Creator's Key Takeaways

But here's the truth. By the time you're actually done, that number is only a small fraction of what you're actually going to spend.

So, again, when you add it up our $700 per person cruise that we thought was too good to be true, was in fact too good to be true.

But was it worth it? Absolutely.

So, Alaska is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget big for excursions as they are where the magic happens.
Consider the total cost including flights, excursions, and extras when evaluating cruise deals.
