Creator's Key Takeaways

Do we choose a cruise line that arguably best for Alaska, or the cruise line that might provide the better overall on board experience.

Princess offers incredible Alaskan experience. Expertise? Yeah. And Celebrity offers an upscale onboard experience.

The ship feels more modern. The atmosphere feels more upscale. The dining is usually excellent.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider that the best ship for the Caribbean might not be the best ship for Alaska because the destination becomes the main attraction.
