Creator's Key Takeaways

I will say that with Holland America, they focused a lot on education.

If you're going somewhere cold, you get the heated loungers.

I would say definitely look at the itineraries because there might be different things on, you know, well there's definitely different itineraries, but you know, you may want to see something on one cruise line that they don't offer on another.

Plan that you know it's going to be an expensive vacation, but if you're going to do it, do it the way that you want to do it because you may not be able to do it again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions early as they sell out quickly
Pack layers including base layers, waterproof shoes, and rain gear
Bring high magnification binoculars and a long camera lens if possible
Choose a round trip out of Seattle for the most affordable option
Consider booking a balcony or Aqua Class cabin for better glacier viewing
