How They Became Cruise People
- Steven describes becoming a cruise convert after a Disney Dream honeymoon-era sail and embracing cruising as their preferred vacation style.
- He and his family progressed to frequent sailings and now hold platinum Castaway Club status which shaped their Alaska choice.
Use A Rental Car For Pre-Cruise Exploring
- Rent a car in Vancouver if you have pre-cruise days to reach quieter nature spots like Lynn Canyon Park.
- Return the car before embarkation and use SkyTrain or rideshares for easy access to Canada Place.
Inside Cabins Can Be Smart Savings
- Consider booking an inside stateroom on classic ships to save substantially versus a balcony in Alaska.
- Inside rooms were comfortable for two and the ship's public decks provide glacier and wildlife viewing when needed.
