this is helpful for those of you considering an Alaskan cruise. FYI, we cruised with Royal Caribbean out of Vancouver, BC.
