Exploring Ketchikan with my Mom.

In Fall 2024 I sailed Princess Cruises to Alaska. I had completed my (certification name) and was offered an educational cruise. It was a great opportunity to experience the product firsthand. We sailed roundtrip from Seattle, WA which is a typical Alaska cruise itinerary. Princess Cruises is the leader in Alaska cruises featuring 18 ships, 40 itineraries and their own lodges near Denali National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park and Fairbanks. They are the gold standard when it comes to Alaska cruising.Princess Cruises does several things well. From offering special Alaska themed foods to multiple learning opportunities, Princess really is the Alaska leader for a reason!


We really enjoyed the ports that we visited. Below is a quick recap of each one.


Ketchikan: This is a great port for shopping. There are tons of unique shops you can check out. I recommend taking the short walk to Creek Street for some shopping. You can find some one of a kind totem poles, Alaska exclusive snacks and sodas as well as learn more about the history of Creek Street. We tried Alaska Crepe Co which offered many sweet and savory crepes. One of the best crepes I’ve ever had!


Juneau: We did the Gold Belt Tram Excursion that took us 1800 ft to the top of a mountain. They had a restaurant, coffee shop, gift shop and lookout viewing area. One of the most memorable parts of my vacation is having an amazing vantage point. We also checked out the Red Dog Saloon which was a fun, adults only, old-west themed bar. You can try local beers and sodas as well as try some of their delicious appetizers. 


Skagway: One of the most popular excursions to do in Skagway is the  White Pass & Yukon Route Train excursion. This excursion is popular for a reason. We were able to listen to narration that talked about the historic Gold Rush while also seeing stunning views of mountains and valleys. You can’t see views like that anywhere else. 


Overall, Princess Cruises is great for multi-generational families that want an immersive Alaska experience.

Disney World Trip
Sarah took all the stress out of planning our Disney trip! This was our first trip to Disney World in over 10 years and we knew a lot had changed. She was able to help navigate all the nuances of planning and was so incredibly organized. You can tell she is passionate about Disney and making your trip memorable. She followed up after our trip and was genuine in wanting to hear all about it. She was so easy to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to help ease the stress of traveling these days!

Best Vacation Ever!
Sarah is very knowledgeable, friendly, and very detailed with the information that she gave to us. She was able to answer all of the questions we had. We really liked that she called us right before our trip to see if there were any other questions and she also called when we got back to see how our vacation went. She also had recommendations on things to eat. We will definitely be booking through Sarah again in the future.

Great Curacao resort
Booking two Sandals Curaco reservations, as well as, air reservations.
Sarah had excellent first hand knowledge on the resort, as having traveled there in November 2023. Many useful tips while on property.
Also, she helped us navigate the Mobile Passport Control app usage to facilitate and ease the taxing process of proceeding through Miami International's Immigration and Customs maze.

She was always so helpful and nice and regularly followed up with us from the time of booking the trip up to departure to ask if we had any questions or needed anything. Everything was booked correctly and we had no issues.
