Creator's Key Takeaways

It is so huge. You could create your own buffet and sell tickets out there.

I honest to God could barely walk.

I wouldn't [do it again] for Alaska.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid forward-facing cabins in Alaska due to intense wind.
Consider forward-facing cabins for warm, stationary itineraries (e.g., Tahiti).
Close balcony blinds at night if located near the bridge.
Do not put luggage on the bed to avoid bed bugs.
