Creator's Key Takeaways

it was definitely one of our bucket lists and oh yeah you know we've been talking about it for a lot you know and and planning it for a long time

getting on this ship was actually a really easy experience and not just because they were kissing our ass because we were in sweets uh or grand Suites

Ovation was an awesome ship they alternate that ship between uh Alaska and Australia so uh the salarium was enclosed so it was appropriate for the weather

I highly recommend if you're going to do the wh watching tour a private tour book it either privately which is kind of expensive or just outside through the tour group

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book third-party whale watching tours in Juneau directly through the provider to save money compared to booking through the cruise line.
If visiting Seattle before a cruise, consider arriving a few days early to explore the city.
