    Love love loving your videos. Feels like I am right there with you. I will continue to live vicariously through you until my next cruise on the Splendor later this month. Dee's Alaska outfit video was so helpful. Glad to see someone likes taking pictures of their food as much as I do. Jay's quirky comments about everything are such a HOOT! It's like he is looking out through the eyes of a child and just says the first thing that comes to his mind. Keep it up! Hope to meet the two of you one day.

    It was nice meeting you two on the cruise. One day I was just searching youtube looking at cruise videos, I think about two months ago and came across your channel. So funny to meet you in person on the Spirit. My husband and I went on our first cruise on the Spirit back in 2004 and then we took a 10 year break from cruising. We started again in 2014 and have not stopped since. You guys are so nice in person just like on your channel. Thank you for taking a picture with me. Happy cruising!!

    Took the Spirit to AK in 2006. The captain said it was his last sailing as he was retiring (after getting married to his Polynesian bride). Said he would make the trip worth while as he was taking us closer to the glaciers than he had ever gone. Thought it was part of the schtick but when we got there all the crew came running out to take pictures so maybe it was as he said. Oh, and took another Carnival cruise in 2009 to celebrate daughters graduation, hearing ship announcement it was the same captain. Apparently his marriage didn't work out and came back to work.

    First of all, thank you for letting us enjoy your Alaska cruise, I look forward to the rest of your adventure. I'm leaving Seattle on September 12 on a cruise with the Norwegian Spirit. Now my question is, do you maybe know if there is a possibility to have a covid test taken in the cruise port itself. Otherwise I'll have to find a other place where I can have this done, because we'll be in Seattle as of September 9th and the test should not be older than 48 hours. Hoping for an answer, greetings from Belgium.
