Alaskan cruise suggestions four

facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedin

I’m taking a cruise and did a search for suggestions. Here are things I learned. This is the last blog on this subject. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

These notes are onshore excursions:

A lightweight, fold-up backpack or day-pack
always carry your passport, ID, boarding pass, credit card, and money – and always use those places as to not lose and/or have to spend time hunting for important stuff
Always walk off the ship when in any port you visit
Always wear walking shoes when in port
American dollars are widely accepted in cruise ports
an Alaska cruise is all about where you visit and the onboard experience can almost become an afterthought
appropriate footwear for what you’re doing
Ask guest relations for a port map to get the scoop on where everything is once you get off the ship.
Be Sure to Taste the Local Flavor
Bear logo or Hand logo or tour times made by locals
Book tours in advance
Bring a Digital Camera (and Binoculars
Bring a variety of clothes for a change of clothes.
Budget extra money for shore excursions.
Day-time activewear
Don’t go early to gangway early for an excursion. Wait for the message of gangway open
Don’t overdo excursions so you cannot add stress
Exercise wear for a workout on the ship
Hope on and hope off busses inexpensive way to see.
It rains a lot
It Will Rain During Your Cruise
Make a copy of your passport to carry instead of the real thing
most cruise lines will offer a variety of onboard talks and lectures that provide valuable information about the history, culture, and wildlife of the ports of call
Ports are not guaranteed
The ship will wait for excursions hosted by ship if they are late.
Snag snacks from the buffet to take with you
Temperatures can change considerably from one destination to the next, and even on otherwise warm days
towns are not huge can walk them rather than bus tours
Underwear for all days
whenever leave ship always have sail, sigh and ID/passport with you
You must carry your cruise card everywhere you go and a big purse is not necessary
You Need to Pack Layers
You will have better weather and potential wildlife sightings mid-seasons
