I just got off the prima on Saturday. Went to Bermuda for the second time. I am considering going to Alaska in May as it is off-season and much cheaper although I know it will be colder. It will be on the Bliss And will go to Dawes glacier, Juneau, and Ketchikan. As much as I would love a balcony, it’s much cheaper to get a solo cabin. But I am thinking about getting the vibe pass since I got the thermal suite pass for the week on this past cruise and I really didn’t use it to you as a potential for the price I paid
@derekandjonathan22 күн бұрын
Oooh we heard the Prima was amazing!! Definitely recommend vibe for Alaska - they treat you like royalty there and it's the best spot for glacier viewing!! Have fun 😀😀

Did you ever do overnight parking for your rental when docked in Maui and Kauai? If so, care to share the info?
@derekandjonathan22 күн бұрын
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching :) On Maui, we were advised by the ship crew that nearly everyone parks their rental car in the CVS/Longs Pharmacy parking lot directly across from the cruise port. They were right - we easily found a spot near the back of the lot (it will be busy, but spaces were available for us) and we had no issues walking right over to it in the morning and going on our way. The CVS is at 70 E Kaahumanu Ave. On Kauai, we again sought the advice of the crew and were told that literally everyone with a rental car parks it on the street in the neighborhood across from the cruise ship terminal. They were totally right. We parked on the side of Wilcox Rd right near the entrance of Banyan Harbor Resort along with many other people, and we were just fine in the morning. It's a quiet little residential spot very close to the terminal. Hope you have a great cruise, have fun!!

@derekandjonathanАй бұрын
Well to be fair, the cruise was more than 15 seconds long 😂 😂 but you're not wrong - we tend to vacation harder than most and cover a lot of ground. It's definitely possible to make this same cruise more relaxed. Costs vary depending on what type of room you book and when you plan to take the cruise - we suggest checking out ncl.com to get a sense of which booking options might work best for you 😊😊

Great video, gentlemen! How many days did this trip take you? We’re headed there in May, 2025, but starting at the southern end and heading north, for various reasons. You mention different rv parks, so did you overnight then spend a day in an area before moving on? We are planning two full days in the Brookings area, then moving to Yachats to spend two days exploring north to Newport and two days exploring south to Florence. The last two fulls days will be spent near Astoria/Ft. Stevens. Looking forward to following your travels!

Hi there! First off, thanks so much for watching - we so appreciate it :) Your trip sounds amazing - it's almost exactly what we did but in reverse.

Have an amazing trip!!

Hey guys, Just wanted to thank you for all the amazing videos. We first found your KZbin channel after reading your review of Camping on the Gulf on the Campendium site. We were excited to see another gay couple out RV’ing and enjoying beaches, mountains, national parks, and hiking. We’ve followed along since then, and have shared your site with friends. We too got married in 2017, but have actually been together since 1998. When we saw you use your cell phones to talk to one another in the back-up process we felt like idiots for not having thought of that ourselves. We share your love of the National Parks and appreciate how you’ve shared some great tips on places we haven’t been yet. Hope your channel continues to grow. All our best, Mark and Bill - currently from College Station, Texas.
