- We have uploaded each day of our cruise as a separate video, which we released every couple of days when we returned from our cruise to Alaska. Now that those daily videos are done, I wanted to offer an alternative for viewing, with all days combined into one mega video.
We sailed on the FIRST cruise to Alaska for the 2024 season on the NCL Bliss, departing Seattle on April 6, 2024. Due to it being the first cruise and no other ships were in Alaska, many stores were closed and excursions not yet offered.
Thank you for sharing your review of Norwegian Bliss! 💙
@norwegiancruiseline thank you for your comment. Happy to be a platinum latitudes member. But this itinerary is really rough with the short port days and amount of shuttles. Not a fan, wouldn't do Alaska on NCL again. Cruise in 2019 on the Joy was much, much better.
Thanks for my Sunday morning Alaska cruise.
Great video, thank you
Thanks! Please let me know if you have any questions!
I always find it hilarious to see people respond to the wildlife in alaska and on the beaches. I grew up in oregon with some time also in Washington. Ive Left the Pacific Northwest but have always come back over my 54 yrs. Im glad to see people appreciate all of this stuff. I try never to take it for granted. I recognized everything that you talked about. I love this area.
It also makes me of how large and diversified this country is, i probably wouldn't know a lot of the wild life from other areas. Im glad you enjoyed your cruise.
Definitely! Just like when people come to Florida and see dolphins (total yawn for us).
Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing your cruise. We’re going on the Bliss to Alaska in August.
Have a great time!!!
Glad San Francisco typically has only one ship boarding ❤(Crown Princess 2024)
This was easily one of the best cruise vlogs I have watched. Your style of sharing was very engaging…and were those things in IPS octopus 🐙??
Thank you for your compliment! Those things were starfish called sunflower sea stars!
Thank you So much for this Amazing video and narrative! We are going on our first Cruise to Alaska in July on Holland American. Now I have an idea of what to expect. ❤️
Holland America will be much better, as I do not believe you will have to deal with shuttles at the ports (you should be docking right downtown). Big difference with the summer is more wildlife, and of course all stores will be open and excursions will be available. Have a great time!
Skagway has one terminal where it looks like the ship is coming up Main St. It's in images on Google.
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Wow what great videos ! We are going on the same Alaskan Cruise on the Bliss early July. Knowing what you know now, would you recommend any must do PAID excursions? Or simply doing what you all did you felt like you saw a lot etc?
We haven’t booked any excursions yet, but looking at your videos, one can do the same thing the cruise line is offering for free!
Appreciate all your awesome work on these videos! Thanks for your feedback!
How active / adventurous do you want to be? I did this cruise in July in 2019 and can give recommendations for sure.
We’re not super active adventurous , kids aged 13 & 10. Kids want to see bears and parents (wife & I) want to see the highlights of each stop, glaciers, whales, shops, local stuff etc. Thanks again
Hello - Thank you for the very nice video. Questions - What kind of Chase card has the Starbuck Perks and Lounge access? TIA
None, it's two different cards. I used points with Chase Ultimate Rewards that I had stacked up when I booked the trip, and Chase booking happened to have the Starbucks perk as an option. And for the lounges, I am assuming you are asking about airport lounges, and we use a Venture X Card by Capital One.
What time did you get on the ship please? Was boarding on Sunday morning? How did you get the unlimited Starbucks? Is Beatles available on Encore? Thanks!
We boarded about 1 PM on Saturday. The Starbucks package is something you can buy, but we got it as a promo when we booked with Chase.
Thank you! You booked via Chase Bank? Do you know…Beatles on Encore?
Question: I am thinking of doing another Alaska cruise but in April (prior May/June). Can you tell me what the weather was like more rain/snow (we had rain). Also were things open in port (shops) or more closed?
The week we went was rainy and overcast but the week after our trip had beautiful weather. So it's hit or miss. Many shops closed but the big ones were open.
Her: there it is
Me: looking at treetops
Are you talking about an eagle in the treetops? If so, I promise there's one there.
Is there a launderette on the Bliss
There is a laundry service. Around Day 5, you can do a whole bag for $34, but there is no self-service laundry available.
What month did you go?
We left on April 6th, the first cruise of the entire season.
There are so many more to worry about in this world, like poverty, hunger, war, crime, etc, than to protest cruise ships. I understand you are concerned about the environment, but this is a fight that could take a back seat to other more pressing things in our lives.
Too long and boring!!!
Yep, it sure is. That's because it's ALL of my 1-day videos combined into one. Each of the daily videos are less than 20 minutes long.
