Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend it it's your first cruise to Alaska to be sure to include Glacier Bay National Park because it's a great value

the Park Rangers come on board if you have kids with you they can be part of the mini park ranger program

I highly recommend getting a balcony I highly recommend if you can't afford a balcony you travel with someone who can't afford a balcony

the really neat thing about hubber glacier is it's what they call an active glacier this is means it is calving

Creator's Tips & Advice

Include Glacier Bay National Park on your first Alaska cruise for great value
Get a balcony cabin for better glacier viewing, or share with friends on opposite sides of the ship
