You’ve got Alaska cruise questions, we’ve got answers!
Today, we’re answering your Alaska cruise questions. Everything from the year long ban to alternative options for visiting the 49th state. Why are we talking about Alaska when we may not be able to cruise there this year? Well, the simple answer is that there is still plenty of interest in cruising Alaska. Alaska cruises are SO popular and a great way to explore the 49th state. You can expect dramatic scenery, glaciers, wildlife wide open space.
Yes, there is currently a ban in place, so let’s talk about that for a moment. The Canadian government extended a ban on cruise ships until at least 2022 just weeks before its initial restrictions were set to expire. This ban, which has been extended until Feb. 28, 2022, applies to all cruise vessels carrying more than 100 people. It was first implemented in March 2020 and was set to expire Feb. 28, 2021. We aren’t sure what will happen with the ban. Perhaps cruise lines will find a solution before the year end, but that all remains to be seen.
Your Alaska questions
Here is a sample of some of the questions we’ll be answering in this podcast. How do you find authentic Alaskan Curiosities? Which is the best side of the ship on an Alaska cruise port or starboard? How do some months differ when visiting Alaska? What is a must do itinerary? What do you do on sea days when cruising Alaska? Of course, we have many more Alaska questions to answer on this podcast, so you’ll want to listen to the whole thing.

Here’s what people are saying about the CruiseTipsTV Unplugged Podcast
- Informative & DelightfulMarch 28, 2023 by Cruising In Wonderland from United States
I found Cruise Tips Tv on YouTube because of their amazing ship tour of the Carnival Miracle a few years ago. I quickly fell in love with their channel & followed to their podcast & Insta account. They have really been an asset to my cruise planning with so many amazing and thorough tips, tricks & reviews. I always recommend them to anyone going on a cruise, but I like listening and watching their vlogs just for fun or if I miss being on a cruise ship too! They are very professional, but also very personable. I absolutely love their genuine personalities, and the way they value each other speaks to me most. You can tell family & integrity is important and that makes everything they do so enjoyable!
- Made me a cruise expertMarch 22, 2023 by MK OKAYY from United States
I have fallen in love with cruising, and Cruise Tips TV has become a regular part of my life now. Cruising is wonderful, but I do think there is a learning gap for people used to land vacations. My first cruise, I made all the mistakes. Second cruise, overcompensated and made all new mistakes. Then, I found Cruise Tips TV and it improved my cruising experience ten-fold. Now, I always have a cruise booked that I’m looking forward to. I follow Sherri and fam to keep up to date and to keep my excitement alive for my next sail. My partner and I are planning our first Alaska cruise with Princess this May. Truly, I would never have tried an Alaska cruise without Cruise Tips TV’s vlogs, videos, and podcasts about cruising the last frontier. I’m big on knowing what to expect, and they have made me feel very prepared for what I can predict, and ready to embrace surprises I can’t. My partner and I are planning to have a packing date night a couple weeks prior to our cruise. I’ll have packing cubes, the Alaska packing list, and cruise-inspired cocktails handy. And I’ll have the podcast playing in the background of course. Thanks so much for all your work and content.
