Creator's Key Takeaways
The actual cruise is expensive. Alaska cruises are expensive. The actual cruise is expensive. The excursions are expensive. And the stuff on the uh shore side are expensive.
I want to know what my cost is before I get in the vehicle. And most of the time, it's it's metered. These taxis have their prices on their door.
Overall, Seattle disembarkation was not terrible, but it was one of those cruise ports where transportation planning matters.
