About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We booked a six-person whale watching tour in Juneau, Alaska… and ended up being the only two people on the boat. 🐋 This honestly started feeling more like a private Alaska tour than an excursion. Between the orcas, humpback whales, sea lions, waterfalls, snow-covered mountains, and nonstop scenery… this ended up being one of the most unreal days of the trip. If you’re cruising to Juneau and wondering if a small whale watching tour is worth it… this was our experience. Come along and decide if you’d do it too. 🎥 Excursion:Jayleen’s Alaska 🛳️ Ship: Anthem of the Seas 📍 Port: Juneau, Alaska 🎒 PRODUCTS WE BROUGHT ON THIS TRIP: 🔥 Thermal Leggings: https://amzn.to/4nU6gsQ 🔥 Thermal Top: https://amzn.to/4fnGxa3 🔥 Rechargeable Hand Warmers: https://amzn.to/3Pla3N9 🔥 Heated Jacket (Josey’s): https://amzn.to/4vbmGj0 🔥 Heated Jacket (Alan’s): https://amzn.to/4wFNIjY 💧 Rain Poncho: https://amzn.to/4drXtdY 🎒 Foldable Backpack: https://amzn.to/4wXqq9x 🧳 Packing Cubes: https://amzn.to/4nGZrdR 🏷️ Cruise Luggage Tags: https://amzn.to/42LqwD7 🔋 MagSafe Battery: https://amzn.to/4wFnVIw 🛍️ barely packed merch: https://barely-packed.myshopify.com (Some links are affiliate links which means we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
