Creator's Key Takeaways

Alaska is one of those most breathtaking experiences. And if you can experience it with somebody that you love, I definitely suggest you do that.

You want to be on top of those excursions because they do sell out quickly if you're going to get it through the cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions early as they sell out quickly.

✓Pack light and utilize onboard laundry to save suitcase space for souvenirs.

✓Arrive in the port city at least two days before embarkation to explore.

✓Bring binoculars for wildlife viewing.

✓Pack layers, including waterproof coats, hats, gloves, and windburn cream.

✓Use sunscreen even in Alaska due to UV reflection off the snow.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Packing for air travel vs. driving to port — Pack lighter, use laundry services, and leave room for souvenirs.

Seeing wildlife — Bring binoculars and consider that wildlife may be less abundant at the very end of the season.
