YouTube Video Description

Join me and my family as we continue our Alaskan cruise aboard Discovery Princess. We spend the morning in the beautiful Dawes Glacier, and then, walk around the charming town of Juneau. It wasn’t the Juneau day I had planned, but that’s how unpredictable Alaska cruises are. You never quite know what you’ll get! The unexpected highlight of our day—an inspiring talk by Libby Riddles, the first woman to win the Iditarod. #discoveryprincess #princesscruiseship #cruisevlog #cruisetravel #juneau #alaskacruise #alaska #cruisetour Print my Alaska Cruise Packing List here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6483c643603fb25235d2e0dd/t/666e226303aea532cbcfe3b1/1718493796661/Alaska+Cruise+Packing+List.pdf Related Videos: https://youtu.be/-56q_upw7cs https://youtu.be/VqTcJYHP7Bs https://youtu.be/v6OmknrsCGs https://youtu.be/KO_N9aVd9aA https://youtu.be/mY-bGFNnvKQ https://youtu.be/oUfwzB6erSg https://youtu.be/_jKm7FNtHZo https://youtu.be/trJJaotugEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qBRtHcvrZQ&list=PLx1wYnv2V-MCHha2Y92U5-BDcIrxL8ZPA Alaska Cruise Essentials: (as an Amazon Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases) Princess Ocean Medallion watch adapter: https://amzn.to/42W8rSy Princess Medallion Sport Band Accessory: https://amzn.to/435F3uh Princess Cruises luggage tags: https://amzn.to/4cXfO0E MusicCozy bluetooth sleep headphones: https://amzn.to/4cShibC Jbu water-resistant boots: https://amzn.to/3GpHwXy White beanie with pompom: https://amzn.to/3RGqIhE Hot Feet insulated socks: https://amzn.to/4ezB7pq Kids' Insulated socks: https://amzn.to/3yTAOFJ Hurley rain poncho: https://amzn.to/4cyYs8G Spanx leggings: https://amzn.to/3EHVWls Waterproof backpack: https://amzn.to/3LB9xed Bonine Non-Drowsy Chewable for Motion Sickness: https://amzn.to/3ZgBPTf Band-Aid Blister Packs: https://amzn.to/3AUNYmF Apple Airtags: https://amzn.to/44qW2Xt Samsonite Evolve set: https://amzn.to/496cuhR Travel Duffel Weekender Bag: https://amzn.to/4goYB0L Memory Foam Airplane Foot Hammock: https://amzn.to/3YZVDbO Passport Holder RFID Blocking: https://amzn.to/4i9OsX6 Bagsmart Travel Makeup Bag: https://amzn.to/4fH93k0 Pop up hamper: https://amzn.to/3EzdXT3 Large Hanging Toiletry Bag: https://amzn.to/3Vbl1dH Roll-up Hanging Tech Bag: https://amzn.to/3VblkFn Magnetic heavy duty hooks: https://amzn.to/3zK2tcn Join my cruise newsletter and get my FREE Travel Savings packet with printable savings tracker and savings challenge at: https://thebargainchasingtourist.kit.com/6e9826c616 0:00 Intro 0:33 Glacier Day Morning 1:28 Glacier excursion 1:53 Breakfast in Ketchikan Dining Room 2:36 No Free OJ 3:08 Views from the deck 3:25 Breakfast review and kids’ club 4:04 Lido Deck in the Rain 4:27 Balcony views 5:08 Lunch at the World Fresh Marketplace 5:26 Last year in Juneau 5:36 Mount Roberts Tramway 6:07 Downtown Juneau 6:30 Thoughts on the Day 6:45 Dinner in Juneau Dining Room 8:03 Showtime in the Princess Theater 9:19 Libby Riddles, first female Iditarod winner 9:49 See you in Skagway!
