Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm so excited for this trip and I was thinking, I bet you're wondering a lot of the same questions I was asking as I've been planning my trip.
It's significantly less than I thought it might be. I thought just the Alaska sailings were going to cost way more than well, where I'm at right now, which is the Caribbean.
I do have to put in one thing that I want to be honest about, which is it is not inexpensive to do all the shore things.
I'm beyond excited, which is why I'm going to be on the Seattle Mermaiden to celebrate Virgin Voyages kicking off its Alaska sailings and I will be on those first two sailings.
