Creator's Key Takeaways

The weather sucked. It was the worst weather we had all trip, but it was awesome.

We are on a brand new cruise line for us. We're on Holland America for the first time on Coning Dam.

We ended up seeing several whales. Humpbacks for sure. Possibly a grey whale.

It was one of the coolest experiences ever. We saw orca whales.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print off your boarding pass if you're coming on.
Dress in layers for Alaska.
Get the halibut tacos.
