Creator's Key Takeaways

I love that they are still very much a traditional Cruise Line I love that they have not made that leap to those gigantic cruise ships

it's amazing how well the cruise lines do when there's an emergency on board they've got everything in place just to know how to notify people and how to solve the problem

getting a better cabin by bidding on an upgrade is an amazing way to do it usually you end up paying less than you would have paid booking that cabin

the only time that I have noticed mosquitoes in Alaska is when I book an Excursion that takes me out in the middle of trees

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bid on upgrades for Princess cruises to get a better cabin at a lower cost, but remember you cannot choose your specific cabin.
βœ“Bring mosquito repellent for Alaska excursions that involve walking through forests.
βœ“Consider upgrading Holland America's Wi-Fi package for smoother video calls and streaming.
