I'm an experienced cruiser who has sailed around the globe.
So I was excited to take my husband on his first cruise last summer to celebrate his birthday.
We chose a seven-day Princess Cruise to Alaska in and out of Seattle on the Royal Princess. The mid-size ship would visit the Inside Passage with a day cruising in Glacier Bay National Park, two full days at sea, and stops in Alaska at Juneau, Skagway,Ketchikan, and also Victoria, Canada.
I had cruised with Princess before and liked how they offer a sweet spot between casual and luxury. It was also the first time either of us was visiting Alaska, and since seven Princess ships sail there, I felt confident that they were experts in cruising America's last frontier.
The base price for the cruise was $799 per person, which included an interior stateroom, all meals not served in specialty restaurants, and entertainment.
I thought that was a cheap price, but as an experienced cruiser, I knew there would be extras, such as Wi-Fi, beverages, excursions, and upscale dining.
In the end, I spent just over $2,800 per person, which was $2,000 more than the base price. While it wasn't exactly the cheap deal I originally booked, I thought the price was well worth it considering the fabulous trip we had.
Here's a closer look at how we spent our money.

Good morning from Skift. It’s Friday, January 26. Here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today.
Alaska Airlines said Thursday the Boeing 737 Max 9 grounding will cost it $150 million and that the airline would hold Boeing accountable.
Federal regulators on Wednesday cleared the way for Boeing 737 Max 9 jets to fly again — but also said they would put new limits on production of the troubled planes.
It appears Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft will begin returning to the skies in the coming days after the planes were grounded in the wake of a harrowing incident on an Alaska Airlines flight earlier this month in which a door plug explosively blew out of an aircraft during flight.
Alaska Airlines is making a few changes to its route map in the coming months, including the addition of one route to Canada and the subtraction of another between two major tech hubs.
Holland America is taking inspiration from the 1920s again for its latest over-the-top Mediterranean cruise.

I'm probably one of the most credit card-dependent members of the TPG team. I already have too many for most humans to keep track of, resulting in my need to use spreadsheets to keep up with all my benefits. In fact, at last count, I had more than 20 open cards.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will keep the beleaguered Boeing 737-9 Max planes grounded until it approves the aircraft manufacturer’s inspection and maintenance process.
