Creator's Key Takeaways

This is probably one of the greatest purchases we've ever made. This little tag along thing right here.

I have absolutely I didn't think I would love an Alaskan cruise as much as I have loved this.

I would 100% recommend the pork if you're thinking about it.

This is the best cruise I've ever been on. 100%.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a veranda room for Alaska to watch for whales from your balcony
Use a travel agent to handle dining time changes and logistics
Bring a hairbrush for windy character meet and greets
Dress in layers as weather can change instantly
Lotion up due to the dryness, even indoors
Wait until later in the evening to meet characters to avoid long lines
