Enjoying your Vlogs of Alaska for far. I want to go to Alaska with Royal Caribbean next. I did my first cruise a few months ago with Carnival, also to Alaska, but we had Ketchikan instead of Sitka. Doesn't seem like there's much to do or see in Sitka, besides the bears. Looks boring compared to Ketchikan. Maybe I'll stay on board. On to your Day 4 vlog...
Thanks for sharing about the Sitka $25 shuttle and buses being off on the weekends. I would recommend doing a walking tour with Bob Purvis. He's a retired educator and very knowledgeable. Then you can do stuff on your own after the tour.
hey guys, just enjoying your vlog...I was so surprised when I saw that Earl Turner was the entertainer in the theater! I lived in Vegas from 2000 to 2015 and in 2003 I won a competition in the newspaper for tickets to see Earl, plus dinner and a limo ride! Hoping he will still be on the Ovation when we cruise to Hawaii in Oct 2024!
Y’all are ADORABLE! I’ll be in Sitka in September and really don’t want to do a ship excursion. Now with the info you shared, I’ll be more confident doing my own thing. 😊 Great video and info, thank you so much!
First let me say that I really enjoy all of your cruise content! Secondly - you two are adorable! Love your energy and the smiles and laughs you share together make me smile and laugh too. Thanks for the vlogs!
I love how u guys always venture out on your own. I'm so terrified to do that on my own or even in a group. Haha. U guys are brave for sure to always venture out alone
We don't generally venture more than an hour's drive on our own. We want to be able to taxi back if there's any problems. Anything further we would typically book with the cruise line. Thanks for watching and happy cruising!!!
I absolutely loved this video. I am going to Sitka on a cruise in August and will watch this again with my husband and I subscribed to your channel. Thank you for mentioning the $25 hop on hop off shuttle and we are planning on doing things on our own. Thank you!
Glad you have enjoyed the video and thank you for the support. We did go back later in the summer and for some reason the Hop on hop off bus wasn't running that day but there were other companies. It may have already been full to capacity because multiple ships were in.
I've just finished watching your Carribean cruise on the Mardi Gras and I have to say it was a real pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to watching your Alaskan cruise.
Thank you! It's not an actual Starbucks location, but they do serve Starbucks coffee. Tall beverages were included with one punch on your coffee card. Grande and Venti drinks were two punches.
Thankyou for your videos... They are so helpful.... Just a question... When walking in the national historic park... How likely are you to come across a bear ?
Glad you've been enjoying the videos! We have not seen a bear there but I know they are around. The park is fairly busy. So it's a good idea to stay in groups or near other people.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer Thankyou for you answer... We are from Cape Town south Africa... So a little concerned... What do we do if we do encounter a bear?
In your videos the virtual balcony looks like it’s constantly blue. Is that how it is in real life or is that just how your camera is picking up the hues?
We thought it was worth it if you get Talls because it's about half the price of buying it on the ship. It is still worth it if you're doing the Grande's and Ventis but the pricing was a lot closer because they double punch it.

Is the Starbucks coffee included with your coffee package? Love the videos!

It was mostly blue ocean as the camera faces the front of the ship and looks at the water. It was still enjoyable to have.
I'm considering getting the coffee card. In your opinion is it worth it considering the restrictions and double punches? Thanks!!
We thought it was worth it if you get Talls because it's about half the price of buying it on the ship. It is still worth it if you're doing the Grande's and Ventis but the pricing was a lot closer because they double punch it.
Is the pizzeria complimentary?
Yes, Sorrento's pizza was complimentary.
