    The many comments of 'bugs' is surprising in the commentary. The video is taped in an open air situation. Each country has its own species of insects. They do vary, and living in hot/cold countries does produce different specie.

    Thank you for this great video. Can you tell me what you thought of the actual land tours when you stopped at the destinations. Did you feel they were quality. We have traveled on Avalon and really enjoyed their tours, but we are considering Uniworld for another river cruise. The ship looks beautiful but do the tours compare? Thank you.

    First cruise ever coming up in January! Loved your video, but I have a question about ironing. What do you do? Do you only take clothes that are wrinkle free? I know you can’t bring an iron, but can you request one to use for a specific time frame? Do you send your items to laundry? Thank you for any advice.

    @SmartCruiser did you do laundry on your cruise? I'm planning to pack mostly long sleeves with a few short sleeves which will double as gym clothes and then a couple of hoodies (not to mention outer wear). I will also need some nicer tops for dinner. I usually like to wear dresses to dinner on cruises, but I hear most people wear jeans and nice tops in Alaska.

    I usually pack "hard/bumpy" things (shoes, hair appliances, etc.) on the side of the suitcase with the channels for the handle so the flat side of the suitcase is available for clothing that I want to minimize wrinkling. I tuck small soft items (gloves, beanies, socks) in among the shoes/bumpy things to level the surface.

    Wear your heaviest clothing items (boots & rain jacket/coat) on the plane to free up your luggage. Be mindful to include a change of clothes in your carry-on or personal item in case your checked luggage does not arrive with you. Pad the bottom of your carry-on to cushion any breakables. Stuff any shoes (or small spaces) to avoid wasted space.
