Alaska Cruise Review: Whales, Glaciers & Ovation of the Seas

Is an Alaska cruise worth the hype? Dayna returns from a family sailing aboard Royal Caribbean’s newly amplified Ovation of the Seas and shares everything you need to know before planning your own Alaska adventure. We cover the stunning train ride from Anchorage to Seward, sailing past Hubbard Glacier, whale watching in Juneau, meeting sled dogs and puppies in Skagway, searching for bears in Icy Strait Point and exploring Alaska’s small port towns. Dayna also shares her honest thoughts on Ovation of the Seas, the best activities for families, whether you really need a balcony cabin, which excursions she would book next time and why you should prepare to spend more than expected on excursions, souvenirs and king crab. Whether you are considering a one-way Alaska cruise, comparing Royal Caribbean with Disney Cruise Line or wondering whether Alaska is a good destination for kids, this episode is packed with firsthand advice, practical planning tips and plenty of travel inspiration.
