Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on four Dawes Glacier cruises and three Glacier Bay cruises

the first time back in August 2019 while we were on Ovation of the Seas it was too foggy to even enter undercut arm

the bonuside Glacier Bay is you typically see two three glaciers in my experience there

if I had to recommend an itinerary to anyone taking their first cruise to Alaska it would be to make sure Glacier Bay is on it
