ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Kristie. I live in Southern California with my husband, Noah, and our son, Kody. Cruising is a bucket list item for us and we hope to go on many more in the years to come.
Our first cruise to Alaska was at the top of our list. Traveling by cruise ship is a perfect way to see the sites without having to unpack between destinations. As such, we look forward to more cruises where sightseeing at ports of call is our primary goal.
I am a teacher by profession and once I start learning about something that I am passionate about, I just can't help but want to share about it.
It is my greatest hope that you find my videos helpful and entertaining.

I absolutely LOVED the orange dress. It is comfortable and 100% polyester making it relatively wrinkle free. When I got home, I immediately ordered another dress in a different color. It comes in 22 colors! I may have to order a third. 😀

[@user-rr4qf4xd2v]

Wow! You got everything in the bag.

[@cruisingwithkristie]

Barely. It weighed the entire 50 pounds.

[@user-kd3vi7kx5d]

The stretch pocket for the phone back worked perfect, thanks!

[@cruisingwithkristie]

I'm glad that it worked out. I still have mine on my phone as a way to carry my credit card and ID daily.

Tums for tummy

[@cruisingwithkristie]

Luckily everyone's tummy was fine the entire trip!

[@jeannettefelton9991]

I would suggest packing the wooden nail files because TSA may stop you with the metal nail files. They can be viewed as a weapon.

[@cruisingwithkristie]

Such a great idea to include in my next video. Thanks for sharing.

[@user-qk7zb5ev6e]

I never thought to bring metal hooks.

[@cruisingwithkristie]

They worked well for lighter items. There are heavier duty magnets that can hold even heavier items, but they are very hard to separate.

[@christineshields1714]

Just curious, what size suitcase did you pack in?

[@cruisingwithkristie]

My husband and I shared a carry on and a full sized bag that we checked. It weighed the full 50 allowed pounds.

[@beccacarrillo]

@@cruisingwithkristie But...do you know the size? 24", 28"? Larger? Not sure what you mean by "full sized".

[@cruisingwithkristie]

Got it! 😀. 29.75x19.5x11.25.

[@user-in6gl2hu4y]

I can't seem to find your packing list. Can you repost it?

[@cruisingwithkristie]

A tip of the hat to Cruise TV for her packing list. I did add a few items to the list and will change the description tomorrow to reflect the additions. cruisetipstv.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Alaska-Cruise-Packing-List.pdf

[@user-gn1ti5bl4y]

Did your husband bring a sports coat for formal night in main dining room

[@cruisingwithkristie]

No. He wore khakis and a button up shirt. It was a pretty informal dressy night.
