Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm going to show you the best spot to be on the ship to see amazing whale watching without paying for an excursion.
We just got up. We came in late last night, but uh we came in late or we were up late.
The views are pretty amazing. Definitely well worth it.
Our recommendation is that's probably one of the worst steakhouses we've been at on sea.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Buy gondola tickets on the cruise ship to avoid long lines.
✓Go to deck 17, Spice H2O, for whale watching without an excursion.
✓If you have walking issues, use the free shuttle bus at Icy Strait Point.
