Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our very first Alaskan cruise, guys, if you can believe it. It's 7 days on the Carnival Luminosa.

This is breathtaking. I hope the camera is doing it justice.

We had a ball and we'll definitely be back.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the shuttle to Mendenhall Glacier for $65 round trip to avoid walking from the mile-and-a-half drop-off point.

✓Wear appropriate footwear for the Nugget Falls Trail, as slick-bottom shoes may be challenging.

✓Try the duck fart shot and the Yakobi smoked chowder at the Red Dog Saloon.

Weather and cold temperatures — It was about 55°F and sprinkling; wearing a quarter zip, beanie, and rain jacket was comfortable.
