Must Do's when Planning a Disney Alaskan Cruise

If you've ever thought about taking an Alaskan Cruise, I'll be the first one to tell you DO IT! A cruise to Alaska is once-in-a-lifetime, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it.  It's an expensive one, but by far, Alaska has been one of our favorite vacations.  It's very different for your Caribbean Cruise, but it is totally worth it.

1. Do book the cruise:  With so many Disney Cruises to Alaska under my belt, I'll be the first one to tell you JUST DO IT! A Disney Alaskan cruise is unlike any other vacation.  Everything from the world class service and entertainment onboard the ship to the amazing excursions.
2. Do think about when you want to go:  The Alaskan cruise season is typically from May to September each year (with Disney Cruise Line).  Most of my sailings have been in June and July but if you are looking to save some money, I recommend May and September.
3. Do splurge on a stateroom with a view:  If you can afford it, I highly recommend a verandah or an Oceanview.  I'm not opposed to staying in a stateroom without one (and I have), but since it's an Inside Passage cruise, most o the trip you will have amazing views.
4. Do fly a day or two early and spend some time in Vancouver, BC:  Vancouver is a beautiful city with so much to do and see.  I recommend a minimum of 2 days before, and if you can stay a few days after too, believe me, you will not regret it.
