Creator's Key Takeaways

this is my second cruise on this ship this will be a seven-day southbound voyage of the glaciers

I'm here by myself I got an insane price for this cruise on a drop and go sail

I literally came through security in two minutes I got off the bus gave the tip to the port person and then walked in it was completely vacant

I am NOT going to leave this cruise feeling that I missed out on anything

YouTube Video Description

Embarkation day on the Coral Princess in Whittier, Alaska. I share my experience getting to the ship and what I would do differently next time. The Coral changed from only offering per-minute internet pricing when I was last onboard, now they have a three-tiered unlimited access plan. I am really happy to see Princess modernizing in this area! (I probably single-handedly funded the system upgrade by paying per-minute on my Panama Canal cruise) Next time will be scenic cruising the Hubbard Glacier 🎉🛳 I apologize for the poor lighting and crazy close-up video in certain parts of this vlog, I was using an older camera and didn't know the settings were off. 🤦🏻‍♀️
