Great 👍🏿 video, love Biscuit Bitch. Hope they can get another location back in west Seattle
Very helpful. Going in September with my 75 yo mom. We both have back issues that sometimes make walking and climbing an issue. Especially her. She walks with a cane. Can she feasibly do this excursion? I know it’s wheelchair accessible but she doesn’t use one.
The area is well paved except around the lake. No steep inclines that I can remember and there is an elevator to get to the visitor center. Hope that helps. Happy cruising! 😎
Din tai fung is good and all but it’s a chain, I’d reccomend almond fried chicken at Tai Tung or harbor city dim sum if you want seattle originals
Thanks! Will add those to our list for future visits. 😎
Oh it's free on carnival
Good to know. Thanks! 😎
very helpful! Mahalo! BTW are you from Hawaii? Your accent sounds local 😊
Yup! Born and raised! 🤙🏻😎
very helpful
Thanks! 😎
what to expect nowadays in ANY Alaska port is...excursion prices have gone through the roof...double and triple the prices...open up your wallets if you like excursions...we're going back for the 5th time, next May...won't be taking that many excursions this time...we used to take 1 at every port but they've priced themselves out of even being reasonable
Hey… we’ve been on 4 Alaska cruises too! We were supposed to have been on our 5th Alaska cruise a couple weeks ago, but had to cancel 🥲. We pretty much steer clear of the excursions for the most part too. 👍
Very informative and helpful. Thanks for posting.
You’re welcome and thanks for the kind words! Happy cruising! 👍😎
I live in Sitka alaska!
Nice! We’ll certainly travel back to Sitka on a future cruise. 😎
I went to the Raptor center last May and took a pic of the eagle in the cage and the owl on the girls hand. Going back in 6 days to Alaska and see them again.
Great! We plan to visit the Raptor Center again too. Happy cruising! 😎
Very detailed and looks like we are there. Thanks.
You’re welcome and thanks! Happy cruising! 😎
Taste & Savor and Garden Cafe complimentary? Plan to book for next Summer. 😊
Yes they are complimentary. So are the Manhattan Room and Locals. Happy cruising! 😎
@@CruiseAlaska which cruise ships go to Glacier Bay please? I heard that’s one “must see”.
I hope your wife has a quick recovery and improved heath soon so that you can continue your travelling adventures. Thanks for the great information about the cancellation process and your successful reimbursement.
Thank you! My wife is doing fine. Her doctor said that it is okay to book trips for 2025… but to purchase travel insurance just in case. 😁 Happy cruising! 🛳️
Nice useful info - thank you!
You’re welcome! Happy cruising! 😎
Where specifically is the pickup point? Up one level from where? What parking garage?
Sorry that I wasn’t clear. Everything was in relation to baggage claim. From baggage claim take one of the sky bridges over to the parking structure. I believe the ride share pickup area is on level 3. Just look for and follow the signs. 😎
I nust got back from my I'll ask him cruise on the Norwegian bliss the only thing about the trip i didnt like was the Casino ITS A RIPOFF dont ever play in the Casino aboard the ship.Trust me but everything else was perfect
Curious… what made you feel ripped-off? The machines? I mainly play craps and it was just like when I play in Vegas. 😎
Yes.As I have lived my life,swore off blackjack,never cared much for craps,not very disciplined for the new poker variations,and reverted to slots,I will hopefully follow your thoughts.Slots have a very captive somewhat "suck you in stlye".No worse feeling on a boat I'm sure when a machine doesn't go well.Particularly when you could be enjoying anything else.
Is there a specific line just for haven
I’m pretty sure there is but I haven’t booked a Haven suite… yet. 😎
Very good video, all the essential information for someone looking to purchase for a cruise. I found out it is easy to go down a rabbit hole with binoculars, so it was very refreshing to see this that focuses on the particular use case of an Alaskan cruise.
Thanks… much appreciated! Happy cruising! 😎
Beautiful video thank you
You’re welcome and thank you for the feedback! Happy cruising! 😎
Perfect! Thank you for this. I’m going on board in two weeks and now I won’t have any surprises.
Have a great cruise! 😎
you from hawaii
Yup! 🤙🏻😎
thank you
You’re welcome! 😎
I got a cruise to Alaska coming up, and you helped me decide on this pair. Thank you!
Uh-oh! Pressure… I hope you like them. 😬
Did they have a create your own pasta bar
Sorry… I don’t know. I wasn’t looking for a pasta bar and didn’t notice. ☹️
@@CruiseAlaska no worries
@@westonmartinez7210 👍😎
This has to be NCL most disappointing decision
Yeah… I’m guessing NCL had difficulty getting on the downtown Ketchikan docking schedule. 🙃
How close was it from where the ship docked to the gondola ride?
Hmmmm… I’m guessing that the edge of the Wilderness Landing Dock to the green transporter gondola was maybe 200 feet? 😁
Do you deliver
We don’t but Tracy’s King Crab Shack does. 🦀 Check out their website. 😎
I'll be on the Bliss mid-June, 2024. I booked the skyglider, and hope the bears don't eat me, when I'm up there. I got $50 off all of my excursions, so this one is cheap. It's 5 months until my cruise, and I've got all of my excursions booked. Same for my October 2024 cruise.
June AND October? I’m jealous! We’re going in May 2024. A 10-day cruise on the Sun. Happy cruising! 😎
i will be there in 2 weeks and look foward to the ziprider
I'll be there mid-June 2024, on the Bliss, so it will be slightly warmer. I'll be ready for rain.
Good for you! We booked a 10-day Alaska cruise on the Sun for mid-May 2024. The itinerary has long stops in all the ports. I plan to shoot and post lots of video. Happy cruising! 😎
Great photography and enjoyable commentary thank you for the insight into this excursion!
Thank you… much appreciated! 😎
Thank you for the bathroom information! Some of us older folks have the need to know 😅
👍 Happy cruising! 😎
Nicely done. My favorite place in SE.
👍😎
I haven't been on a cruise yet but have watched a lot of cruise tips videos. One thing all the vloggers say is to have printed copies of your boarding pass and other travel documents, as well as saved digital copies. Some even say to have photos of all your documents as a third backup. You may lose the paper boarding pass and the wi-fi at the terminal might not be the best so a photo would be a safe backup. Of course, that doesn't apply to your passport, just documents like boarding pass and any reservation confirmations.
Yes! We scan all our travel documents, ID’s, passports, etc. and save them in a Dropbox folder and in a Notes file on each of our phones just in case. Thanks!
Any dragon links or lightening links?
Sorry… I don’t know. I mainly play craps. 😎
Thank you for the video, do you remember the name of the tour operator you used for the post cruise excurtion?
It was an NCL shore excursion. 😎
Did I spy 2 ALL ABOARD slots!!! Sailing her for NYE 23. So excited. th-cam.com/video/hjVaUxwFf7o/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the step-by-step video!
You’re very welcome! Happy cruising! 😎
Very useful information, and it's great you include where to find washrooms!
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated! 😎
what deck is the gangway on in Juneau?
Sorry… didn’t pay attention to that. We just kept walking down the stairs until the signs told us to stop. LOL 😂
This is an absolutely perfect video!! I have not cruised to Alaska YET, (Oct ‘24) but this is just about every Norwegian cruise. Depending on your time it could be more or less crowded. Thank you so much for this video!!
Thank you! I posted videos from our May 2023 cruise too. Embarkation... th-cam.com/video/Aiy3mSanWW4/w-d-xo.html Disembarkation... th-cam.com/video/FnBjzjilt0k/w-d-xo.html We are planning to cruise to Alaska again in May 2024. Just waiting for our Casinos at Sea offer. 😎
Very helpful
Thanks! 😎
Great video. Nice and short and to the point. Just what I needed. Thanks.
You’re welcome and thank you for the feedback! 😎
Having just returned from a NCL bliss trip I was highly disappointed when we got to Ketchikan for the simple fact that by the time you got there from 25 min bus ride you had very little time to enjoy this beautiful little town. Why bother stopping there if your rushed to get back to the boat.
Agreed! The short stay and distance between Ward Cove and downtown Ketchikan are bummers.
It's good to know what shoes others are wearing, all the small details really helps a lot. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Happy cruising! 😎
might do this one next month anyone else going =)
October will be nice and cold! My wife and I are targeting next May. Happy cruising! 😎
How many laps or how many minutes is each session?
Sorry… I don’t recall the exact details. I believe the session was for about 10 min but I could be wrong. We just kept our feet on the gas until they signaled us to stop. 😁
Hello good day your agency is foster green?
Hi! I’m not a travel agent. My wife and I just love Alaska cruises. 😎
Pilates?
Hi! I didn’t see a Pilates class while on board the Bliss but the NCL website mentions it. You may want to give them a call to confirm. Happy cruising!
Hey I have another timing question - how long did it take to get seated and finished? What excursions did you do in Juneau? Thanks!
We took the Mendenhall Glacier Explorer excursion first thing that morning and when we got back, headed straight to Tracy’s King Crab Shack. We got there when they opened at 10:30am and there was a long line. We got into the restaurant and seated 45 min later, received our food in 5 min, and crabbed out for 30 min. Happy cruising! 😆
How long did it take for you to ride the gondola up and back?
Hi! The gondola ride was about 10 min each way. Happy cruising! 😁
