Creator's Key Takeaways
I've taken a solo cruise on the Ruby Princess ship before to the Western Caribbean but this time I was flying into San Francisco to take Ruby Princess North to Alaska
the sailway was spectacular while it is more typical for Alaska cruises to leave out of Seattle Vancouver or even a start in Anchorage might I suggest doing what I did and leave from San Francisco
if you don't have a balcony or Ocean View get one something I hadn't considered on an Alaska cruise was just how much there would be to look at all the time
the port stops are mostly walkable since I had never been to Alaska by ship before it never occurred to me that the port stops we would be making would almostly be right off the downtown areas of these cities
