Creator's Key Takeaways

We are flying to Seattle on Friday, which is July 4th, to spend two days in the city. And then next Sunday, we are embarking on the Norwegian Encore for our 7day Alaskan cruise.

Alaskan weather is so unpredictable. It can be warm and sunny one day and then cold and rainy the next or even in the same day.

Zoe's one request for this trip was to see snow. And I thought she was crazy because it's July. There's not going to be snow, right? But in my research found out that if you go to the glacier there is snow.

โœ“Mix and match neutral-colored clothing to maximize outfits.

โœ“Pack layers for unpredictable Alaskan weather.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We are headed on an incredible adventure unlike any other we've experienced. We are flying to Seattle then boarding the Norwegian Encore for a 7 day cruise to Alaska. While planning our vacation, we struggled to figure out what to wear because the weather in Alaska is so unpredictable and you have to be prepared for everything. We also did not want to overpack, knowing we will be returning with souvenirs. We decided to make a short video of the clothing all three of us are packing for our Alaskan journey. We hope this helps someone else. Thanks for watching! 00:00 Intro 04:20 Leslie's Clothing List 09:18 Zaz's Clothing List 10:28 Zoe's Clothing List 11:29 Other Items & Closing
