Are You Actually Ready for Your Alaska Cruise?

I spent 7 years working on Norwegian cruise ships — two of those seasons in Alaska, on the NCL Sun and the NCL Bliss. I watched hundreds of passengers come home saying "it was fine."

The ones who came home saying it was the trip of their lives? They knew 10 things before they boarded. This check tells you exactly which ones you're missing.

I spent 7 years working on Norwegian cruise ships — two of those seasons in Alaska. I repositioned passengers to the right side of the ship on glacier day. I told them to save whale watching for Icy Strait Point. I watched the helicopter glacier walk sell out every single season. This guide is the conversation I would have had with you before you boarded.

Most Alaska cruisers spend thousands on their trip and return home wishing they had planned differently. Wrong excursions. Wrong cabin. Missed wildlife. Poor timing. After 7 years on cruise ships, I watched the same preventable mistakes happen week after week — and wrote down everything passengers wish they had known before they boarded.
