    Thank you all so much for the support and love throughout this cruise series! We will film a trip recap video for next week and if you have any questions that I didn't answer yet feel free to leave me a comment and I will try my best to get it answered during that Q&A video. See you in the next one!

      Hope you enjoyed BC. The east coast of Canada is also a great destination. Something to look into for the future?

      Dev I am looking for a Disney from item that has been retired, can you help me, with a replacement.

      I also hope one day you and Biana go take a Royal Caribbean cruise to Bermuda and explore the the island. I took my daughter Sabrina, sister Sheryl and my dad there after my mom died. And a year later my dad wanted to go back because he enjoyed it so much. It was a smaller ship out of NYC 7 days, but you can get something out of Florida.

    As a Canadian I highly recommend a whale watching tour, they are excellent at what they do and will definitely see whales.

    Definitely go back to see Victoria and Vancouver. So much to see. The gardens are beautiful! There is a nod to those gardens in Epcot’s Canada Pavilion.

    Thank Dev! I have been following you for a while now, and this Alaska cruise series was the best yet. You made the trip look so fun that I ended up booking the same trip on the Quantum of the Seas for July 2024. It's my first cruise, and will be a great way to celebrate my 40th birthday. We booked a Sky Loft suite since we will be traveling with children, it should give us plenty of space to spread out, plus sky suite perks, like priority disembarkation at all ports. I appreciate you guys taking the time on your vacations to show us your experiences. You and Bianca are a really great couple and seem so fun. I can't wait for more of this content from you. Keep it up. Thanks!

    I think this Alaska Cruise series was my favourite of your videos so far! Thanks for doing these videos. I’m Canadian living on the mainland in Vancouver. I’m glad your first Canadian visit was a good one, despite it being so short. You should explore the Maritimes (east coast of Canada). It so picturesque there.

  • @rj4356
    @rj4356 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    So glad you two had an awesome time! For your next Alaska cruise, try Princess or Holland America! You'll definitely get an up close & personal look at the Glaciers. Luckily, you did not experience the poor air quality in Canada right now. If you're into fishing & more nature oriented, take a cruisetour! Fishing in Kenai River was absolutely amazing, & seeing bears nearby bask in salmon fishing is incredible! 🥰

    Really enjoyed watching your Alaska videos, thank you for bringing us along the journey. Definitely going to do one of these trips over the next couple of years.
    Love how your content differs from the usual vloggers doing the same thing going to Disney every single day. It’s refreshing to watch something completely different.

    Welcome to Victoria 😀 Marble slab creamery was a good choice for ice cream 🍨 Hope you can come back and spend a few days sometime in future. We just did our first Alaska cruise out of Vancouver on Ruby Princess in mid July and had very good weather. We loved our cruising day in Glacier Bay National Park day which we highly recommend you try to get on your next Alaska cruise. Princess and Holland America have been cruising Alaska for a long time and more often able to add Glacier Bay in their itineraries. All the best!

  • @terrorbulyfe
    @terrorbulyfe ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve said it last weeks comment, but you really need to check out Glacier Bay, the White Pass railroad tour in Skagway. Or even a cruise tour that starts on a ship, then a train ride through Denali, then ends at a few days stay at a lodge. But Glacier Bay…❤❤❤

    We took an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago and absolutely LOVED it. We went Princess with the land/sea option. Left from Vancouver and when we got to Whittier (Anchorage) departed on the railway into Denali NP for 4 days. No doubt in my mind I would do this again. The land portion was even more amazing than the cruise... Definitely try that next time!

    Laughing because I was on the Solstice which was the ship next to yours. I saw the same orcas from our ship! We did go on the Zodiac whale watching tour. It was awesome! Saw a mom and baby humpback too on the tour. You should try the Zodiac is you ever get a chance. We did the same itinerary as you too. Weather not so great but some beautiful 🌅 sunsets

    Did Ovation last Aug in Alaska. We had sun everyday and lived in t shirts. Lol we took a lot of cold clothes and used hardly any of them..oh well. They did say it was the first cruise with that much sun. Can't wait to go back on a smaller ship next time for the same reasons as yours...just to crowded.

    When you sail from Vancouver they usually take the Georgia Straight so your sheltered by Vancouver Island on one side the the BC mainland on the other. Maybe your next Visit try leaving from Vancouver, But give yourself a few days to visit Vancouver. Ships from Seattle have to port in a Canadian Port even if its only for 1 hour.

  • @anitagraham25

    Don't forget the later in the year you pick the less ice in the sea and less snow on the mountains. I can really recommend Seabourne. Such a beautiful small ship experience and on their 14 day cruise every other day is cruising.

    You mentioned about checking out another cruise line in your video. We just returned from Alaska this past June on the Norwegian Bliss and the biggest complaint I had with them was our short port times. Just keep that under consideration when you plan on checking around for other cruise lines. Besides that, really enjoy watching your videos.

And Coffee Crisp candy bars are the best!

    We did an Alaskan cruise inAugust. The weather may have been a little better than you had, but it was still cold, foggy and rainy. The one difference that stands out was the salmon we’re running in every stream that we came across. Too bad you couldn’t do Skagway and Klondike Gold Rush National Park….you’ll just have to go back!!! Great video series Dev!!!

  • @noraw8955

  • @frankpercival
    @frankpercival ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for sharing. Victoria is about 3 hours by ferry from Seattle where I am, and the best sightseeing area is around Parliament Building just off the port. Your day 6 seasick experience is common as you were crossing the Strait of Wanda Fuka which is between Seattle and Canada. It is always a rough sailing.
    Royal Caribbean doesn’t seem to have the greatest reputation. Disney though very expensive offers excellence and superb dining.

  • @ablueblood100
    @ablueblood100 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for sharing your Alaskan cruise with us. I would look into a repositioning cruise to from the US to Victoria BC or Vancouver then either take the cruise to Alaska or flyback from Canada or cross the border to Seattle and fly back.

    Were on the QOTS last september on the same cruise. Started in Seattle, after a long flight from Germany, it was extremely hot there!
    On our cruise we had just the same weather as you in Alaska. But, as my son says, it wouldnt have been right having sunshine whole day! However we had a great time and enjoyed every day exploring Alaska. Memories came back watching your video! We loved Victoria, the sun came out again!

  • @markconrad5901

    Dev, I enjoyed your vids. We just got back from the same cruise. Both me and my wife came home sick. We tested for Covid and were positive. It wasn’t too bad but there were a lot of sick folks on the ship.

  • @luciewoods273
    @luciewoods273 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would recommend Holland America. Older crowd but the food is great. Also, they have smaller ships. I haven’t cruised post COVID but they have always been great
