I’ve had a few suggest that I should try them. That one of your favorites?

I’ve debated on checking them out since several have recommended it.

It’s been a while, but I’ve been there a few times.

Definitely on my list of places to try

@@destinationdebrief same owners as Tascio

Now that you mention it, I remember someone mentioning that. Need to try it soon since I love Pizza Tascio.

@@destinationdebrief The Brussels Pizza is my favorite. Highly recommend ✌️

With the best team!

Really? That sucks. I was there a few weeks back and they had moved the front desk, but the secret door was still there. I’ll have to go back and see what they’ve done.

It’s funny you say that. I have another video with Chef J and Harp lol. Wolfepack I haven’t been to yet, but it’s on my list.

I’ve debated on checking them out since several have recommended it.

Really? I might check into that.

I've added to my list!

Footsal??? 😁

@destinationdebrief oops I meant Futsal

@@Storm_trooper154 I had to look up what that is. Now that I’m reading it, it does seem similar, but since there are walls here, would it apply? It says Futsal doesn’t use walls? I’m genuinely curious now.

​@@destinationdebrief wait that uses walls ok you may be right I didn't see it enough I guess this is slightly different cause Futsal has out of bounds

​@@destinationdebriefalright done some research I'm dumb not Futsal I edited the comment also great video loved it

Did you get to see them in Municipal?

If it wasn’t clear with my excitement saying “hockey” lol, I LOVE going to Mavericks games and had a blast at the Comets too. I think you’ll have a great time.

I figured some people would lol. People say about the Chiefs what used to be said about the Patriots a few years ago.

YEESSSS!!!!!

Yep. Two of the many former KC teams such as the Kansas City Scouts.

You’re absolutely right, but this video was strictly about the onboard activities. We have some future episodes covering some of the ports that we loved.

I used to like them, but the last few times I’ve been there haven’t been very good. I actually recorded there for this video and then trashed the footage because the pizza wasn’t that great.

That’s a very good point. I called out to do it if you can, which I meant to mean if you’re allowed, but I’ve not looked into it since I’m not taking another cruise any time soon.

I enjoy it!

Since we didn’t take an excursion at this port or go over to Hoonah, our experience was less exciting. I’m glad to hear your time was better though. I do admit that I liked standing on the beach. It was a lovely view. We did enjoy the other ports we visited though. What were some others you and your wife visited? Any other excursions you’d recommend?

We didn't walk to Hoonah as we honestly didn't know about it at the time, but leaving Icy Straight Point to go to another town isn't really something to do in Icy Straight Point. As for the zipline, that was a paid excursion if I recall that I believe requires you to go to Hoonah. So, I guess the moral of the story is anyone at Icy Straight Point should really just go to Hoonah lol.

Or do your research before going to the port.

Would more research have changed what is available at Icy Straight Point? I’m assuming no, but I certainly appreciate the feedback.

I actually had BRGR years ago and was not that impressed. However, I don't believe it was the steakhouse burger that I ordered. So, it's possible that what I ordered was the issue?

@ yep, the steakhouse burger is above and beyond their others. Wagyu beef, garlic and thyme mushrooms, arugula, aioli, etc

@@mkc1rrc That might be worth me giving BRGR a second chance.

I did hear someone mention Hoonah, but you're right that I didn't realize it was that close. Where were you with that information while we were there? haha, j/k. Looking now, I see it's a 1.5 mile walk. However, if there isn't much to do there as you say, it might still seem like a wasted stop to me. I agree that the beauty of Alaska is almost everywhere in that state, so the views of the walk to Hoonah might have made the stop a bit more worth the time. Stay tuned though as there are other stops we made on our cruise that we found much more enjoyable.

Also walked to Hoonah and back again. Agree with you entirely, a beautiful walk along the coastline. Had a coffee there and visited the local supermarket. It's a real little town, with real locals. And much wildlife there, impressed by the bald eagles in their natural environment.

I totally agree. Having taken the Alaskan cruise, I wouldn’t ever do it again. Alaska is beautiful, but you don’t really see it at these ports.

I’ve always enjoyed them.

@@destinationdebrief me and my wife live out of state and when we travel a few time a year to Kansas City we always want bbq when we get there but it’s late so we found this place and it’s 24 hours .

Providence is absolutely on my list to try. I’ll have to look into Grimaldi’s. Thanks for the recommendations!

@@destinationdebriefto make video about the best pizza in KC and to not include the actual best pizza in town, especially their Detroit, is wild 😂 I’ve been to all the places you list and while they are decent, Tascio being the best, they don’t hold a candle to Providence. Also, Il Lazzarone was started by the Pizza Tascio founder, and it’s more Neapolitan, and I prefer it to pizza Tascio as well.

It’s like Pokémon. Gotta try them all.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the merits of a tomato lol.

What is your favorite?

Thanks so much! I appreciate it.

I think that is part of my issue with a lot of cruise lines. I look at value for money, but you don’t seem to get near as much value for your money on a cruise vs paying for food and a stay outright somewhere else. I also don’t view the things on the boat as free as much as should be included in the thousands spent to be there. If I still have to pay for everything to do on the boat, what did I really get for the thousands of dollars already spent?

You’re absolutely welcome! Be sure to let us know what you think of it after you visit.

Very true. Their hours didn’t work for me at the time though. But good call out!

Haven’t had LCs or Big Ts, but I do enjoy the others!

Fluffy Fresh is definitely good. I haven’t had Mr. D’s yet though.

Totally agree. I included Town Topic in my Best Burgers in KC video.

@@destinationdebrief subscribed then lol Good taste!

@@jamesr5719 Thanks!

We didn’t really see much wildlife from the ship that was close enough to get a great view. There were several whales spotted, but they were pretty far out. Great views of the mountains and trees though.

We’ll show more of it in an upcoming episode.
