@@jmartinid Thank you so much! And thank you for taking the time to comment.

@@sdgdean Thank you so much! I am traveling in Las Vegas for the next few days and am using my phone to answer. We were on Caribe deck, I believe in 226 towards the front. The port side was fine but I think I would have preferred starboard. I’ll give you some more thoughts when I return home next week so keep watching. Thank you for watching and commenting!

@findushere thank you so much for the quick reply. I'm thinking of changing room to the starboard side, if possible. Looking forward to your further opinions. Good luck in Vegas!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy for you that you have that cruise booked in 2025. I think you'll love the ship and the cruise! I enjoyed Discovery so much that I'm taking a Pacific Coast cruise on it in March of 2025. I hope you have a great trip. Feel free to reach out if you have questions that I can answer. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I have never heard of Tourism Maritime Service. Booking directly with the cruise line through the princess.com website is an easy way to do it. Once booked you will have many excursion options through their website and app. You can also use a travel/cruise planner who can do it for you. Do a little research and see what other people think before making a decision. I use Allison at Let's Go Travel Tips who has a very active TH-cam channel I would recommend. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

So glad to hear that you went and enjoyed the cruise. The weather is pretty unpredictable this time of year and can definitely be cold and/or rainy. This video was filmed about this time last year and I just went with an open mind and determination to roll with it. I loved it and the time aboard was way too short. My next cruise is coming up in a month. Keep cruising! Thanks for watching and commenting!

You're welcome! I love Coopers as you can probably tell from the video! All of their locations follow the same formula so although I've never tried the stockyard location in Fort Worth, I have no reason to think it would be any different. Thanks for watching and commenting! Come back a let me know what you think of Coopers if you get a chance.

These are some great pointers! If I'm actually trying to get somewhere, I just avoid the strip. There are so many choices now compared to the "old days" and the crowds are more spread out with everything not centering around just shows on the strip. You are so right about the routes not being straight though! Hope you have a great October trip! Thanks for watching and commenting.

There are certainly a lot of commercial kinds of places there but there are also things like historic creek street, the lumberjack show, the salmon run when in season, and many opportunities for wildlife and scenic daytrips to Misty Fiords National Park nearby. There is also opportunities for locally sourced salmon and other seafood in restaurants there. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're welcome! Hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes I think you would love this place. It's like living history. I can spend hours there. There are things there that remind me of Silver Dollar City but they use it to sustain a lifestyle. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you so much! I hope you and your wife have a great cruise! I loved the Discovery, in fact I'm doing a Pacific Coast cruise on her next spring. I'm also a little jealous. You get Glacier Bay this season. We didn't! Have fun and thanks for watching and commenting.

Wow that would have been disappointing! I have heard from others that if it was foggy or there was lots of ice they wouldn't go in there but I felt like we got pretty close for such a big ship. It was a perfect day as you can tell so that was a contributing factor. This was in September so there may have been less ice than earlier in the season. Also keep in mind that many of my shots are zoomed in so we're not be as close as it seems but certainly close enough for a nice view. It certainly lived up to my expectations. I've been on several glacier tours on the small boats you see at the ports and that is the way to really see them. They go right up in the ice and very close. Those are great tours. Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to comment!

Thank you! I have 50+ Branson videos on the channel if you're looking for ideas on things to do, shows to see, places to stay, and places to eat. Hopefully you can find something helpful if you're interested. Is it your first trip? October is a great time to visit. The weather is getting cooler and the leaves are changing. I hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes it is! It is great food with a great atmosphere. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for the kind words. We got there around 11:00 a.m. We took an Uber which dropped us off by the terminal. There were porters immediately available to take our non-carryon luggage. I have heard that Ubers are no longer allowed right by the terminal and their drop off point is a little walk to the terminal. I also talked to someone who said there was a pretty long line to turn in luggage on a recent Discovery cruise. I think they arrived a bit later though. I would get there early to avoid as much of this as possible. All of that being said, we were through security and onboard the ship within 30 minutes of arriving. Hope this was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Last half of September. It was cool and rainy but still an enjoyable cruise. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes they are quite plentiful and although this was a good year, there are usually many. My next two videos from the Texas Hill Country are even more so. At one point the bluebonnets are so numerous that it's hard to tell where the bluebonnets stop and the lake starts. Thanks for your support!

So do I as you can probably tell! This was a very good year. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

Thank you so much! I am glad they remind you of the beautiful Ozarks. I spend so much time there that I consider it a second home. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you will stay in touch.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

Thanks! Spring Break is definitely not the time if you don't like crowds! Fall is usually a much better time. I have seen it then when you could just basically get right on the river boats. It's still a fun place with great places to eat anytime though. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

You're welcome! When I was working in education, we had conferences there pretty often and it was great for that. There's lots of good food and lots of places to explore in addition to the River Walk. Thanks for the comment! Hope you can make it down there one day.

Very true! I do the best that I can!

@@findushere You did a great job.

@@murphysoutfitters9649 Thanks again!

Love that bridge. It's one of the scenic places on highway. I did realize that was the same track as the Branson Scenic Railroad. Thanks for the information and for watching and commenting.

👍

Thank you! It is a beautiful area. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Sorry you didn't like it...

It was certainly raining the week we were on this cruise but I was prepared and it didn't bother me that much. I also heard from someone on the cruise the next week and the weather was good so it's probably hit or miss. I've heard the same things in May. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You're very welcome! It's so nice to hear that what I do is helpful to someone. Your cruise does not have to be stressful. You can find many places on board the ship to just sit back, relax, and take it all in with zero stress. Also the ports are easy to take at your own pace. The White Pass Railway is a great trip. I've taken it many times and keep going back to do it again. There are so many choices of food that I think you'll be able to find plenty of things you'll like that will meet your needs. Thank you again for watching and commenting. I hope you have a great cruise! If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

You're welcome! I too have been there before but this time was different. It was not busy at all and it was cool and rainy instead of the usual hectic and busy days in the summer. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

We didn't go through Springdale on this trip. This route bypasses it but we've been through there many times. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.

We stayed at the Hotel Nexus in Seattle. The hotel was fine but the location was north of the port and far from the airport which is south. It was arranged for our group by the cruise planner. If I were doing it again I would stay close to the airport or somewhere between the port and airport. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you have a great cruise. It's a great trip!

@@findushere thanks for the info, safe travels in the future

@@randytroxell4974 You're welcome and thank you!

I don't ride but it seems like a great ride on a motorcycle. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you! I used a combination of a GoPro Hero 9 and an iPhone 14 Pro. Both have great stabilization so no gimbal was needed. The GoPro worked particularly well in the rain because of its fixed focus. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

You're welcome! Enjoyed tonight's premiere chat!

You're welcome! August should be better for storms for sure! Keep in mind though that it still rains a lot in southeast Alaska so keep that in mind when packing. Have a great cruise! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Sorry about that! Honestly in several cases I just forgot to take the pictures and didn't always have good close ups but still wanted to give everyone an idea of what the food was like. Thanks for watching anyway!...and taking the time to comment.

Thank you so much! I hope the videos help. Be sure to reach out if you have questions. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Don't really have to yell 😃but traffic can be pretty bad but much better in the last few years. There are many alternate routes now. I think it's all about what you are looking for. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Learn the parallel routes. Turn off Roark Valley and come back up where you need to be. That kind of thing.

@@williammain7281 I agree. Traffic is not much of an issue anymore. I've done videos on all of the alternate routes. Thanks for the comment!

It's a nice trip. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

I do like Chinese food. I hope to make a trip to that part of Oklahoma soon. I'll add it to my list. Thanks! And, thanks for watching and commenting.

It's a great place! Good luck to you and your family. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you and thank you for watching and commenting!

You're welcome again! Thanks for taking part in the chat.

You're welcome! The Pine Beatle damage throughout the west is indeed depressing. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with it!

Sorry you didn't like the music but thanks for watching.

Haha...You're welcome. Things are definitely a little pricey there! Thanks for Watching and commenting.
