Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the huge differences with Alaska cruises versus cruising to the Caribbean or the Bahamas is you're going to see land a lot.

The answer is layers. When we left Seattle, it was the high 50s, low 60s, rainy, overcast, um kind of windy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a balcony cabin to better view the scenery.
βœ“Pack layers to accommodate varying temperatures.
βœ“Budget extra money for expensive excursions.
βœ“Choose Dungeness crab over King crab if you want fresh seafood in Alaska.
βœ“Be cautious when walking around Seattle due to the large homeless population.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Weather and clothing β€” Pack layers because temperatures fluctuate significantly.
Budgeting β€” Expect to spend more on excursions and realize it is not a budget cruise.
Scenery vs. Tropical expectations β€” Be prepared for land-heavy views rather than just blue water and beaches.
