Creator's Key Takeaways

It was unbelievable uh this room. Uh we we had seen it before, but I don't think I fully understood the size and spaciousness of this room until we got into it.

The glacier boat that we went on, Pearl probably was able to book that. There were enough slots there. It was not exclusively concierge, but it was heavily concierge.

Nathan dubbed this the best day ever.

I got a new appreciation for what a glacier really was after getting within a quarter of a mile of one. It was unbelievable.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're considering a suite, Alaska might be a good time to splurge for the special experiences.
For the White Pass Railway, if you want to go outside on the platform, use a GoPro or attach your phone to your wrist.
If you have mobility concerns, check accessibility options for excursions in advance.
Consider shoulder season travel to save money on Alaska cruises.
