We took your advice. We booked Alaska on the Encore May 2025.

I was just going to suggest a baby gear packing vid. This was great, thank you! We like bringing a sound machine too for naps and night time so the little one stays down and we don’t have to be silent.

The sound machine is a great add. We will try to put out some more specific things around toddler traveling. Additionally working on standing up a website to be able to provide even more specifics. More to come. Emma & Jack

I'm so glad I found your channel! My family and I (which includes my fiance and two littles age 4 and 9 months) are cruising to Alaska in May. We are so excited, but I've been researching nonstop for what to bring for all of us, so this was very helpful!

Good news on your sponsor deal . A must pack is a good bottle opener for the IPA’s

@lindsayslivealittle 10 ай бұрын

Thanks much. As for the bottle opener, I always carry one in my wallet! You never know when you’re going to need it. Jack

We've been to Alaska 3 times and I think you pretty much nailed it as far as the packing. Moving on up in the world with a sponsor.... you've 100% earned it though, I always enjoy your content :) Also going to check out level 8, as it turns out the airlines busted one of the roller wheels on my wife's suitcase on our last trip.

Thanks for all of your Alaska videos - very helpful. Important: Binoculars - don't forget to bring them with for an Alaska cruise watching wildlife and scenery more clearly. Especially for whale watching binoculars are essential. I've experience - here in French-Polynesia we have whale watching season (July to October) at our beach or on boat (see following notes about my home). I will be on a 9 day Alaska cruise in October only with carry-on !!! (it works, have done already "test-packing") because I have short time frame between international and domestic connecting flight at arrival in US. And on ship I have free laundry (loyalty status 🤩). Why going in October for me - okay, it's colder, but in average only 4 days of rain and there are much better chances to see northern lights. So, I'm soo excited. It might seem funny for people, but I do miss the cold seasons (I'm European and moved over to South Pacific). Greetings from Moorea (sister island of Tahiti) in French-Polynesia 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺

Do you recommend a waterproof backpack? If so, which one do you use?

@lindsayslivealittle 4 күн бұрын

We always carry our waterproof backpack. Jack also uses it as his daily backpack. Here is a link to the one we use: www.amazon.com/RAINS-Rolltop-Rucksack-Backpack-Waterproof/dp/B0CBXRPVT4/ref=sr_1_12_sspa?crid=2L4851XJI1I8Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cjfJiAYliOlPq4rYchfvX8NnznZkEqqlVJxN2lo0foA82fW5BRMKEHOARD1R_CeygZoZZoNu57ebTXgDTBGdbMYJREVWLypk4EjQ2Rn7SIWoRZzaUP7NJuAXB6cH_AQqp1NukFCtKsp0ioRogjg4ad9GzmcO1IMzDJpaK3X_6z-ZiqMOaLFUB_VmsPNjrnSCLUNJnEUjUP-gCuh1nC2f-Ezt2Aaf1grc80NM200I-MctQ33vOGHu7mjziVFGZme9voqRiFWiufIT39cGifF5qucR4pEfctKvdz5oJdnXIE0.BBESYdINRaMr3MCQ0sauugqWEsSBA4LOkVzaHr2HLeg&dib_tag=se&keywords=waterproof+backpack&qid=1736886267&sprefix=waterproof+backpack%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-12-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&psc=1

We’re heading to Alaska on Princess in June 2025. My husband and I have been there a couple times but this year bringing our whole family, 7 of us including an almost 1 yr old. We are flying from LA to Seattle to start the cruise. We knew we’d have to bring a car seat and a stroller but never considered the Graco. If we don’t bring, it do they have enough cribs for all who need them? Thanks, love your videos!💜

@lindsayslivealittle 7 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching! You should have no trouble getting a crib/pack and play. We just like to bring ours when she was little and really needed a nap! Day one can be crazy and it can definitely take a while to get one on boarding day!

Question for anyone.. How warm is it just walking around the ship? Do I need another layer if it’s cold?

@lindsayslivealittle 10 ай бұрын

It is usually around 70. I (Emma) tend to take a sweater or sweatshirt with me around the ship because people are always going outside to see views so sometimes cool breeze. (And you might want to hop outside to see a whale or nice view for a minute) Live a Little Emma

Do you use the car seat throughout the cruise? Do you use it at the ports?

@lindsayslivealittle 8 ай бұрын

Yes we carry our car seat whenever we travel. It is super easy for rental cars to taxis in ports.

@japatel23 10 ай бұрын

What u think about april Ncl Encore mid april good idea to go or what time u prefer? I have 13 and 15 yr old and from east cost

@lindsayslivealittle 10 ай бұрын

We would suggest no earlier than May. From weather to having all the shops of activities open, mid May is the earliest we would suggest going. But love the Encore and the itinerary!

Did you guys check the travel backpack on the plane? Did you put it in a bag?

@lindsayslivealittle 7 ай бұрын

Yes we check it. It can with a travel bag that we use.

@kellydooling 9 ай бұрын

we are considering an alaskan cruise and enjoy your videos to help us choose/plan. however, we are a carryon suitcase (with a backpack) only family. do you have recommendations for that, or do you always check bags?

@lindsayslivealittle 9 ай бұрын

We typically always check bags since it doesn’t cost us anything extra and we have had to check car seats and strollers anyways. But Jack travels for work and just uses a carry on. His favorite is the aluminum sided cases.

@kendracruz-k1b 8 ай бұрын

We have a 3 year old and a 2 year old is it a MUST to have a travel car seat?

@lindsayslivealittle 8 ай бұрын

If you plan on renting a car or using taxis a lot during travel than we would suggest purchasing travel car seats. Some countries do not require car seats but everywhere in the US will require them to be in seats. Otherwise you can add a car seat to many rental companies but it has an additional cost that adds up.
