Creator's Key Takeaways

we ended up booking princess for a couple reasons I mean cost was a huge reason we're six people

I don't regret that we did that because it was a great trip we had great excursions

I would say for a very Excursion heavy itinerary I would be willing to Branch out again

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book private excursions for large families to save money
Bring your own soda from Target to avoid expensive drink packages
Consider a veranda room for Alaska to maximize glacier viewing

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of excursions in AlaskaBudget for expensive excursions as they can cost as much as the cruise fare itself
Lack of lifeguards on Princess poolsSupervise children closely as most cruise lines, including Princess, do not have lifeguards
