Creator's Key Takeaways

Tonight's episode is sponsored by cruiseeline.com where you can find reviews, tips, and photos from real everyday cruisers.

If you can afford the balcony, I do recommend that you do it the first time, especially.

I'd rather see you go to Alaska in an inside cabin than not go at all.

We saw a lot of wildlife at the end of August and early September. It was really great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a balcony cabin for Alaska if you can afford it, especially for the first time.
Consider late May for cruising to Alaska to avoid crowds and get lower prices.
Book whale watching excursions for guaranteed wildlife sightings.
Use compression bags and wear heavy clothing on the plane for carry-on only travel.
Check the ship's shore excursion desk for accessibility information in Alaska.

Seeing northern lights on an Alaska cruiseNot very often; consider a Northern Lights Cruise elsewhere for a better guarantee.
