Creator's Key Takeaways

I would do all of the cruises to Alaska a million times.

If you're not outside if you're not actively trying to find the wildlife you're not going to see it

A huge portion of your budget, if you're going to Alaska, needs to be set aside for excursions.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack in layers because weather swings can be extreme.
βœ“Bring waterproof shoes to avoid the discomfort of soaked feet.
βœ“Consider booking excursions through the cruise line for peace of mind regarding ship return times.
βœ“Use deck four for viewing scenery to avoid the crowds and wind of deck ten.

Packing too much β€” Bring layers that can be removed; you likely need half as much as you think.
Seeing wildlife β€” Practice 'gun googling'β€”actively looking out for wildlife rather than just waiting for it to appear.
