   Everything to Know Before You Cruise Ketchikan Alaska!

   If you're cruising into Ketchikan, Alaska, here's everything I wish I had known before I got off the ship. I came in twice on Virgin Voyages back to back, so I got to experience the port in very different ways and with very different weather. In this video, I'm walking you through how disembarkation actually works at Front Street, the two shore things I did (one was a Knudson Cove fishing charter, the other got cancelled due to rain), and exactly what I did with my Plan B day. Spoiler: there are way more options at port than you think. I'm also covering the best food spots (the Alaskan Fish House lives up to the hype and the Krabby Krab is a clutch backup), the lumberjack show, plus a few fun facts about Ketchikan that'll make you a smarter traveler before you arrive. **** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! **** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbll3TlhkTUNVdzhCVFhRSWVQMmhUVmEyTS00Z3xBQ3Jtc0tuVVBBUWlYdmVPc3Q5dzRObU1ZTVdlQUdqeG5yNkEwV1JJSGtrSXFXWVhxMUFzV210eGFrMUVBQkRrODg4bUNvLWpQOHJxWnQtZ3lmMFIybHpOQnRnSjkzUFp6cTk4S2FXbVBLMHhtMlFJMXBIQXN4SQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbookwithcl.com%2F&v=GtCAeLNQNS8) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjFJZWVUQWVldFlzWUs3RDRpM3NiMlZ0V0VSd3xBQ3Jtc0tuY192WWtZUG03b3h6cF9RRVBFTVZHT1Q5SXZrN29ETTJKMFpjMVNuN3VzcHhxSzhVamVucmJrMGExdkZaeWZqenJIRGR0S3Z0NWRxa3RycGtha2k3NENsMmc4UEJ2ZEVlM25ERlZNRzhzbDh6NEtTVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbookwithcl.com%2F&v=GtCAeLNQNS8) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazYwUDU2R25SRUZqN05vWm1aWW5fck5QTUFld3xBQ3Jtc0trTGpreDhBUThrT2x6R0pWMi1KLVBQX2w3WFo3TU9ZTG5wWDRudFl6WDNvX0Q2XzJ2U0FYdS1fdzJUbjN5SkNqZnNfRmphZ3J5TnhMSVR3eWptTlhtRXBPM2gxbGUxYmplSjZJdmFGUzUzb0dNcGNndw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbookwithcl.com%2F&v=GtCAeLNQNS8) Need a how to?

I do A LOT of research before I travel and I take EVERYTHING I learned and EVERYTHING I experienced and I make the travel videos I WISH I GOT TO SEE. That’s what you’re seeing in this video and I hope it helps! I am NOT a Youtuber that just walks around with a camera showing you “random things and me living my best life”. These videos are created to HELP you KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, plan the BEST trip possible, and take the trip! We ALL need to travel more. Made with tons of love.

   Watch This BEFORE You Sail Virgin Voyages Alaska!

   If you're sailing Virgin Voyages Alaska, this is the video I wish I had before my back-to-back 14 nights on Brilliant Lady. There were so many things I didn't expect, and some of them you'll want to act on the second you book. I'm walking you through the shore things you need to book ASAP (some sell out fast), what the outdoor spaces are actually like (spoiler: people are outside way more than the internet would have you believe), and all the Alaska-only programming you'll want on your radar before you step on the ship. I'm also covering the Alaska food and drink situation (there's way more than I anticipated), why I'd push hard for a Sea Terrace on this sailing, and a bunch of small tips most sailors miss, from photo booths to the hidden Alaska live stream on your stateroom TV. 🏔️ Get my FREE Alaska packing list, port map, tips, and more!!https://christinelozada.com/alaska/ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbU9fWC02Y3l3UTRvclpiaXJwTVlsX2NVSnJMZ3xBQ3Jtc0trQmE0Z0ZyWGliN3RqWUVTaDhNVldIQmk3ampkSlRpRVdDcDVLYVpOUE95bW9RZVM1U0pNQzRrV0RtSjFlWl82Z1k1X1dVSXlQb0hySGRtLWVVbVpBNldxSGNSeEZWa09GQldMeW4wTWxIQzEtUkdMRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fchristinelozada.com%2Falaska%2F&v=e7_Pq2s-vl4) 📝Get on the EMAIL list!https://christinelozada.com/newsletter/ (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUxLYzZQVDlIV3ppSlpucld4MF9sYk5ONmhwd3xBQ3Jtc0tuWlFwWGhWNHdXTmxuaXdJdDd6OENBLTFEb0lFLWFsdEpHTjE3UnlMRnVXN1hmajhaUUlYTm1SbGNZLXc5Z2lQSDk1cVZKV0luMnFVeXNicHFpX2E3VFRlbzhFNWJvSjZ4eGFfV0RpdWFIXzh5VWZScw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fchristinelozada.com%2Fnewsletter%2F&v=e7_Pq2s-vl4) 🎥 See the Alaska PLAYLIST!   • Virgin Voyages Alaska Cruise: Planning + E...   (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Xvq234Alo) Brilliant Lady What to Know video:    • Virgin Voyages BRILLIANT LADY! What to kno...   (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAErEGhdSig&pp=0gcJCR0AztywvtLA) **** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! **** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal)🔗https://bookwithcl.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnBsRkRxMVFvc196QlVqVTV0ajE1ZVRHWTVhd3xBQ3Jtc0trMjdVVlNVMTRQWGNzRHJhS2E0aHlBX0wzYTlwN0F3NGQyMFZweVY2VU1Tdmo3bHNVMmlrUWNuNGt5QnNWdlM1ckQxOWs1OG02ZWZYWkdSYUxiU0xHc2JHQWpBS24zM3NOeGppOWVaQ2k0YXNldTlrUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbookwithcl.com%2F&v=e7_Pq2s-vl4) Need a how to?

   Is Kimpton Monaco Seattle Worth It? Honest Review

   If you're staying in downtown Seattle and considering the Kimpton Hotel Monaco, here's my honest review after staying there before my Virgin Voyages Alaska cruise. The property just went through a full renovation in August 2025, so a lot has changed. I'm walking you through the location, the on-site Marin restaurant (those Turkish eggs are unreal), the gym, the lobby's daily social hour, and a full room tour of the Monte Carlo suite. I also share the free Seattle experience amenity I used, which is a must-do. Plus, I'm sharing exactly what I paid, the Amex Platinum perks I used to save, and the small booking mistake I almost made that I want you to avoid. If you're choosing between hotels in downtown Seattle or planning a pre cruise stay, this should help you decide. ***Blog post coming soon!!! ***** BOOK YOUR SAILING WITH US! ***** 💰Score the BEST deal and get a quote on your Virgin Voyages sailing! 🤓 Even TRAVEL AGENTS book with us (we get a better deal) 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com 🔗https://bookwithcl.com Need a how to?
