Hi I am the one who gave you the mini brands love your vids
That was so sweet of you!!
Very kind of you to do that. 👍
Wishing you all a wonderful cruise 🛳 😊
The piano playing while you got on!!! 😍Magical!!
Adam & Sherri, We really enjoyed your Vlog..Very informative and well don..Your love of Alaska really shows and that's very contagious!! We've done 14 Princess Alaska Cruises LOL Yes 14! So addicted! The Royal Princess we sailed on was a 680 passenger R Class ship...ahhhhhh it was lovely.
LOL Tim Horton’s coffee to start your day! Going with Starbucks with Sherri - bunk beds reminds me of my room with my sister flash back of the bed moving when we flipped over.
Sherry face is glowing and smiling. So you know it's awesome. Glad y'all had a great time.
Thank you!
I'm finally catching up with your vlogs. So far this cruise looks amazing.
I was the kid who gave you the mini brands
Hi! It was so great to meet you! Did you have a fun cruise?!
@@LeggLife yes it was great
I love your great energy and I have thoroughly enjoyed this video. I can't wait to enjoy this cruise ship on a West Coast tour in October. Thank you for wetting my appetite.
I can't wait to hear the pros & cons at the end of the trip. I LOVE those motion sensor lights so much. We usually bring our own night lights with us; love to leave those home.
princess seems so underrated online, no one ever talks about it but it's my fave cruise line so far (for reference, I'm in my 30s). The ships are so pretty and the food is the best. it's so chill, sitting in the atrium is just so nice. dance lessons too!
(Disney cruise in the fall though!)
We were surprised how little there was online as far as blogs or vlogs talking about princess! We definitely think it’s a line people should check out!
Hi Adam and Serri, I have been on the Royal pre COVID and I am so excited for both of you. I want to cruise again soon. Thanks for sharing our vacation.
Omgosh...so exciting! Can't wait for more. Blessings to you both 🙏
We're excited to share this entire series with you :)
Wow!!! Absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking us all along.
It really was amazing! So glad we had this experience!
Thank you so much for this Adam and Sherri. Definitely going to make my work day easier!
Right now just using the vlog as a podcast on my way to work 😭😂
Your vlogs keep getting better and better! Thank you for taking us along !
That means a lot to us, thank you!
Thanks for the info on the Duchess of Cambridge. Love you enthusiasm for everything Adam!
What a great cabin and balcony! And so many beautiful small group sitting/gathering places. Looks like the start of a FABULOUS trip.❤️❤️
I really loved all of the small group sitting areas! That was something that I didn't expect and I really loved it!
Beautiful ship enjoy your holiday 🥰
So excited for this series
We’re so excited to share it all with you!
Love that stateroom balcony--I would be tempted to spend most of my time there!
The balcony was so wonderful! We definitely spent a lot of time out there!
This was a great video, it’s nice to see you enjoying the stateroom and balcony. Cannot wait for more vlogs ⛵️🥰
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Adam and Sherri, I'm so excited for you both, can't wait for your vlogs, take care and enjoy 😊 ❤👍
Thank you!
Great video once again. I admit I would spend lots of time on the balcony. I adore the sea. I loved your excitement going on board. Happy sailing.
The balcony sure was amazing!
Hi Adam and Sherri! What a fancy ship and a an amazing cabin! So happy for you guys! It's going to be a wonderful week, for sure! Enjoy! Can't wait to watch your trip videos! 😊
Hi Carla! Thank you! It was absolutely an amazing experience.
What a beautiful ship and great stateroom! I'm looking forward to all of your cruise vlogs, as well as Justin and Lacey's!! I'm sure you all had an amazing time together!
The beauty of the ship was one of the things that really stood out to me. It was stunning everywhere!
I will be on this exact cruise in 27 days. Flying in from Australia. Thanks for this feel so much better about my traveling sol.
Having done this trip from Vancouver on Princess, north.....we are looking forward to all your upcoming Vlogs. Enjoy watching and seeing your smiles! Glad to see you relaxing! Vickie from SE Pa
It was such a relaxing and wonderful cruise!
Omg u have no idea I needed this going through depression right now y'all are my happy place. Love u Adam and Sherri Beth.
Hey friend! So sorry to hear that you’re going through depression right now. Keep going! You matter a whole bunch and we’re thankful for you.
So glad I found your channel! We cruise on the Royal Aug 2023 and this has me beyond excited!! Great Job!
Hi Legg Life! So happy to see these cruise vlogs of your adventure in Alaska. We will be headed up to Alaska for our second time in September on the Carnival Spirit and taking my stepson with us for his first ever cruise. He lives out in Oregon and we live in Virginia so we are meeting up in Seattle. Love your videos and seeing what we are so looking forward to. So glad you are having a great time and am looking forward to the whole series. Take care everyone!
Haha I watched a ton of your videos in the months leading up to my disney cruise. We just booked an Alaskan cruise on the ruby princess and I am very happy I can enjoy more relevant content from you now.
Wow!!!! What a beautiful ship!!! State room and balcony looks amazing. The views from that balcony are going to be great. I hope one day I one day to go on an Alaska cruise. The land tour of Alaska I took was fabulous so to do a cruise someday would be awesome.
Adam, keep these long cruise vlogs coming!!! Smiled from beginning to end ☺️
So glad you enjoyed this! Several more long cruise vlogs coming your way over the next couple weeks!
The room is cool with the big balcony. You can definitely see the differences from the Disney cruise ships. Feels more “adult”
Looks amazing! cant not wait to take my on wife on a cruise.
I Love your enthusiasm!
So excited, we sail Royal Princess in September!
Hey I went on that cruise too at the same time!! I miss it so so much. I think I saw you guys filming! The weather was actually so awesome too it was a perfect cruise.
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I’m new to your channel but totally enjoyed watching your travels.
Thank you so much!
We have been waiting for these vlogs to be posted. My family wants to do an Alaskan cruise, but we only sail Disney. Can’t wait to see your point of view as a former only Disney cruiser. Watching the Z roll vlogs as well.
I can confidently say that we are no longer Disney-only cruisers! We will certainly be cruising other lines.
Great Vlog! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
We always sail Princess. Just received our medallions today for our cruise next week. Hope you enjoyed your first Princess cruise.
It was great! We will definitely sail Princess again!
Omg! I’m loving this cruise series!! Watched every minute!! Can’t wait for the next one. Hopefully you guys will do a comparison video of Princess/Disney Cruise lines when it’s all said and done 😊 xo p.s. that Banana Fosters tho 😂😂😂
Thank you! I hope you enjoy this entire series!
Oh my gosh I’ve been DYING for this series to start!!!! Looks like such a pretty shiP! And the food looks good too!! Love the dynamic between you four ❤️
The ShiP was absolutely stunning, and travelling with friends only added to the experience!
@@LeggLife 🤣😂😅 I’m so glad you guys had a great time and it wasn’t full of shiP!💖
Everything is so beautiful 💗
It was a spectacular ship, that's for sure!
What a great first time experience, thank you taking us along. Everything looks so fancy, didn’t notice a sail away party, do they have this on the Princess Cruises?
Cannot wait to see more volgs! ♥️
So, they didn't have a sail away party like DCL does, at least not that we heard about. We watched us sail away while out on our balcony at the front of the ship, so we may have missed it if they did.
I always think of Tim Hortons as a “beverage” 😂 Cannot wait to watch this series!!
Wonderful video! I’ve been on Disney, RCL and Princess cruises (and enjoyed them all immensely) and I think what stands out to me is that I feel like an adult on the Princess and RCL cruises. Granted, my Disney cruises have been with my young children, but I still feel like it’s more of an adult feel outside of Disney.
LOVE Princess ships! Last cruise on the Emerald, we put our decorative bed pillows over the bottom side bed lights. They were too bright! The food is always perfect! Cannot say enough about how much we love Princess!
Yes, we learned the pillow over the bed light trick as well! Ha! This was certainly a wonderful first experience with Princess.
Thanks for this. My wife and I are taking our first cruise in June on Royal Princess from Anchorage (Whittier) to Vancouver and I've had no idea what to expect. We're going with some good friends and family so it should be fun no matter what. I don't want to go into this trip blind. I want some intel so we can take full advantage of the trip. I'll be checking out your other videos. You guys seem fun. Thanks again!
Love your room.
That's an amazing balcony!
It really was amazing! We loved having it!
The Princess Cruise Ship looks really awesome. The entry hall when you board the ship blow me away. And the area for younger kids up to the area for the teenagers is really cool. I love it that they made the table in the shape of surf boards. I don't know if you have noticed this, Adam. I'm sure you had have an amazing cruise. 💗💗💗💗
Yes, the entry onto the ship was absolutely beautiful!
I love cruising on princess we always leave out of San Francisco area my husband and I have been on quite a few Alaska cruises not counting all the other cruises that we went on princess I know you will have a wonderful Alaska trip it's beautiful
It certainly was a beautiful cruise on a beautiful ship.
Yay! I've been waiting for these to start posting... I'm tempted to try a Princess cruise since we could sail out of San Francisco and actually drive to the port. Looking forward to seeing more in upcoming vlogs :)
We should absolutely chat about Princess! We would (and will!) book another Princess cruise for sure.
LeeAnn, I've been on 5 cruises,2RCL, 2Princess & 1Disney. Luv all things Disney but not all our friends are. Actually we own RCL stock but Princess is our favorite. Going again this fall.
I always usually watched your vlogs on my own. Since moving, that has proven ineffective since I just never have time to watch them. So I thought, you know what? I’m going to watch with Ezra! He knows Adam and Sherri now. And he’d really like these new videos because we’ve been on the Royal Princess!
First two seconds. Adam says “hi friends”. Ezra says “hi Adam!!” I bust up laughing. And then when Adam asked Sherri what she was doing at one point, Ezra just says “uh, she’s fixing her hair Adam.” 😂 Guess watching with Ezra is a good choice!!
Man, just your first day and it’s reminding me how much we loved that ship and would gladly go back!! Although, yeah. Lack of outlets was a bit frustrating!
And so interesting!! When we cruise, the comedians are usually our favorite (aside from trivia 🤓). But the Royal Princess comedian is the only one we’ve ever left early from. Maybe they need a better entertainment recruiter. 🤷🏻♀️
Aww, I love that you two watched it together! The Royal was SUCH a beautiful ship! That's one thing we notices, Princess sure makes a stunning ship!
🇨🇦 here! Tim’s is the best!
Just started to watch the video, ok, am I the only one who saw a hidden Mickey in the Atrium floor….lol
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the video. The ship looks beautiful.
The ship really was amazing! In fact, we were pretty blown away with how nice it was!
Excellent video ❤❤
i am new to your channel but liking your videos alot.
I'm going on a cruise with my dad, my uncle, and my aunt on Sapphire Princess. Tomorrow it starts from Vancouver BC and ends in Whittier AK. After that, it is a 4 day land excursion to Fairbanks, AK.
I just want to say I'm only 1 minute and 30 seconds into your video (the first I've seen from you,) and I already subscribed. You both have such lovely energy!
Hi! Dang, that’s quite the compliment! Thank you so much!
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE POST...."Timmy's!"
Haha! It’s always fun to visit Timmy’s!
We took that same cruise route a few years ago on the Island Princess. The Royal Princess is absolutely stunning. Something that was available on our ship that we didn't know about before boarding was a tour of the galley and food prep area for the restaurants. As a foodie, it was very enlightening on how they prepare food on board and deliver it. Also the hour tour ended with meeting the Chef on board. Very enjoyable so if they offer it. Do it if you can.
Oh gosh, we would have LOVED that tour! We will remember that for next time! Thank you!
@@LeggLife That’s the thing. It wasn’t listed before the cruise. Found it on the daily sheet. 🤞
Subscribed and following along for Alaska. I am super interested in a forward balcony cabin for Alaska next year and wonder how usable it will be especially on glacier day.
Awesome vlog! We will be going to Alaska on the Discovery Princess later in July!
How great! We hope you have an amaing crruise!
The first is the best❤
We just booked cruise + tour. With the tour being first. This video let us see what the first day is like. Thank you
What was the dress like in the MDR after the first day.?
We plan on watching the other videos over time (our trip isn’t until 5/2024)
Omgosh we got off Royal last month. Interested to hear if Cory is still playing in Crooners Bar?
You will see the value of Princess this week 👍👊😁
Glad u guys have a good time, but I couldnt do all those people together....kinda is opposite IMO of what the Alaska experience is.
Great video
lovely family
I've been on a Princess cruise before but not that one. They are really cool and this one you were on on looks beautiful. I really like Princess because they only hold 2,000 something people. So you feel like you have the ship all to yourself. At least the time I went idk about now.
I believe the Royal is one of the larger ships for Princess and it can hold about 3,600 passengers. However, there were around half that many for our cruise, so it was wonderful.
We are booked on the Royal Princess next summer (2024) after our youngest graduates high school. The ship will be departing from Whittier and ending in Vancouver. We live in South Anchorage, so we are looking forward to actually driving to the port - instead of flying out days prior - just to make sure we get to the departure port with plenty of time. I really enjoyed this series and it's always nice to hear from other Alaskans on how they like cruising Alaska. Thanks.
Lets be honest, not only are we watching to enjoy the trip with you, but to also learn about a different line compared to Disney! Compare away!
We will have LOTS to share about the comparison in a video after this series.
Loved the video! Bummer about the power outlets though.
Yeah, the lack of outlets was a bummer for sure, but we will be more prepared for that next time :)
Welcome aboard. We are at night 6 of our 7 night cruise. No masks anywhere, except medical facility. I put "Where the Red Fern Grows", "The Giver", and "Atlas Shrugged" into the library on board the Carnival Vista.
Awww, I love that you put books in the library too!
I’m going on the Royal princess in December this year to New Zealand for 13 nights!
Hi Adam, Thanks so much to show us this wonderful and interesting video. I was wondering that delicious dinner in the restaurant at 36:12, did you have to special order ahead time and is extra cost right? If so, how long ago you need to order that and how? Thanks so much if you can please share with us the procedure. I will continue watch your great video. Thanks.
Saw Vincente head waiter 👋 👋 👋
See all you have been missing, we have done 5 different Princess cruises, we love Princess, food and everything else are excellent! We are Loyal to Royal and Celebrity, we don’t do Carnival!
It was a really great experience, we're so glad we tried something else! Disney was better in a lot of ways, Princess was better in some, but the price difference between the two is HUGE!
She is a beautiful ship. Cruised The Royal Princess October 2019
Sherri - I love love love that top you wore to dinner! Where did you get it?
I want to know too!!!
I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad! :)
They do mini brands Disney ones too along with mini backpacks with mini stationery items.
We've seen the Disney minibrands! It's so cool they do that!
My dream cruise. But I'll hold off until they are done with all the Rona stuff.
I noticed the medication you were storing in the fridge is Ozempic. Not sure if you knew it only has to be stored in the fridge prior to first dose. Then it can be stored at room temperature.
🥰 TY
for the meme of it all, you’d have to play Battleship on a ship
Loved the cruise series!! I’m curious - how was the motion at the very front of the ship? Any concerns about seasickness being worse up front?
We actually didn't notice any motion difference from when we've cruised mid-ship. We expected the worst because that's what we had heard. Maybe we lucked out, but for us it was great!
We did that same cruise five years ago but went with Holland America lines. The ship is very similar of course and the route is the same. The differences are very minor. We loved it and would love to go again but the flight from Australia is too long.
We would love to try Holland America as well! We've heard great things about them :)
Can you post the Patters? I'm trying to figure out if there is enough PG entertainment for our under-18 crowd.
Hi, thank you for the video, I have a question about dining at night in main dining room have to be dress very formal? (Not specity dining)
Wow! That ship is beautiful. It is like a hotel on water . I'm glad you all enjoyed your cruise 🙂🚢
As a Canadian I like that you left from Vancouver but why couldn't you have left from Seattle?
Good morning! My cruise departs from Seattle, do you by chance have any pre/post cruise tips for Seattle??
I know this may be an odd question, but here goes. Do you know if both dining rooms having windows? We enjoy sitting at our table and looking out the window. Thanks
I’ve been on keto for 6 months and when I travel I eat whatever I want but boy do I feel horrible. Do you have any tips from going from keto to “regular” food?
Are there good places to view the scenery of Alaska on the boat if you don't get a balcony room?
Did you guys find that forward facing balcony to have substantially more motion than say a midship room?
What about the outlets by the bed you we’re going to find out about? 🤔
