Creator's Key Takeaways

So, we're boarding. We're in Seattle. Just flew this morning and we're boarding Anthem on PCs for a seven night Alaska.

So, I'm reminded as to why this is my favorite wind jammer that we've ever been to cuz this place rules.

I think this is my favorite itinerary. It's got to be up there for me.

It's really pretty fun. It's 4:58, so two more minutes until dinner.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Shop in ports instead of the ship store on the last sailing of the season to avoid crowds and sold-out items.
Check your loyalty status matching before sailing to ensure accounts are linked correctly.
