Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken several cruises to Alaska we live in Seattle which is an easy trip to Alaska and sometimes they have really good last-minute deals to go up there so we've been up there at least more than six or seven times out

an Alaska cruise is really about the ports and being outdoors it's not about the ship

do a lot of research on booking an Alaska cruise start with the destinations start with the itineraries look at the shore excursions and look at the land packages

make sure that the cruise is what you want and not what the cruise ship wants you to have

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Research destinations, itineraries, shore excursions, and land packages before booking
βœ“Consider cabin type (interior vs. exterior with balcony) based on needs
βœ“Call your travel agent with your itinerary preferences to find the right cruise
