Planning an Alaska cruise? There are a few things you’ll definitely want to know before you go ❄️🚢 Alaska cruises are absolutely incredible, but they’re also very different from other cruises, and there are some common mistakes that can catch people off guard if they’re not prepared. In this video, we’re sharing Alaska-specific cruise mistakes to avoid. From not understanding the difference between Inside Passage and open ocean itineraries to being surprised when your port isn’t actually in the city center (hello Ward Cove 😅). We’re also talking about things like how expensive excursions can be, why weather can impact your plans more than you might expect, and what you need to know about packing for Alaska (hint: it’s all about layers!). Plus, we’re covering a few things that can make your trip so much smoother, like booking excursions early, understanding how late the sunsets are, and even how to take advantage of Seattle’s Port Valet service on your way home. If you’re planning an Alaska cruise, this video will help you avoid common pitfalls and make the most of your trip. Have you cruised Alaska before? What’s something you wish you knew ahead of time?
