Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm gonna be going to Skagway Juneau Ketchikan and then getting off in Vancouver we also have two days of scenic cruising

I'm here by myself I got an insane price for this cruise on a drop and go sail

I would come the night before stay on the Anchorage side and then get up early to take the train which is a direct path here to the ship

I am NOT going to leave this cruise feeling that I missed out on anything

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Embarkation day on the Coral Princess in Whittier, Alaska. I share my experience getting to the ship and what I would do differently next time. The Coral changed from only offering per-minute internet pricing when I was last onboard, now they have a three-tiered unlimited access plan. I am really happy to see Princess modernizing in this area! (I probably single-handedly funded the system upgrade by paying per-minute on my Panama Canal cruise) Next time will be scenic cruising the Hubbard Glacier ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ›ณ I apologize for the poor lighting and crazy close-up video in certain parts of this vlog, I was using an older camera and didn't know the settings were off. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
