Creator's Key Takeaways

I would start early book it because they they sell out and also the excursions are somewhat limited

if you can afford it get a balcony because you're not gonna trust me people you're not gonna want want to miss anything in Alaska as far as views

you're going to need a winter coat and a lighter jacket the biggest thing to do when you're in Alaska you're going to want to dress in layers

the one thing I wouldn't miss would be the naturalist they're experts on that so I would get up and go listen to them give their speech

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book Alaska cruises and excursions early as they sell out
Get a balcony room if possible for the best views
Pack layers including a winter coat and lighter jacket
Bring swimming trunks and sunscreen even for Alaska
