Creator's Key Takeaways
We're just back from two weeks on Discovery Princess to Alaska's Inside Passage, and I'll be sharing our Alaska cruise excursions and some new tips for Alaska cruising this year and beyond.
This was one that we booked with Princess Cruises. And the reason that we did the float plane in Juno with Princess is because I was very nervous to do a float plane.
You guys, if you do just one thing in Skagway, please, please, please do the White Pass Rail. It is a magical experience.
You guys, this cruise was absolutely amazing for our family. We made memories to last a lifetime.
