Creator's Key Takeaways

starlink has really made a big difference we have noticed in the ships that we have been on

Holland America and Princess are Alaska I would and I don't work for either one of them don't get a penny for saying that

if you are going to book a cruise to Alaska this is really important

we are going to do a group cruise to um Alaska next year

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check hotel availability about 12 months before sailing, as many hotels release rooms closer to the date.
Pay attention to your itinerary and how many sea days you have when booking an Alaska cruise.
Research excursions in advance, even without a cruise booked, to see what's offered.
Book flights before your cruise to understand costs, especially if flying into one airport and out of another.
Use the free Spot Saver service at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for TSA PreCheck appointments.
