Creator's Key Takeaways

I have taken 122 cruises to Alaska.

I'm a former cruise director and now I live on the ship half of the year with my husband.

I highly suggest talking to a travel agent.

I would never pick a cruise line that is docking in in Ward Cove.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Talk to a travel agent to find the right cruise line and cabin for your needs.
Choose a cruise line based on whether you want to sail out of Vancouver or Seattle.
Consider entertainment options, especially if you have children.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Choosing the right cruise lineTalk to a travel agent; they are paid by the cruise line, not you.
Port selection and time in portAvoid ships that dock at remote ports like Ward Cove; prefer downtown docks.
Mobility issuesCheck if the ship will be tendering; Alaska is generally flat and accessible if not tendering.
Entertainment for childrenChoose Carnival or Royal Caribbean for more entertainment; Celebrity or Holland America for quieter atmosphere.
