Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been to Alaska three times and each time, but we always go in the summer.

We do a lot of A Royal Caribbean and uh we're Diamond and we get four drinks a day free and we don't even drink that much because we do not we're not drinkers.

Make sure to book your excursions before you take your trip because excursions, they sell out so fast.

Hydration is key. You know, you don't know what the temperature is going to be on your excursion.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book shore excursions before your trip as they sell out fast.
Bring medications in original bottles and enough for the cruise duration.
Download the cruise line app and familiarize yourself with it before boarding.
Carry small bills for tipping situations during excursions.
Stop your mail and pay bills before leaving for a long cruise.
