Planning an Alaska cruise can feel overwhelming, but in this episode of Wanderlust & Wishes, Krystle and Julie break down everything you need to know before you book. From choosing between top cruise lines like Disney Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line to understanding the difference between roundtrip and one-way Alaska itineraries, we cover it all.

We dive into why Glacier Bay matters and how ports like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan shape your experience. We also chat about the most popular Alaska cruise excursions like whale watching, dog sledding, and the White Pass Railway, plus what to expect when it comes to weather, pricing, and packing.

If you’re deciding between sailing from Seattle or Vancouver, wondering if a balcony room is worth it, or trying to figure out the best time to cruise Alaska, this episode helps you get started.

We’re celebrating Episode 100 … by diving into one of the most immersive and magical experiences at Universal Orlando Resort.

In this episode of Wanderlust & Wishes, Krystle and Julie are breaking down all the things when it comes to wands inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

We’re talking through how the interactive wands actually work, where you can cast spells throughout the parks, and the spots that are absolutely worth your time versus the ones you might want to skip when crowds are high. We’ll also share tips for getting the most out of your wand, how to avoid common mistakes, and whether the experience is really worth the cost.

If you’ve ever wondered how to unlock all the magic in Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and Ministry of Magic or you want to make sure your kids (or let’s be honest… you) get the full wizarding experience, this episode will help you plan it the right way.
