Creator's Key Takeaways

I decided to take my wife on a budget cruise to Alaska for our anniversary I'm not sure that was a great move

this cruise is 11 days but I am hopeful reason number one is that we will visit eight destinations and she loves exploring new places

princess helped to get things off to a good start with some free jewelry so I got me a little free necklace

we did decide to go ahead and get off the ship also anytime you go to Alaska you want to make sure that you have a good pair of either hiking boots or rain boots

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring layers for cold weather in Alaska
Pack rain gear including ponchos and umbrellas
Use trash bags inside backpacks to keep contents dry
Wear waterproof or water-resistant footwear for Alaska excursions
