I tried the CHEAPEST Alaska Cruise I could find: Here's What Happened: Carnival Cruise

Editorial Summary

The creator documents a seven day budget cruise to Alaska aboard the Carnival Spirit, departing from Seattle. The journey begins with a review of a unique interior cabin featuring a floor to ceiling window that provides a view of a lifeboat rather than the scenery. The creator emphasizes that while the ship is older, it offers classic Carnival amenities. The narrative focuses heavily on various excursions, categorizing them by cost and value. High cost but high reward experiences include a glacier explorer boat tour in Tracy Arm Fiord and the White Pass Yukon Railway in Skagway. To balance the budget, the creator highlights affordable options in Juneau, such as taking a city bus to Mendenhall Glacier and riding the Gold Belt Tram. In Ketchikan, the creator suggests exploring on foot or attending the Lumberjack Show, while Victoria, British Columbia, is presented as a destination for free self guided walking tours. The creator concludes that it is possible to experience authentic Alaska on a budget by mixing expensive, must do excursions with low cost local transportation and activities.
