A: Your bags have to play catch up. The cruise line and the airline will work together to get your bags to the next destination where they can meet the ship.

What to do in the meantime? For our clients who had this happen this week- they could relax knowing that they had trip insurance that covered baggage delay. Everyone in their party had $500 per person to buy the essentials they needed to make it on the ship until their bags arrive.

Because they got our pre-packing tips, they knew that they needed all their important documents, money, medications, and change of clothes in their carry on so they didn't have to panic for the next day or two. Now, they are just getting some souvenir wardrobe items courtesy of travel insurance.

Because they had a great travel advisor, we were able to coach them on getting the documentation they would need for their claim so that they don't have anything to worry about when they got home...and hear a friendly voice telling them how to go about getting their luggage redirected.

Travel is full of surprises- but you can have an expert on your side!

Q: Client question- what's the best excursions for my Alaska cruise?

A: It depends on your top reasons for going to Alaska- but our clients routinely rank Dog Sledding Kennel visits as a favorite along with helicopter glacier landings and flight plane animal scouting.

On one of our favorite cruise ships- you don't even need to leave the deck to mark adorable pup sightings off your bucket list. Puppies in the Piazza with Princess cruises brings all the cuteness of sled dogs right onboard.
