7-Day Seattle to Alaska Cruise Not What We Expected! Star Princess

Creator's Key Takeaways
If you're going to save the money on an inside cabin because you want to do a lot more excursions, absolutely go for it.
The excursions in Alaska, I don't care what port you're going to, they're expensive. They're on the pricey side.
I think just pick your favorite and do that one. Don't skimp. Just pick one. At least one.
Sailing Alaska can be exhausting. So therefore, I would pick the cruise, the itinerary that you want more than the ship.

After seven days cruising Alaska from Seattle aboard Star Princess, the things that mattered most were not always what we expected. In this complete Alaska cruise recap, we break down the itinerary, ports, excursions, costs, ship experience, cabin decision, and the lessons that changed how we would plan another Alaska cruise. We begin with embarkation at Seattle’s Pier 91 before sharing what it was really like cruising Alaska aboard Star Princess. Our seven-day itinerary included Alaska sea days, exploring Ketchikan on foot, Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier by small boat, Juneau, Skagway and the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad to Bennett Lake, and an evening arrival in Victoria, British Columbia. Whether you are choosing your first Alaska cruise, comparing departure ports, deciding which excursions to book, or wondering how much the cabin really matters, this complete seven-day recap will help you identify what matters most for your own trip. This wraps up our seven-day Star Princess Alaska cruise, but our Seattle coverage is not finished. Coming next are videos covering Star Princess disembarkation, our Seattle hotel, exploring Seattle, and using Link light rail to reach the airport.
