Come along with me on my FIRST Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas! 🏔️🚢 This cruise was unlike anything I had experienced before. From sailing through breathtaking mountain scenery to exploring Ketchikan, Sitka and Skagway—and experiencing the incredible White Pass & Yukon Route Railway—Alaska completely changed the way I look at cruising. And while everything didn’t exactly go according to plan (including an unexpected change to our disembarkation port and missing Hubbard Glacier), I made the most of every moment and came home already knowing one thing: Alaska, I WILL be back! 💙 In this detailed cruise review, I’m taking you along for the entire journey: 🏔️ Vancouver, Canada & embarkation day 🚢 Ovation of the Seas ☕ Sea days & life onboard 🌧️ Ketchikan 🏔️ Sitka 🚂 Skagway & the White Pass Railway 🧊 What happened with Hubbard Glacier 🚢 Our unexpected disembarkation in Whittier 🚆 Scenic train ride to Anchorage ❤️ My final thoughts on my first Alaska cruise I’m sharing my personal experience—the good, the unexpected, the things I learned, and plenty of tips along the way to help anyone planning their own Alaska cruise. If you’re considering an Alaska cruise, I hope this video gives you a realistic look at what the experience can be like. ✨ NEED HELP PLANNING YOUR NEXT VACATION?
