Creator's Key Takeaways

I have everything that we brought on our 7-Day Alaska cruise right behind me and I'm sharing it all with you today

Alaska cruises really are more casual than Caribbean and Mediterranean Cruises

I absolutely love their luggage since I tried it about a year ago I use it all the time and always recommend it

I probably brought one too many I brought a total of four sweatshirts and I think I really could have easily done with three

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a light puffer jacket with a hood for rain and cool mornings
βœ“Pack fleece sweatshirts for layering
βœ“Use packing cubes to organize and maximize space
βœ“Roll clothing instead of folding to save space and reduce wrinkles
βœ“Bring binoculars for glacier viewing and excursions
