Creator's Key Takeaways

if we make it through this seven days in this little tiny room without killing each other we're destined for great things

whoever that cruise vlogger said that said oh don't worry about an inside room for Alaska you'll never be in your room anyway

we're not seeing that that step up in quality that we heard or that people talk about a lot

we went out on the rear Leo deck to uh do some Wildlife watching uh with our Wildlife expert but we did a major thing wrong

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring layers for Alaska weather, not just t-shirts and rain jackets
Interior cabins are very small; consider storage needs for gear
Arrive early for boarding as the process involves multiple holding areas

YouTube Video Description

Join us as we embark on our Alaska adventure aboard Holland America's Nieuw Amsterdam! Our first day started in Vancouver, where we navigated a chaotic boarding process filled with long lines and multiple seating areas. Once on board, we explored the ship and found our cozy, albeit small, interior cabin. We did have some regrets not booking a balcony, but we were excited to start our journey nonetheless. After settling in, we headed to the sailaway party, eager to kick off our cruise and watch out for any wildlife sightings. We ended our day with a delightful dinner in the ship's Dining Room, anticipating the incredible experiences awaiting us on this voyage.
