    Hi! I was on this same exact cruise as you guys in May 2023 on the Ovation. I wish I would have seen you vlogging, I would have said hello. My sister and I did similar things in Sitka as you guys. We had an amazing trip and are reliving our vacation/cruise through these videos. Thank you!!

    Great vlog guys. The time changes take some getting used to especially for us as we are travelling from the UK. Happy you are enjoying Alaska! We have just got back from our third visit and were on Celebrity Solstice. Now booked for our 4th visit next May on Ovation. We try and visit at least once a year now in between our other cruises. It's so beautiful. Suggest if you go again, try and find a cruise with Icy Strait Point included as they have the longest, fastest zipline in the world there and I think you would love it! 😊

Thanks for the recommendation. Hope you had a great visit on the Solstice we definitely need to get on a Celebrity ship.

    My Enchantment Of The Seas friends!!! It was so nice to see you guys in Alaska freezing your buns off. Kala was back on the HUSH Silent Disco dance floor again too. She danced with us as you walked around filming it on Enchantment. Enjoy your Alaskan Cruise. That is a future one for me. I did the Southern Caribbean this year on Grandeau Of The Seas. The same size as Enchantment. I want to do an Oasis-class or bigger next year. I have graduated to BALXONY class too. Have fun.

      Hey!! Haha glad you enjoyed the video 🤣 we had such a good time in Alaska and yes Kala was back at it at the HUSH silent disco, its one of our favourite nighttime events. Having a balcony was sooo nice but I think mainly we'll be back in the interior because of the cost. You definitely need to try an Oasis class ship they are next level! We're on the Oasis of the Seas in September! Nice chatting with you again, thanks for watching 😎🍻☀️

    • @ryanandkala
      @ryanandkala  2 місяці тому +1

      We booked the Juneau excursion through Alaska Shore Excursions, but would recommend booking that one directly with Above and Beyond Alaska to save $
      The white pass rail was booked through Royal
      I believe we booked the Sitka totems, eagles and bears through viator.
      I am pretty sure Ryan puts all our booking links in the description :)
      Let us know if you need more help :)
