Alaska cruises are very port intensive so make sure you book some interesting excursions in Juneau, Ketchikan, and Skagway. Does she have any interest in the outdoors or wildlife? There's a whole lot of it to see in Alaska.
I have booked the helicopter with sled ride on the glacier, whale watching tour, and a nature walk with food at the end. She really just like video games, but I'm hoping to show her the world outside is beautiful.

Your granddaughter can take all the selfies she wants to share on whatever social media she patronizes, including the heart hands around the setting sun!
Also, don't discount that on an Alaska cruise you can also look at the scenery as the sail up the Inside Passage takes place. Then the whole time in Glacier Bay (assuming it's on the itinerary) will be spectacular.
Glacier bay is on the itinerary and the reason I went with Princess. Primarily I don't want to hear, "I'm bored." or "I miss Disney." I'm trying to show her photos and tell her as much as possible about the good things so that she won't immediately compare it to Disney.

Shhhh, don't tell her about the wifi, I'll never be able to talk to her if she knows.

She can do everything you can do except drink Alcohol. So she can eat, drink non-alcoholic beverages, use pools/hot tubs, go the spa, gamble in the Casino, attend activities and events, go to lectures, arts/crafts, dance to live music or in Disco (if the ship has one), audience participation games, karaoke, production shows, MUTS, sit and read, play board/card games and so on.
There should be enough people onboard between 18-25 for her to find a social group if she so wishes
What are the production shows like? What is MUTS? Is there a daily paper copy of things to do or is it only on the ap?

I think the only activities she won’t be able to do is drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes .. not that I’m suggesting she do either. I believe she will be able to gamble if she wishes to do so.
I don't gamble and I'd really rather she did not, but I suppose losing $5 might be a good lesson. 😆

Two years ago I took my 18 year old granddaughter on Discovery to Alaska. They had nightly meetings for 18-20 year olds. My granddaughter loved it and is still in touch with many of the "kids
This sounds wonderful.

Originally, I had planned to take my sister on a cruise to Alaska this August. Unfortunately, she has had to cancel so I'm now considering taking my 18 year old. She's only ever sailed Disney when she was young enough to be in the clubs. What can she do for fun during sea days? What is the night entertainment like?
I was thinking to bring some small board games to play on the balcony while drinking hot chocolate.

Can you please tell me more about the premium desserts and the desserts in general when you have the Plus package?
-
Get the amount you'll need before you leave. Call your insurance company and ask for a vacation waiver on the quantity limitations. I've always had success with this. A pharmacist once told me that the only time he'd ever seen one denied was for someone who asked for it multiple times in one year.
Thank you very much. One less thing to worry about.

Wonderful thread. I'd like to do a solo world cruise myself. My biggest anxiety is about medications. How do you get refills on such a long journey? I am only 43 but take several essential medications daily.
How are "PLUS" package purchases accounted for?
