Thanks for all the info

I had a great time, the ship was kept immaculate, we enjoyed the food, drinks and entertainment. We saw Mendenhall Glacier and actually used public transport. I'm from England originally so it was second nature to me. Its a pretty long walk to and fro the bus stop though so might not be good for everyone but also a great option to anyone on a budget. I highly recommend Chilkoot Charters for the Yukon Pass excursion! Train ride up and into Canada, bus ride back. Our driver was amazing, she stopped at many scenic spots for pictures and lunch is also provided. Ketchikan we went to the totem place, that was okay, then we walked around town. You don't get much time in Canada, it's a pretty long walk from the dock to the town so I'd recommend a taxi if you want to spend more time there​, its a hopping place, tons of people and shops etc, the Palace is neat, all lit up at night. Hope that helps! Also, fyi plan on retuning with Covid! Everyone I've met that went on an Alaskan cruise came back with it, that was the only souvenir I wish I hadn't picked up!! Lol @meenalpa

You two are so down to earth, loved your video and your helpful hints. You talked about footwear, what about socks did you need to buy wool socks too? We are going next May so not sure how cold it could be still then. Thanks for your video!

The Local?! If that is the same as the one in Lake Union area in Seattle, then, yes, that place is great )) we are going on an Alaska cruise soon as well )

Thank you for sharing your experiences. We are booked on NCL for late September and your videos were great.

Did u see any souvenir stainless steel coffee mugs on the ship?

Great video, what month was your cruise.

So sad how much Mendenhall has shrunk since 2011 my first Alaska cruise

Thank you for the tips. Going first week of September, hope it is not always raining and super cold.

We went on this cruise July 2023 and we are scheduled to go again Aug 2024, same ship same itinerary. Loved it that much! It is so worth it!!!!!

Hi we’re going to Alaska on Encore next may. We booked a club balcony cabin but can you recommend a good deck location? I believe we have the choice of deck 12,13, or 14.

What about using a travel sim card that should work for mobile internet shouldnt it?

Would you recommend your hotel as good walking distance for Pike Place & the space needle? Also, did you consider a city pass instead of buying tickets for each venue? We sail on the Encore to Alaska in 2025!

Walk a short distance from ship to railroad depot and buy your ticket . You’ll save big bucks. I got last minute ticket for $96. NCL now charging $199, which is robbery.

Juneau. Not Juno.

Thanks for this video! I subscribed! I see it's been a while since you posted; please make more videos. You two are exactly what so many people want when looking for information about a cruise or travel! :) Honest, experienced, and informative!

You all are interesting - and the first people who have actually mentioned a good strength for the binoculars! So Thank you!

Great video! Watched this 3 times!😊

Im going in July.

Going in 2025 to Alaska! Yay.....TY

Which side of the train had better views?

Be helpful to add links to all of what you are recommending or showing

New subscriber here! We are cruising to Alaska in September. Thanks for the packing tips!!

For Encore ,upgrades are available to Haven class,is it worth spending more to avoid the crowds?Or is the crowds in restaurants manageble

They are stone loungers that heat up

So you can’t book the comedy or the shows on the NCL app? You have to physically walk to the cavern club and where is the cavern club? Do you know what deck or area it is?

Thanks for all your tips. What time is the Beatles Show as I am trying to figure out times for dinner tia

Do you mind sharing what month you cruised in?

Great video! We are traveling in July to Alaska and this video is really good. Plus, the hosts are great!

Good info thanks going in May❤

Hey Guys Good day to you. Just wanted to say Thanks for your awesome video. We have neen on the fence about going to cruise in Alaska. I think after watching your video we are leaning towards going!! Anyway, we will be watching your other Alaska videos.. Thanks for the Great Info. Cheers 🍺🥃🍺

So, seven miles from the city, too far to walk to. Did you book the shuttle for an excursion you took? Or does cruise line automatically take everyone in that far?

You two are the sweetest! Thank you for your videos, they were informative! I’m from Central PA as well but live in Florida for the last 25 years. My sister and I are cruising to Alaska from Seattle in May this year!

You were on a ship, not a boat!😂😂😂

We always take a bag that zips into the pocket. Small in your baggage and ready to use for your return flight full of goodies or laundry.

Hi, can you tell me if it was pretty quick to get off the ship in each step ? thanks

Great video, thank you!!! Looking forward to the BBQ.

Did you purchase train ticket through cruise or on your own?

Great video and love the tips (esp where to sit on the Yukon trail), thank you! What time of the month did you sail (I missed that if it was mentioned)? We are considering either Encore or Discovery Princess. Itineraries are identical but we have 3 teens, so leaning on Encore for more age appropriate entertainment for them. Your review is very helpful, thanks again

Hi thank you for your video, VERY HELPFULL! My husband and I are planning a cruise on May, Neither of us drinks a lot of a alcohol but we love coffe and hot tea. What do you recommend on beverage package?

Thanks for sharing your advice. Going to Alaska on NCL Encore in August 25.

Thanks for sharing all the details. Which month did you go? We will sail in early May (going NJ to Seattle) for Encore and wondering if it would be very cold? And would May be already crowded although we chose off-season to beat the crowd. Also, how bad was disembarkation? We had very bad experience in other NCL during disembarkation. And from Seattle, we will have to catch the flight back home

I’m going in August what would you pack ?

Great information...we are going in May to Alaska on the Encore. Your videos are so helpful. I have watched several of your videos multiple times.

I may have missed it, but what time of year did you travel to Alaska? We are going late October.

Ms L, Can you link which waterproof pants you wore? Thanks

Great video! I’m planning my first trip to Alaska in September and your list was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

I love you guys! Thanks so much for the great information!!! ❤️
