Creator's Key Takeaways

I think the $5,000 was fair for the experience that I received on the ship in the amenties that they have

Royal Caribbean buys every single ticket to every single tour available in any of these ports

this was maybe a 6 out of 10 experience

I think I would have just spent the money taking a flight up to Alaska rented a car and drove around myself

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Assume you will spend more than the base cruise fare due to onboard and excursion costs
✓Be prepared for limited outdoor activities in Alaska due to weather

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

High cost of excursions — Book excursions independently to avoid cruise line markups
