Creator's Key Takeaways
they had fallen into a classic Alaska cruise line trap when I looked at the itinerary I noticed that while they were calling on three key ports Juno Skagway and Ketchikan they were in them for at most four hours each
I personally use and rely much more on the cruise line expertise and history but I told them if they still preferred not to and wanted to book import which they can really easily do
I want them to not get caught out booking things where the cruise line is not really adding very much value but to book those Alternatives in advance because they often will sell out on Port days
I pleaded that they don't get caught up in the kind of smoke and mirror promotions that the stores run so cleverly
