The best time to cruise is when school is in. It’s less crowded and less kids. Pre Covid when our kids were all younger we would take two cruises a year. One with kids and one without. It was wonderful. We have amazing memories. Two of of three kids are adults now and so the way we cruise has changed. Enjoy the time with your kids.
‘I want $500!’ Way to teach Jamesy young! She’s going to go far in life! I’ve only ever been on RC cruises and I’ve always loved them! This ship is my next big goal in life and now I’m even more excited to make it happen after seeing this!
Alaska is my favorite state! I lived in Anchorage for 5 years in the early 1970’s. You could drive 15 minutes out of town and be in places you’d swear no one had ever been there before. Beautiful place to live!
As a travel agent….please get passports! If you ever are on a cruise that goes to other countries and u miss the ship or get sick/hurt there. The passport will be extremely helpful to get back home or to a different port to meet up with your cruise ship. Glad y’all had an amazing time! I will be on the Disney wonder for 8 days on an Alaskan cruise in September. 😊
@@Tbaby9361 As far as I know for Alaskan cruises out of Seattle you should be fine with just birth certificates. However, each cruise line has their own set of rules regarding passports. So I would definitely check with whatever cruise line you’re sailing with.
We're going on a Disney cruise to Alaska, out of Vancouver in June...do you know if we'll be okay using a birth certificate for a 2-year-old? I just think it sounds crazy to get a passport for such a young child, but EVERY article I read says something different. Update: I found out he definitely needed a passport, so we did an expedited one thinking it could take 4-6wks & it literally came in a week & a half. I'm very happy we got it taken care of in plenty of time. Whew!
Love you guys! Y'all are great parents and the vlogs are so wonderful. I love seeing the kids grow and become more and more independent. I only wish you'd vlog more often like you used to.
I’m so glad you had a good experience while visiting my hometown of Sitka on your cruise. I grew up here and I’ve lived here many years. I’ve always thought it is the most beautiful place in the world.
Alaska cruises are the best - I call them my Luxury Cottage on The Lake vacations - balcony door is open the whole time, no bugs, and all the water sports, adventures and fantastic food! 😂💜 As always, thanks for sharing Dashleys!! 💜💜
You guys look like you had a wonderful time. We went in early June last year, it rained the entire time and was our worst cruise to date. My 2 and 3 year got sick. I hope we can go back again one day when they are older and told to go in July or August. It was $10k down the drain by the time we paid for airfare, balcony cabin and cancelled excursions. We love RC but it was a learning lesson for sure.
Great video ! I like the specific info comparing Disney kids club and RC kids club . As a mom we do notice when kids like structure or free play - and this is useful to know !!!
I was born and raised in Sitka and you guys were very lucky, It’s normally raining. we don’t get a lot of snow in southeast Alaska but the further north you get the more snow and the colder it is.
Aww I miss the Quantum of the Seas. I went on it to from the Port of Brisbane Queensland Australia to the South Pacific Islands for 9 days. It was bliss! The staff were amazing, especially the dining staff.
Just got off NCL Encore a couple of weeks ago. I know what you mean about videos and pictures. There is absolutely no way you can capture what you see. I am already planning another on. No words. Loved it!
This was so helpful. We have a 6 year old and twin 4 year olds and just did our first Disney Cruise (The Wish). I feel exactly the same as you guys. We found ourselves saying why did we even come too, because it's really hard yet still so fun and worth it. That was very well put. We didn't feel guilty leaving them at the kids club either. We are now planning the RC Alaska cruise on Quantum.
My favorite thing I’ve heard is to not call it a vacation and instead a family trip since traveling with kids is work and I love that perspective. Also not sure if you’ve heard of the bumkins smock for violet similar to a bib but long sleeve and goes over clothes and they have it in Disney! We take it everywhere for our 18 month old.
Alaska was our 1st cruise and we decided it is our last....Loved it So Much and Nothing will be able to top it!... You are right, video doesn't do it justice!...Glad you Enjoyed!
Like you Ashley, I loved my Alaska cruise and want to go back. I have not been on any warmer cruises but it is something about Alaska that makes you want to come back.
if you do your excursion with the cruise ship its down to them to get you back on time for Saling if you book independently its down to you to be back on time all on the insurance I've done disney kids club and they had loads of planned activities I think it depends on the session or ship but your right they are both fab xx
I took a train from NC to Seattle to cruise to Alaska. Stayed in Seattle for three days before the cruise. The cruise coming back from the excursion before mine hit an iceberg! My cruise was cancelled. I paid all that money on Amtrak just to get to Seattle and loose my cruise. I will try again next summer.
We are going next year and trying to decide between this ship and Ovation !! They both look very similar, one might have bumper cars ! We are going with four adults and four kids all under age 11.
Friends of mine recently came back from an Alaskan Cruise. I wonder if they were on your cruise. I keep watching the people in the background for them. 😂
When I lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland we had a nesting pair of Bald Eagles in one of our trees by the dock. They are amazing birds. I have the I’m Smiling shirt from the Raptor Center I bought it directly from their online store. 🙂🌈🐈🐈⬛💖
Stumbled into your channel while researching Alaska cruises. You mentioned you didn't have passports and said that wasn't a problem....right? My wife always thought you needed one cause u go through Canada and I always told her "I don't think you need one". We are planning to fly to Seattle and take the Alaska cruise. Thanks
Drove to Alaska on a camper van. The cruise ships destroyed the small waterfront towns. Except for the tee shirt and jewelry store owners that swept in the locals say get out of here
Pizza looked delicious . I also have a pizza stone and was so happy when you said put the pan right on top to cook . I cooked mine right on stone no pan , so I'm assuming I am wrong and happy to finally know how to cook on pizza stone . Lol, 😂, true story , don't tell me that your not sure if it right or not . Lol

One of the biggest and most important reasons to bring your kids on a cruise, or any vacation for that matter, is making lasting memories.♥️
The commentary and the editing for this vlog is 25/10!!

When you said you guys are basically alaskan, I am alaskan.. and that made me laugh. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Much love ❤

Is a passport necessary for an Alaska cruise if u are cruising out of Seattle and you are a US citizen? passports have a huge wait time right now

James hair is so beautiful with all the clips. Have an absolutely marvelous Cruise. Sending the good weather winds to Alaska.

I am glad you are real- call them what you may. I think you had a good time and beat the heat! 💕
How awesome! I always tell everyone you should visit Alaska at least twice in your life, once in the winter and once in the summer!

This was a great video even though my kids are older. Great info for younger families. Love you guys
OMG! You went right by my city! Campbell River! We love seeing the ships! 🦀🐋🐬🇨🇦
Love Dalin, “I had 0 guilt, get outta here!” You guys are too cute 😂
Funny 😊😊
I agree
George saying don’t let Violet trip is absolute big brother goals ♥️
The smaller ships are definitely less crowded, with still the same amenities, like the kids club. Alaska is beautiful!!! Good for you for going.
So happy you guys had a awesome time❤❤
I'm glad you had a great time. George and James will cherish the memories. Don't know if Violet will remember but you have video and pictures 😊
On my bucket list for sure… I have never been on a cruise and always wanted to. Alaska cruise for sure!
Your making some amazing memories with your kids! That in its self is priceless! 🤎
Yes Ashley Alaska is special!!! ❤
Aww I miss the Quantum of the Seas. I went on it to from the Port of Brisbane Queensland Australia to the South Pacific Islands for 9 days. It was bliss! The staff were amazing, especially the dining staff.
The whale watching in Juneau is something you should try next time.
Just got off NCL Encore a couple of weeks ago. I know what you mean about videos and pictures. There is absolutely no way you can capture what you see. I am already planning another on. No words. Loved it!
I love the voiceover! You’re way too funny Dalin

“Lumberyard and jackey “….. you are flipping KILLING me with this!! 😂
Like you Ashley, I loved my Alaska cruise and want to go back. I have not been on any warmer cruises but it is something about Alaska that makes you want to come back.
Cruise looked like a lot of fun and beautiful sites. I’ve always wanted to go on the Alaskan cruise. Love the fam. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My husband and I were on an Alaskan cruise the end of April. We were on the NCL, Bliss. It was cold, rainy, and snowy.
if you do your excursion with the cruise ship its down to them to get you back on time for Saling if you book independently its down to you to be back on time all on the insurance
I've done disney kids club and they had loads of planned activities I think it depends on the session or ship but your right they are both fab xx
I lived in Sitka for a few years, it's absolutely gorgeous and a great place for kids to grow up!
Sommers in Alaska, Violett vlogs, this Alaska life and many others are great channels.
Feels like I just watched the same episode with Sheena Melwani's family but they took the Princess ship!! So awesome! Glad you had a good time!
My husbands family is from Ketchikan!!😢❤ I’m so glad you all got to see it!
I love Dalin’s old man commentary.
Born in Alaska with moose in the back yard
Alaska and Hawaii are the most beautiful states to me
Thank you for sharing
Yup us older folks take longer to get ready , be glad they are still with you .
Loved your video 😊 Just booked another cruise, this time on the Quantum. May I ask what deck you stayed on.?
Taking the stairs on a cruise ship like that? Madness! :D
No passports. Did you get off the ship in Canada? Dallin has been to Whistler - confused.
I took a train from NC to Seattle to cruise to Alaska. Stayed in Seattle for three days before the cruise. The cruise coming back from the excursion before mine hit an iceberg! My cruise was cancelled.
I paid all that money on Amtrak just to get to Seattle and loose my cruise. I will try again next summer.
I went to Sitca when I went to Alaska also on a Royal Caribbean cruise and it was the best.
So much fun! The sweetest family 💕
You are so kind
Summer in SE AK was unusually sunny & warm. Tourists are lucky! P.S. - the best place to see eagles and bears are the landfills 👍🏼
We are going next year and trying to decide between this ship and Ovation !! They both look very similar, one might have bumper cars ! We are going with four adults and four kids all under age 11.
I notice this video was posted two months ago but i didn't notice if you said when you went. Would you let me know please? 😊
Disposable bibs are the best for cruising (and any vacation without laundry)!
Commented a few times, and i’m disappointed I wish you would have walked around Juneau more. That’s where I was born!! ❤
I went on this exact cruise last summer and it was so fun!!!!
Friends of mine recently came back from an Alaskan Cruise. I wonder if they were on your cruise. I keep watching the people in the background for them. 😂
A Cruse to Alaska is always worth it. Especially on Royal Caribbean great Cruse line.
We are cruising to Alaska next July. You guys had great weather.
Awesome ❤🎉 the bingo voice-over😂😂😂
Cruising is Always worth it… best vacation EVER!!! I’d do it more than once a year if I could find someone to go with !!!
Next time you should visit the Somers family in North Pole Alaska.
Do you watch their TH-cam channel Somers in Alaska?
When I lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland we had a nesting pair of Bald Eagles in one of our trees by the dock. They are amazing birds. I have the I’m Smiling shirt from the Raptor Center I bought it directly from their online store. 🙂🌈🐈🐈⬛💖
I'm taking 5 kids in June...I'm also bringing my mom and we are hoping for the best!
This video was adorable guys really fun .❤
Can you please tell me the dates you went as the weather looks great!
I live in sitka alaska and I would have liked if I would have seen you guys when you were there.
Omg you were on the same cruise as the other TH-camr I watch @SarahRaeVlogs how fun. Definitely on my bucket lists to go.
Stumbled into your channel while researching Alaska cruises.
You mentioned you didn't have passports and said that wasn't a problem....right?
My wife always thought you needed one cause u go through Canada and I always told her "I don't think you need one".
We are planning to fly to Seattle and take the Alaska cruise.
Thanks
That checkin lady does us every time😊 she so nice.
Juneau: that isn't the main town. Its a few miles to the left.
You should try the Disney cruise ship. The kids will love it.
What an amazing trip 🙏 love you guys 😁❤️🌴✨
This is my first time watching your channel. You guys are hilarious! I just had surgery & trying not to laugh is tough.
You Book of Mormon musical jokes always get me 😂
Taking this cruise in 2 weeks with our 7 month old!
Y’all are freakin hilarious in like 1000 ways 😂😂😂
An Alaskan cruise is on my bucket list!! Looks like you guys had a great time!
What dates did y’all go? We cruise on the ovation of the seas 9/8.
Vacationing anywhere with little ones is definitely kind of difficult. But you will look back on it one day and miss it. We do 😏
Y'all are making me miss Alaska and my friends there 😢
Looks like Heaven!!❤❤
So was it worth it for them or not really since they did not do a whole lot to experience it fully . But that is a big ship .
I’d say it was right on the edge of being worth it haha. We had fun.
we are going on an 11 day in October... just my husbadn and I..Norwegian Cruise Lines
I just love James’ hairdos
Drove to Alaska on a camper van. The cruise ships destroyed the small waterfront towns. Except for the tee shirt and jewelry store owners that swept in the locals say get out of here
My husband & myself have never been on a cruise. My husband has claustrophobia, so I don’t think he would do well.
Awesome video and thanks for the information
Love the narrator voice! ❤️
Pizza looked delicious .
I also have a pizza stone and was so happy when you said put the pan right on top to cook . I cooked mine right on stone no pan , so I'm assuming I am wrong and happy to finally know how to cook on pizza stone . Lol, 😂, true story , don't tell me that your not sure if it right or not . Lol
Hey 👋 The Dashlyes family 😂 I watch your videos first time 😊❤
Welcome!!
My daughter is in Seattle to watch the Seahawks play .
Most kids are usually in schoolby now. When do you intend to start home school.
We’re always homeschooling
LOL George parenting hall “don’t let her trip” 😂
Wow !! So much fun ❤
We live here in Washington state. Have fun.
We’re taking an 16 month old and 4 year old next year. I’ve been looking forward to watching this video. How does daycare work for the little one?
0-2 costs $6 an hour, 3 and older clubs are free. Club is open from 9-12, 2-5, and 7-10. Drop them off anytime!
0-2 requires a reservation
Thank you! Been watching you guys for a while! Love the vids!
Haha Pels has the best dumplings! Definitely a good choice for a juneau day
Thanks for the video, I liked the overdub voice. 🤣
Alaska is majestic ❤❤❤❤
