Great tips! I remember hearing you guys are not big drinkers, but something to mention that caught us off guard on our trip, (at least on NCL) regardless if you have the drink package, while you are in Washington waters you are charged an additional alcohol tax, which was I believe was 10% or about $1-1.50 per drink depending on what you get. This was charged all embarkation day and started around 7pm the final night of the cruise as we entered back into US waters, pretty much immediately after departing Victoria. Depending on the size of your party (and I mean number of people, plus how much you like to actually party), it can add up pretty quick.
TIP...Bring a nice pair of high powered binoculars. I was able to see well over 100 whales on this exact sailing. Saw many full breaches and bubble feeding. TIP.....when looking for whales always look close to the land as that is where the fish are that the Humbacks love to feed on.
Wow so many changes on this one. Since you missed Victoria I think you should visit in May wink😉😉😉😜. Glad you guys finally made it to Alaska. Thanks for all the great tips and info.
😂😂😂 Hmmm well, Alaska 2025 season gets released soon so we may have to pencil that in… 😜😜😜 We absolutely loved Alaska and can’t wait to go back! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@HoffmanHappyTravels thank you, I'm trying to figure out if this is the tour plan for all trips here with Royal, because I'm finding more excursions the ship doesn't directly offer
Very well put Matt and Chelsea!! Great summary and pointers
