Creator's Key Takeaways

We were actually upgraded. We bid $320 a person and we received it actually instantly.

This trip is proving itself to be pretty underrated.

It's a once in a-lifetime experience and a massive flex to everybody we know because we just got married in Alaska.

We are with two individuals who have never been to Alaska at all. So this is going to be fun for them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're not into tight spaces, maybe don't drive through the tunnel; have somebody else drive or close your eyes.
Consider bidding for an upgrade on Norwegian for a better balcony experience.

YouTube Video Description

Our Honeymoon Begins! | Whittier, Alaska Embarkation Day 🚢❄️ Our Alaska honeymoon adventure officially begins in one of the most unique ports in the world — Whittier, Alaska! After driving through a one-lane tunnel carved through a mountain (yes, the one that’s shared with a train!), we finally made it to the tiny town where big adventures begin. Join us as we soak in glacier views, explore Whittier’s quirky charm, and board the ship that will take us through the breathtaking Alaskan wilderness. This day was full of nerves, excitement, and that “we’re really doing this” newlywed energy. 📸 Follow along for behind-the-scenes moments and more: 🎥 TikTok: Chaoscruisers 📷 Instagram: Chaos_cruisers_
