I took a 3 in 1 jacket that had a removable fleece with a waterproof jacket in my Sept trip to Alaska last year. It was perfect :). I took water resistant gloves, it rained quite a bit on our trip, was happy to have them. The other must was smart wool brand hiking socks. I’m a Floridian, I’m a wimp about the cold and I was nice and toasty. Agree with the belt bag and. Light backpack. I did not feel the needed a poncho, I took waterproof pants, that and my rain jacket were perfect. We did a lot of hiking. Merrill hiking boots were great. Going back again this year, just fell in love with Alaska❤️

We got back from Alaska yesterday (Holland America eurodam) for our second trip to Alaska. It was cold but something my husband and I found us that it really depends on how cold you get. My husband.. Freezes so he need a jeans, a sweatshirt and his jacket. For me, not so cold, a jacket was sufficient. Even during our cold rainy day in Sitka. After two trips, our thermals never got worn in June or August. Rain Jacket is required and I always say buy one big enough to go over your regular jacket unless that jacket is waterproof. Early June was very wet. Each time we went, I never had enough shorts. The actual ship and our cabin was warm and I always find I need at least a few pair of shorts.

Hi Ilana! I just finished my Holland America Alaska cruise and I’d like to thank you for all the great tips I’ve got from many of your videos! Definitely you made our trip much smoother and nicer! At first, my husband couldn’t understand why I was buying “weird items”, like magnetic hooks, special luggage tags, binoculars, rain cover, door decorations, or making reservations weeks before etc. But along the trip he said: “You are really well prepared for this cruise!” - thanks to you, Ilana! All the best! Hugs 🤗

We're cruising northbound on HAL in late August from Vancouver to Skagway and then doing the overland through the gold country and back down from Fairbanks to Denali and ending in Anchorage. We're then laying over a day in Anchorage before taking a Princess cruise southbound from Whittier to Vancouver. This will be our 3rd consecutive year doing land/sea cruises in Alaska and they never get old. Your tips are quite good.

Our first cruise was in 2010 on Princess going to Alaska. My sister forgot to bring a jacket. We bought jackets in Ketchikan that we still wear. Went again in 2019 on HAL, more jackets. Going back next year on Princess, will get more jackets. We live in Colorado so we do use them through out the year.

My husband and I are sailing on Celebrity Solstice out of Vancouver on July 28th. We are driving up from Salt Lake City two weeks before to spend time with my kids, grandkids and siblings while staying at an Airbnb in Abbotsford (it's about an hour east of Vancouver). We check out of our Airbnb on Saturday, the 27th and check in to the Best Western Plus Vancouver Airport, where we can leave our vehicle stored for $14/day for the duration of the cruise. We got a single queen room for $159/night (Cdn), and can easily take the Canada Line train from the airport right down the the Waterfront Terminal. The downtown Hotels (Pan Pacific, etc) are EXTREMELY expensive and we're already going to be pampered onboard so there's no need to spend $400/night to $500/night Cdn. at a hotel just because it's close. Also, there is a Major International Fireworks display as well as a football (soccer) game between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Ryan Reynolds owned British football team, so hotels are going to be hard to come by if you haven't already booked. I booked ours three months ago!

Heading to AK in early September. I just purchased a whole lot of things on Amazon before viewing your video and I’m happy to say I wasn’t far off. I did get a 3-in-1 Columbia ski jacket and also Columbia waterproof hiking shoes. We are not hiking, but I really wanted something for wet weather that wasn’t a boot and wasn’t a sneaker. I hate having wet feet and I also have some balance issues so I wanted these specifically for Mendenhall glacier day.

We sail in 21 days!!! EEEEK! I'm so excited! I *think* I have everything but the crossbody bag on my packing list. I have been trying to decide if it's worth getting one...I think between you and Sherri Griffiths I'm convinced. 😉

Great reminders! We are going to Iceland, which looks like it will live up to its name! The only thing I don't plan on taking are waterproof shoes, and hoping the socks will get me by should it be necessary.

Scotchgard your tennis shoes. Travel Tips by Laurie has a video on comfortable waterproof shoes that are cute and functional.

As to Magnet Hooks, it sounds like I'd want DOUBLE or QUADRUPLE the number of hooks I'd normally take so I can hang damp/wet items up. And this might be the one cruise I might look at taking travel coat hangers -- for the same reason.

Going on our first Alaska cruise in August

By the sounds of it, I'd definitely want a washing hamper that had plenty of airing so dirty damp clothing can get a bit of air and not begin to go mildewy... likewise I'd probably want a few "wet laundry bags" either to pack damp clothes into OR to protect the dry stuff from the damp (depending on which I had more of :) )

Did Alaska last July and was so happy to have both waterproof shoes and pants! I also brought disposable towels to dry things off like benches etc. They are pressed into little disks and pop open when they hit water. So very compact.

Ohhh. I forgot about the pop up towels. We take them on hiking vacations. I will pull some out and add them to my pack. Thank you for the reminder!

The towels are a great idea!

Thank you so much. Our cruise will be in early July. I’m a home body so I’m not really looking forward to traveling, but I am looking forward to making memories with our 6 year old twins. Your suggestions and advice is helping with my anxiety.
