Creator's Key Takeaways

We have fully updated our Alaska and our Caribbean packing lists and they are in the course.

My personal favorite time to go, Sandra, is late May before the ships get crowded and when the prices are still low.

If you can afford the balcony, I do recommend that you do it the first time, especially.

I'd rather see you go to Alaska in an inside cabin than not go at all.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book whale watching excursions for guaranteed whale sightings.
Consider a balcony cabin for Alaska, especially for first-timers.
Use compression bags and wear heavy clothing on the plane for carry-on travel.
Check the ship's shore excursion desk for accessibility information.
