Creator's Key Takeaways

I love that the cruise lines care so much about their staff and the passengers

I am very confident of that extraordinarily confident of that if I thought it was a deal breaker I would tell you for sure

if you want to go further and see more of what I really do think is Alaska you're going to have to have an Excursion of some sort to do it

if you can book an Excursion and if you can't afford the princess ones pick up another one and just go see more of what Alaska is

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an excursion to see more of Alaska beyond the ship's scenery
Watch your time carefully when exploring ports independently
Check TripAdvisor or Viator for excursions with good reviews
Be prepared with appropriate clothing and gear for Alaska weather
