Creator's Key Takeaways
It's the first time we've ever traveled to Alaska. It's actually the first time Michelle and I are going to actually hop on a plane to go to a cruise ship.
I've been to Alaska six times on four cruise lines.
That was the this that Glacier Express was my favorite excursion that I have ever taken ever. Period.
I would rather for me take my chances on my cruise ship to do what Uncle Brady did or go out and really every day on a sea day, you know, be out looking in your binoculars.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Pack light and use laundry on board, as you'll need extra room for souvenirs.
✓Arrive in Seattle at least two days before your cruise to explore the city.
✓Book excursions early, as they sell out quickly, especially for Tracy Arm Fjord.
✓Bring binoculars, layered clothing, waterproof shoes, hats, gloves, and sunscreen.
✓Consider the Glacier Express excursion in Tracy Arm Fjord for a close-up glacier experience.
