Creator's Key Takeaways

Alaska is expensive. So if you're in the planning phase or you have planned, uh you might have to up your vacation savings or up your spending money because stuff is expensive.

Don't even think Caribbean. Caribbean is not even on the list. Think about, you know, Alaskan cruise is going to be all about the port stops. It ain't even about the ships.

You want to make sure that you pick a cruise line that actually have a scenic view. So, that's why we chose Celebrity Edge because they have plenty of areas that you can observe.

In Alaska, it don't start to get dark till about 11 12:00. Sometimes even after 12:00. So, the reason that we telling you this is because it's going to affect your sleep.

High costs β€” Budget extra for expensive excursions, food, and Ubers; consider saving 12-18 months.
Ship amenities β€” Don't expect Caribbean-style deck parties or constant pool activity; focus on the views and ports.
Cabin selection β€” A balcony is highly recommended for glacier viewing, but don't let the lack of one stop you from going.
