Creator's Key Takeaways
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to North America, and it just might turn your Seattle and Vancouver cruise embarcation ports into total chaos.
Hotel prices in Vancouver are already through the roof. So, you can assume it's only going to get worse, probably way worse.
You can skip Seattle and Vancouver entirely. Look at San Francisco. Ruby Princess still sails out of there.
Maybe consider just going in 2027 instead. Move your Alaska cruise to 2027. Honestly, it's probably your smartest move.
