Creator's Key Takeaways

I have currently taken two Alaskan cruises one last year on Royal Caribbean salvation of the Seas and just a couple days ago I disembarked Carnival's newest Italian Hybrid cost of formerly Costa ship the luminosa

An Alaskan cruise is honestly magical and life-changing if done right

Do not pick the wrong Cruise Line contrary to popular belief I do believe the cruise line the ship that you were sailing with are very very important

Do not wait or hesitate to book your short excursions for your Alaskan cruise these excursions especially if you're booking on a ship sell out very quickly

Do not over-pack; bring only what you need for the climate
Book a balcony cabin if within your budget for better views
