Creator's Key Takeaways

When they say pack layers for Alaska, you have no idea what type of weather you're going to get.

Honestly, Ketchikan is not the most exciting port that you can visit in Alaska, but the majority of itineraries do visit Ketchikan.

I highly recommend booking an excursion for Ketchikan. There's not too too much to see in the city.

I don't think you need a balcony, but if it's a special occasion or if it's your first time going to Alaska and you really want to go all out, then by all means, definitely go ahead and get a balcony.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack layers for Alaska as weather is unpredictable.

✓Book excursions in Ketchikan as there is limited to do within walking distance.

✓Use the wash and fold laundry service for convenience if budget allows.

✓Take Dramamine or use Sea-Bands if prone to motion sickness, especially in the Inside Passage.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Weather unpredictability — Pack layers because you can experience heat, rain, or cold in a single day.

Cabin upgrades — An ocean view or even an obstructed view is sufficient; a balcony is a luxury but not a necessity for seeing scenery.

Questions This Creator Answers

QIs a balcony necessary for an Alaska cruise?

QWhat is there to do in Ketchikan without an excursion?

QHow is the food at Disney Magic's specialty restaurants like Palo and Lumiere?

Today is sadly our final 2 days on board the beautiful Disney Magic for our 7 night cruise to Alaska! We are starting off with a partial day at sea as we make our way to our final port stop of Ketchikan Alaska where we are going to be getting off the ship with no excursions planned and showing you guys what there is to do within walking distance of the ship and honestly, we regret not booking a proper excursion. Then finally we have our last day on board which is a day at sea where we start with brunch at Palo and then we have some fun on board with trivia and baby racing! Then we share our final thoughts on this cruise and let you guys know if a balcony is really necessary for an Alaska cruise! 💸 Want To Support Our Channel? -Support Us On Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themeparkexpress -Become A Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDWYUS8BaI1aolCytkk5UrA/join -Donate Directly Via PayPal: https://streamlabs.com/themeparkexpress/tip Our Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/themeparkexpress 👕Visit Our Shop: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/themeparkexpress/ WE HAVE A PO BOX!
