    We are a diehard Disney Cruise Line Family and last year we did Alaska. We decided DCL was too expensive and decided to book Princess for all the reasons you listed. Everyone told us it was the best in Alaska. We had a 5yo and a 3 yo with us and I wasn’t expecting much as far as kid entertainment BUT Princess did an amazing job. Everyone from our little ones to the grandparents had an amazing time!

    Just foud your channel and so glad I Did because you guys are the best. Just average folk sharing what they have learned with other average folk. I was born and raised in Anchorage but left in 71 after living there for 15 years and now want to take a cruise up the coast from Seattle but have no idea of where to start planning from there. But now i have a greater understanding of how to start planning. Thank you guys you are great.👍

    We just got back today from our Alaskian cruise on Discovery Princess and we had a wonderful time. My only regret that I was not aware of until the naturalist did his talk was knowing that the whales were still migrating from Hawaii to Alaska in May. He said there could be some early arrivals, but for the most part they were still migrating. We only saw one tail though others saw more. We didnt do the whale excusion out of Juneau because it was so cold & rainy.

    We're going on our second Alaska cruise on Princess in 2 weeks (to celebrate our 50th Anniversary), with a couple of days in Anchorage before the cruise. I appreciate your videos so much. I really think you have the best Alaska ones out there! Thank you for this video in particular. I was already excited and now I can't wait to get going!

    We took a short excursion to a totem park in Ketchikan, but then we walked around. Went to Woodlands and a couple other stores and had lunch. Great place for just walking. In Juneau we were docked at a far dock, not the one right in town so needs a shuttle bus if you didn’t have an excursion. We went to Mendenhall. Took the White Pass train ride in Skagway. I’d love to come back but it’s a.long trip from the east coast!

    Whales! If you want to see whales make sure your itinerary includes JUNEAU! We went late May and went whale watching in Juneau. WOW! We are from Southern California and have gone whale watching many times at home. Nothing compares to what we saw in Juneau. Surrounded by humpbacks and orcas and sea lions and bald eagles for three hours straight. The entire time they were all over the place. Our minds were blown!!!!

    If you come to Alaska and see Denali, you will be a member of the 30% club. In the past two weeks, she has shown herself only four days. A group of mountain climbers spent five days sleeping in chairs at the Talkeetna airfield before it was clear enough to land on the glacier at base camp.

    We are going on our 1st Alaskan cruise soon. Your videos have been so helpful. We took your advice and are renting a car in Juneau. There's so many beautiful things to see. Thanks for the reminder that I can't see everything on my first trip. But I sure am going to try and see as much as I can.😅 We did add a week long land portion as well.

      October is definitely starting to feel colder. Bring warmer layers, but one of the upsides is that it is starting to get darker and colder so there may be a chance for the northern lights!
