- Heading on an Alaska cruise? Wondering what to pack and how to dress for the journey? In this video, I'll share my top wardrobe tips and plus size outfit ideas for women over 40. Get ready to look stylish and feel comfortable on your next cruise!
What to wear on an Alaska Cruise? I recap what I wore on my 7 day Inside passage Alaska cruise roundtrip out of Vancouver on Holland America's Koningsdam cruise ship! I explain why I wore each cruise outfit and give a summery of our Alaska cruise and cruise excursions. We sailed on HAL Koningsdam in July.

Thanks for watching my video, I hope that you found it helpful and informative. I appreciate you! See you soon!! xo Cathy
I watch lots of cruise Vlogers and this is amazing! The day-by-day combination of travel and outfits is so much fun and incredibly helpful. Great job! Thank you. And as always, thanks for the links.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness. 💖
We share a love and respect for wildlife. I so enjoyed your stories of the animals you saw, and your awe of nature's creation. It is inspiring in its beauty. Thank you.
Sounds like a fabulous trip, just beautiful. We had dinner in Skagway decades ago when we lived in Whitehorse, had the largest crab that we had ever seen and delicious too! Thanks for sharing!!!
This was the BEST video I’ve seen yet! A little bit of everything, not too long, you covered so much between what you wore, what you did and saw, and what you liked and didn’t like. Thank you thank you thank you!🥰
Glad it was helpful!
I so envy you! An Alaskan cruise (inside passage, round trip) has been on my bucket list since I was 25, before I ever heard the term "bucket list". I’m now 82 and have trouble being on my feet much, which kind of rules out cruising for me now. Sigh….. It was a a terrific video, a good mix of narration, scenery and style. From NH,Patricia 👵🏻 🤗
Thank you Patricia! 💖
Sounds fabulous! Wish I could persuade my husband to take a cruise but he gets motion sick so easily it would spoil the whole trip (seriously, it doesn’t take much!). How wonderful to see the wildlife and take in all that beautiful scenery - just magical. You’re so right, we tend to gravitate to some key pieces in our wardrobe that it’s a good idea to pack according to what we really wear. You looked great in your outfits!
Thanks Patricia! 💖
Thanks for sharing your cruise with us. I get what you mean about being in the moment. A few years prepandemic i did a Road Scholar trip to the Grand Canyon and took no pictures. 😊
Cathy, you are a wonderful storyteller! I love listening to you talk!
Thank you so much!
We were on the same cruise! The weather was so warm, we heard the week prior was cold and rainy. It was my first cruise and I loved it. My friend wants us to go on a Caribbean cruise next. I live in Winnipeg and our summers are hot and humid, so I loved the fresh cool crisp air. You can't beat the west coast. The only hiccups we had was the taxi trying to to the drop off point was insane due to the volume of people on Canada day.😂 it was great to hear your experience.
It was perfect weather! 😊
Great video. I enjoyed it very much. I've never been to Alaska. It's time for my husband and I to investigate that. I'm glad you got to see the orcas. I have the same Talbot pants as you. I highly recommend them. Your packing and travel tips will help keep me from over packing on our two week trip to the UK at the end of August. ~Janet from Columbus Ohio.
Have fun!
I so love your excitement and enthusiasm.. I feel like I was with you. I agree that once we get used to travelling with carry on only, we no longer need so much. I also agree that our country is beautiful!!
I am so happy you spent time enjoying and soaking in the experience.
Thanks! 💖
Looks like you had a great trip! Yes, Vancouver is a wonderful place!
Great video. We are going to Alaska summer of 2024 and I am soo excited!! On trips, I have also started to just enjoy the experience in the moment and take less pictures!! Also, I have to tell you Cathy...I purchased the Spanx Air Essentials tapered pant!! These are the softest, most flattering pair of relaxed pants that I now own. Thank you for posted about them! They are my new favorite that I will wear often!!
That is awesome! I'm happy to hear that you love the Spanx pants as much as I do, they are amazing!
Sounds like a wonderful time. Its too bad you had a migraine! TFS ❤️
Hi Cathy great video with beautiful scenery and thanks for taking us along for the trip!! Who watches your cat Buddy while you're away?
My brother kept Buddy and sent me Buddy pics on a regular basis. 😉
Sounds like a great trip. Thank you for this video.
Quite informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nope. No to the bridge.😮. I have a friend and his wife that lives on Vancouver Island. Inland is amazing winter or summer. I loved going there and feel very blessed too. I’m glad you guys had a wonderful trip. I really do hate you had a migraine, I hate migraines. 😊❤
Thanks Margaret! We could walk the bridge together? 😉💖 It is scary!
@@StyleWithCathyOver50 I’ll pass. We have one up in the mountains, a couple hours from where I live, never been on it . Not planning on going either.
Thanks for taking us along, Cathy. Beautiful scenery and ohhh, the wildlife! Also, thanks for letting us know that it's still possible to go on a cruise, and enjoy it, even if a health issue pops up. I have a phobia about that, but you're helping ease that fear. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video. I’d love to plan a trip like this soon! thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 😊
My mom cruised everywhere, Alaska was her favorite. I’m happy you got to go on such a beautiful cruise. The scenery looks spectacular!!
I love your story about the bears.🧸🧸
Thank you so much for sharing your trip Cathy! It looked absolutely beautiful. So happy for you that you saw the animals you wished to see. I’ve never been on a cruise before, and you have inspired me to put this on my bucket list. I’ve just finished the last two years having my knees replaced, and now that I immobile again I look forward to traveling thank you again for sharing this. It’s always such a pleasure spending some time with you. You were just like having a sweet friend.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful trip! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I watched this video no less than three times all the way through :) I love the way you are so detailed and also your format of telling us about the ports and experiences and your clothes all together. I loved all your travel videos!
Thank you so much!
Hi Cathy. Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip. I enjoyed Alaska too. Hoping to go again. Take care. ❤
Thanks Gina!
Beautiful it looks amazing.
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the nice video. Enjoyed
Thanks for watching.
When we moved to Alaska in January, we took the ferry up inside passage then across the gulf of Alaska. Cold and darkness for a week. Made it to Valdez between snow storms but made it to Anchorage. When we move south I plan on going to Haines and ferry down. So happy you had great weather.
Really great video, Thank you! My friend and I are going on this cruise, but at the end of September - still very helpful! I love your dry delivery :) - Bear! LOL
Sure makes me want to go there!
What an amazing trip Cathy. That suspension bridge looks really scary. The wild life was so exciting . How exquisite all that scenery is. What a drag about getting a migraine though. At least it didn’t spoil your appreciation of what you experienced. What a fantastic trip. I am so pleased you shared it with us. Love L🌺🌺
Thanks so much! I'm happy that you enjoyed hearing about Alaska. 💖
Very nice video. We will definitely travel to Vancouver as well !Canada is such a beautiful Country.Greetings from Germany😊
Thank you!
Hi Cathy, Alaska is so beautiful! Thanks for the pictures and videos. I find that pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the glaciers, you have to see them to truly appreciate how majestic they are.
I bought the Old Navy jacket and pants (dupes for Spanx) and I love them, thanks for suggesting that.
Have a great day!
Thanks Manon! Happy to hear that the ON dupes worked out for you. I just received mine, haven't opened the package yet. Have a great long weekend!
@@StyleWithCathyOver50 let me know how they compare to Spanx.
Yes! Long weekend, woohoo!
Great v-log!!!
I’m in Victoria (BC), and often the ships stop by b4 return docking in Seattle.
I have wanted to do this cruise for a few years. Not been on a huge ship (live aboard dive boats with -30 people), and I appreciate you noting the Alaska cruise option has a more casual vibe.
I appreciated you packing notes.
Glad you got to see the orcas! Your pictures were great!!!
Boo to holiday migraines, Yay that you got to relax.
Fun seeing you at the suspension bridge X
I haven’t been on that one. We have done Lynn Canyon several times.
✌🏽🫶🏽
I have been to BC several times. I would also move there. Went to Alaska from Seattle. Wonderful
Super interesting! I've always wondered about an Alaska cruise and really should go for it one day. Glad you liked Vancouver and I hear you about the suspension bridge! Locals skip the crowds and yahoos and go to the suspension bridge at Lynn Valley instead. It's free and only a fraction of the people.
Hi Cathy! I watched this video about four times before I went on my cruise and I thought about you when I was whale watching over there. I took a couple of pictures, but I remembered what you said, and just put my phone away and observe and enjoy the moment. Thank you for reminding me to do this, those whales were magnificent.
Awesome! ❤️
An Alaskan cruise sounds amazing! Such beautiful sights! I've never been on a cruise before, but you have a lot of great pointers! I'm thinking I need to book an Alaskan cruise 😊😊
You should! It's so relaxing and beautiful. 😊
Loved this video! I can’t wait to do an Alaskan cruise….I have been doing research and watching videos to gather information for when I finally go….. thank you so much for all the helpful information, very thorough! I really appreciate the help with what to pack.❤
Glad it was helpful!
Cathy, first time viewer here. I absolutely loved your video! I loved how you went through each day, what you wore, what you saw and how you felt. QUESTION In Ketchikan, did you buy the tickets for the guided walk at the pier or through the ship? We are going to Alaska next year (2025) in May on Coral Princess Cruise Tour. We will be 69 & 76 years old, so we aren’t looking for hours of hiking, but I think we can do a few hours.
Welcome!! I booked through the ship. That excursion sold out before we boarded the ship. It was really fun and an easy walk with lots of stops to look at various things.
Two destinations in our list, Hawaii and a cruise 🚢 to Alaska, I loved our cruise to the Bahamas last June, but I am so ready to go on the Alaskan, thanks Kathy for the great information, greetings from sunny Arizona 🏜️
Have fun!
Wonderful to see Cathy! I’m glad you had a great time. Cruising has changed a lot- George and I are very picky about which ships- some lines, some ships don’t prioritize the promenade deck walking circuit. That’s a must for us. We avoid the really big ships. Princess is going big with the Royal class and ditching the walk circuit on the covered promenade deck.
Good to know about that Tracy Arm tour/ I was thinking about doing that one in September when we go but that’s annoying.
I'm picky as well, I love the promenade deck too! I don't like the huge boxy ships that hold thousands and thousands of people. There is a new ship coming out next year, I think it will carry around 8K people, not my idea of fun! Each to their own I guess. Thanks for watching my friend! 💖
Hi Cathy, looks like the cruise was fabulous. I couldn't do that bridge I'm afraid of heights! Thanks for sharing your trip.
Thanks for watching!
My family & I are doing the Inside Passage cruise in September. Your pictures and narratives were so helpful as to what to expect and what to pack. I’ve been to Alaska before but not through the inside passage. I’m going to try to pack light in a carryon as well with clothes I can wear multiple times. I have a Columbia coat similar to yours that will be perfect for the weather. It will be a little cooler in September but I’ve been there before in September and it was just like mid fall where I live. Thanks for this video!
Enjoy your cruise!
Perfect timing leaving next week for our cruise. 😊
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip, Cathy. It looks like a wonderful experience.
Thank you!
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your cruise. BC and Alaska are stunning. Breathtaking scenery and animals. With our long Canadian winters, you could NOT pay me to put on a parka, gloves, and a hat in July. 🤣 Cathy, please a video about cruising. Hoping to go on my first one sometime soon.
I have several cruising videos, if you search on my channel homepage you should see the cruise playlist. I hope that you get to go on one soon! 😊
@@StyleWithCathyOver50 Thanks, will look at your cruise playlist.
I have love Holland America. I’m using your tips for our September cruise to New England and the Canadian Maritimes.
Enjoy your cruise!
What an amazing trip. I’m from Ontario too…and love the west coast difference. We’re on our way to Iceland in October and I’m already trying to figure out what to pack, so thanks for the ideas to consider. Maybe Alaska is our next venture 😊
My daughter went to Iceland and loved it! Enjoy your vacation.
Thank you soo much for your great video! I am going on my 1st cruise ever which is an Alaskan cruise July 2024! Im from texas and use to the heat but not the cold so im trying to research! Plus i am cold natured😂
I really enjoyed this video! I just want to live in the moment with this cruise October 15-22.
Thanks for sharing, we just got back from our cruise to Alaska,we had a wonderful time,
I took too much, I probably only wore half, what was I thinking? I’m like like you, I live a simple life, I’m comfortable in casual wear, and wear the same outfits week after week
Happy to hear that you had a great trip!
I enjoyed this and you are so confident now. So much information! Thanks
Wow! Thank you💕 for this beautiful video! I so would love to go do this too! What an amazing experience! 🌸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it so much! I hope to go on an Alaskan cruise one day and this was so informative. I only have one puffer type jacket (I live in FL) so I guess I'll hold on to that a bit longer, lol.
Thank you! 😊
Loved this video! Your experience and advice on clothing are useful for us older, shorter ladies! Thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
OMG NO THANKS to that bridge😱😱😱
Always enjoy your video and comments
I really enjoyed this video. I'm planning a cruise to Alaska in 2025 and I got lost in the rabbit hole of CZcamsrs who want to give me ALL. THE. RULES. Some nice British man telling me how to embark (hello, could it be MORE complicated?), others who said I should "get to know" my cabin steward (why? will we meet later in life?) and women who bring more make-up and outfits than I own...
Thank you for keep it calm and simple and seemingly do-able. I am a 61 year-old jeans and sweatshirts kind of gal who lives in the PNW. I don't dress shabby, but I am so NOT fancy. Your wardrobe is more my style than any others I have seen. Comfort and versatility are the keys- right? I only have one question- on dress-up nights can I simply not eat in the fancy places? Like, could I wear my not fancy pants and get room service or something? I travel with carry-on only and I am not packing a dress to Alaska.
I also liked your shore excursions- they are now on my list of things to do.
Thanks again for a breath of fresh air!
Hi, yes you can eat anywhere you like. There is the buffet where you don't have to dress up and depending on the ship, there are many other options. You don't have to go to the "formal" dining room if you don't want to. There is always room service as well. I hope that you enjoy your cruise!
I fly out of Ottawa on Sept 8 to go to Vancouver to cruise on Koningsdam Sept 9 - 16th. Thanks for your video. I might lighten my suitcase.
Have fun!
Hi Cathy, I am a new-ish subscriber. Love your content. Thanx for taking us along on this beautiful trip. I can imagine you were a proud Canadian gal thru the BC portion of your travels. That cruise was fabulous! Loved your tales of the creatures you were privileged to see, as well. Thank you for sharing! Sorry about that awful migraine.~Ali (from the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, Canada).
I am so sorry a migraine spoiled some of your time on the cruise. I get them when I sail too, I think the motion sickness that I only experience when we start moving that sets me off. We are going on the Westerdam this month, the same cruise you took. This time I am wearing a patch when I get on the ship. My fingers are crossed this does the trick.
Enjoy your cruise!
Hi Cathy ! What a wonderful trip. Beautiful sights. I have a question for you. I have tried twice to order from Talbot from your link. For some reason I cannot use PayPal from there . Weird because I use PayPal on the Talbot site . Any thoughts why it doesn’t work. Thanks. Looking forward to your next video
Hi, I'm not really sure why you can't use PayPal. My links just direct traffic to a particular items page on Talbots website. Perhaps PayPal is having a glitch? Is it possible to chat with a Talbots agent through their website. Thanks for watching.
@@StyleWithCathyOver50 I just went to the Talbots site and ordered it and paid with PayPal so who knows . I got the leggings and slim leg pants from you trip 👍👏👏
They are wonderful, enjoy!
Lovely
My husband and I did the Alaskan cruise twice, 2010 & 2012. I would be most interested to hear your opinion on the differences in cruising. I don't like it as well as I once did either. I travel with carry-on only too.
A very helpful video! We are taking this cruise July 21-28, flying London to Vancouver (also live in Ontario). We too are carry-on only ppl so really appreciate your tips. Will check out your links - interested in the Talbot and Spanx leggings. Did you spend much time at the pool? Sorry to hear about the migraine. How much cash will we need? I’m assuming both Cdn and USD? So looking forward to it and good advice about putting the phone away and just taking it all in.
Hi Mary, I hope that you have a wonderful cruise, it's so relaxing! I didn't go to the pool once, just wasn't interested. I usually only take a few hundred dollars in cash, mainly for tipping, everything else is paid for on the ship or I use my credit card. Yes, you will use Canadian dollars in Vancouver and then US. The ship is cashless, everything is charged to your shipboard account and at the end goes on your credit card. Bon Voyage!!
Do you have a small camera that you recommend? I've seen you with one before. Thanks!
I just used my iPhone on this trip. I have a small Canon digital camera (Powershot Mark II) that I have used in the past. Here's the link: rstyle.me/+lOtIKp6YmHbFb-6UnvXpnA I've read that most people now use their phone camera, so camera's have jumped in price and they are making fewer.
Love your video. Quick ? What size did you order in the Amazon fleece jacket?
3X
Hi Cathy very informative tee are Viking in this cruise this year . So you didn’t have a formal night? Or did you Choose not to do those our holland America inside passage cruise have 2 formal nights.
They call it smart casual. We chose not to go, but people weren't overly dressed up like say on a Caribbean cruise.
Have you had any issues with the spanx airessentials pant picking? Im considering buying the tapered pant during the black Friday sale.
Are your pants holding up?
No issues at all. I don’t use fabric softener, wash them inside out and hang them to dry.
