[@BeginnerDiva]

I just stumbled down upon this video as I prepare for my Alaska cruise for my 60th birthday next year 2023. Solo girl here. I just want to say your documentary is so well done. It makes me want to pack now and its just April 2022.

[@steviealvaalbany2730]

You mean “solo old hag” lol

[@jaylinegeerman1709]

[@dearmepa1]

Good God! You two have got to win an award for this vlog!!! Is there a category for KZbinrs at the Academy Awards? There should be! Winners!

[@pamelawiggins9131]

I think Mama said: Thanks to me.😁 Your Mom, and Dad are the cutest. They are so down to earth.🌸💕🌺 Griff: I'm still in the MSC check in.🤣

[@claudinejones-bourne]

Wow! This must have been great for me to watch for 2 hours. I think I've finally decided on my Alaskan cruise. Thank you. I can finally do something productive.

[@katcarmike2265]

Thanks for the video! Great info for those of us who've never been, but will. I really appreciate all the effort that went into making this documentary!

[@jeanmcswain6814]

Getting ready to go to Alaska on the Encore on Sat. I have enjoyed watching your videos. Looking forward to all that food and fun. Thanks Jean

[@beachedntexas9281]

When I opened I thought it was 2 minutes .. then I realized it was 2 hours!!🙌🏼.. got a sick pup she and I are laying around watching .. awesome job thanks!!

[@KevinTraceyGarrison]

Thank you Alyssa & Griff! Your blog is the most informative AND entertaining of any that Iwe've watched. (We've watched a lot). Great job! Love you guys and your parents.

[@blairbingley]

thanks for being so down to earth and giving so much info, I have to admit I did not think I would have the attention span to watch such a long vlog but you guys made it so real and interesting thank you all

[@kellijomatthewsbeachbum]

Do you have the airbnb link for where you stayed??

[@brandiharber1968]

I’m going on my first cruise in may 2024, on the NCL Sun. This video has been on of the best I’ve watched to get an idea of what we are going to need and what to expect! Thank you so much!

[@lawrencerheam3656]

Been to Alaska 6 times and watched lots of videos and enjoyed this more than any other. They do have port valet with Holland America as well

[@florenciaolivera6867]

hi! Im taking a cruise with Carnival in July , flying from Argentina. Do you know if they do free covid testing in Seattle for tourists? Tks!

[@yolandaklimasewski2996]

I love your energy together. Alyssa your mom is so cool!!

[@fogsmart]

Wow. I’m watching this instead of Netflix. Thanks for your efforts!

[@christinashepard8787]

Thank you so much for your vlog, at first I thought …hmmm over 2 hr video ?? But it was so informative. And I enjoyed your candid take on everything. So much better than the drab ones showing the same thing, blah blah this is the closet blah blah. I am definitely changing my wardrobe, no one really shows how much it rains or how cold it might be, especially the shoe selection will have to change. Thanks for that. And I didn’t know about all the docking changes.that will make a difference when I choose my shore excursions.

[@ninerjen1]

Just watched this again. I love the narrative Alyssa gives in her fun comic way. Im heading back there this week on my third cruise to Alaska, but I still learn from watching again. Thanks.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

That is awesome!

[@cindycarrington235]

Loved your vlog, so much info which I can use on our cruise to Alaska in June 2024.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Keep-on-ok]

I have Gore-Tex tennis shoes that I purchased specifically for Alaska. We live in Arizona and will take our 4th cruise to Alaska in August 2022. Loving your video.

[@robertt8529]

New subscriber,, this is by far one of the best vlog I've seen. Felt like I was on the trip with you guys.

[@myraflowers7459]

Your documentary was great! You covered so much that we are very excited about our upcoming Alaska cruise with Norwegian in June 2022. We will be visiting some of the same ports and can’t wait. Your information was very helpful in regards to embarkation, COVID testing, it being cold and rainy and suggesting to bring layered clothing as well as rain gear and also information regarding the internet packages. I agree with other post, you were so down to earth and I could relate and did not mind watching the entire documentary. It gives us so much to look forward to. I would like to know if the water was calm from Seattle to Alaska? Again, great documentary!

[@dianawiggins3791]

Planning this cruise for summer 2023. Thanks for so much great info. Happy I found you guys.

[@hollyhock4160]

Enjoyed … have a trip this June and good to see the excursion choices

[@hopeengelmann7864]

Thank you for showing me what I’m going to be doing next June. Looks great ❤

[@karthikeyankr16]

Lovely Video and you speak from the heart. Me , my wife and our twin toddlers just experienced our first cruise with royal Caribbean at Singapore and we had a lovely experience. Looking forward to more such cruise experiences .

[@joannahackett]

Fantastic! I'm cruising on Norwegian Bliss in October and this video is extremely helpful for a Norwegian first timer like me! Thank you!

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ShaShayJohnson]

Great Job I have been thinking about taking this cruise to Alaska & you have helped me to make up my mind...YES!!! THANK YOU😀

[@altheaburns8037]

I truly enjoyed your vlog! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you all had a marvelous time.

[@colinhood3763]

Loved this video

[@MEFROMME2012]

I think its awesome you got to do that with your mom and dad loved all the videos of Alaska

[@angielovett4159]

Awesome job! Love all your epic montage shots, SO good! We’ve got a cruise booked on Holland America to Alaska, Aug 31 this year! Now I want snorkel, ha ha! Thank you for sharing the whole thing, it looked awesome.

[@annelynne5398]

I’m so glad I just found your video because me and my friend are going on Alaskan cruise next September 2023 And I honestly cannot wait

[@Mattiajeansaved23]

Thank you guys for this long cruise clog it was very enjoyable to watch

[@christiwin1]

You and your family are absolutely delightful. I would love to meet your mom and dad! Actually all of you! We live in Southwest Florida and we will be sailing to Alaska in June. I think it would be a lot more fun if the four of you were with us. Thanks for all the tips!

[@sherrimcconnell936]

Third time watching this!! I saw the series prior to this documentary. One of my favorites. My first intro to the sweet Momma Donna!! I am heading to Alaska in 327 days. Lol. I am snorkeling in Ketchikan. 😅

[@VlaskampNole]

This is very well done! My wife and I just booked the Encore for the last week of June/ first week of July in 2022 and we couldn’t be more excited!

[@patriciathompson2189]

Are there any hotels near the port in Seattle that you would recommend.

[@kathyklump8616]

We did a similar thing with our luggage from Holland America comingback from a Caribbean cruise. It was awesome!

[@hazelmckay5510]

If you have no outer water proof shoes t o keep your feet dry use a disposable shower cap inside your shoes. Put on you sox the thicker the better and then put your foot into a shower cap or a plastic bag. Then put your foot into your shoes. (Trim the excess length off the plastic bag if it is too long) so your shoes may be wet but your feet will be dry and warmer than wet sox feet.

[@dylanseaman5163]

THX guys. I learned new things about AK. been goon for about four years. the new cruise terminals are interesting

[@Keep-on-ok]

That shuttle to town from a port that is 7 miles from town is a nightmare. Next time cruise on HAL, they will also make sure you see the glaciers! HAL has been cruising Alaska for decades!

[@JamesBaker-qx1cx]

I love watching cruise videos. Usually they are 20-30 min in segments. But after I watched this documentary, I’m hooked! Keep this up you guys! Awesome Awesome Job! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Glad you like them!

[@markkramer6616]

I did the Norwegian joy out of Seattle when it first got to the United States in 2019. Agree the food was great the drop slide was fun. Did a white water rafting in front of the glacier in Juneau and down a river also very enjoyable. Love your video.

[@blakefamily92]

We used the Port Valet service on Royal Caribbean June of 2022 and it was wonderful! It was so great to not have to lug a heavy suitcase around.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Nice!

[@mikebedard6960]

Thank you for some great information. We are going in August on Serenade of the Sea. You definitely got a new subscriber here I look forward to seeing more great content. Thank you

[@GriffandAlyssa]

No problem! Here’s everything we did in list format if you need it kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKG6poqXeJ6Aqc0

[@briansoh9881]

I believe the "thing" on your plate of salmon tartare is called caperberry.

[@beccaj7978]

They have cruise match? I cruised once on dcl and I ended up being silver with msc with their match program

[@CarleenMartorana]

We saw that too. Luv’d it❤

[@philadams4321]

Loved the video! Very well done, quite informative. BTW, Alyssa is smokin’

[@Maryamsjoyfullife]

Great vlog. Thanks for sharing

[@ninerjen1]

Finally watched this. I was thoroughly engrossed in it and laughed so much. Alyssa, you are hysterical. Just sayin. I am going to Alaska again in August this year 2022. The tram I want to do and the snorkeling looked so fun. Thanks for such a fun tour. It helped me to remember what to do.

[@Keep-on-ok]

The fish in the carpet to signal forward or back of the ship is very helpful.

[@reneeblack2783]

Going on our first Alaska cruise 🚢 this June! Previous two were canceled due to COVID. Can’t wait! Enjoyed your blog😊

[@karendean1244]

LOVE this video!. Thank you for such a in depth video. One question...where did you get that beautiful hat you wore in Juneau? :)

[@pidell214]

Great video. Princess Cruises also uses the Seattle luggage valet. I believe it's for all cruises out of Seattle that offers it. Awesome little perk, for those have time or want to explore prior to their flight departure.

[@PiaC67]

Hi Great KZbin. We traveled on that ship for Christmas ( not Alaska) BEAUTIFUL SHIP. To my question we’re going on a Alaskan cruise in June can you tell me when you all went ? And the jacket in your store was it warm enough? FLORIDA/Island girl. Thank you

[@GriffandAlyssa]

August =] , it was a little too snug at times.

[@AlwaysBeVacationing]

Your videos are why we are here. AWESOME job! Inspiring!

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@travelingon7458]

Going on Encore 12/18 and this is one of your best vlogs!

[@tennesseegail3719]

Loved this video . We are sailing on the Encore next October. Question: was your cabin on the starboard side or Port? I’m thinking starboard. Wondered which side was better on this cruise to see the glaciers and whales? That was a bummer the ship didn’t turn around do you could see the glacier! They made me wonder what dude was best? Thanks for the great video! I can’t edit till my cruise even though I think we’re going to freeze!

[@tamaradimario7458]

Wow.... What a great cruise. Thanks for the amazing video.

[@tinaduncan72]

I've been on three Norwegian cruises and I found the dining very very good. taste was not the main dining room but one of those side ones. The specialty dining was also good the French, Japanese restaurant and Brazilian restaurant was also good worth the extra money for the dining experience.

[@cca4tube]

Did you manage to get a drone on board or is that footage from another source?

[@minnesarah]

I'm going on a RCI glacier cruise in August with my mom & sister so I've been watching all sorts of Alaskan cruise videos, and I really appreciate how detailed this one is. Also, Alyssa looks SO MUCH like my sister! It's kind of uncanny so that's weird but also nice.

[@N1ftyNick]

So have you told NCL what you think of the Ketchican terminal? Seems like they didn't have a good plan to move passengers into town.

[@ljchad]

We had the airline transfer thing on our Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas cruise. It is really convenient, especially the weight consideration. Please keep the videos coming, we really enjoy them.

[@mayurs160]

Can you please tell us which month you went there ??

[@judysmith9552]

loved your video. we are going on the encore the first week in september.same cruise. are there bears around the hiking areas? i have short waterproof duck boots hopefully that will be adequate for the weather.

[@cruisingwithcarrie2677]

I really hope you can share which airbnb this is. I'd sure appreciate it! Thank you! Absolutely loving your channel!

[@chambersstevens3135]

I really like this family. They are a blast to travel with. We are heading on the same cruise in a month. Thanks for all the advice.

[@janajeffsilvernickelladventure]

What a great Documentary. I have been following the vlogs and I love that you put it in a Documentary. We will be on the NCL SPIRIT for 10 days in July for our first Alaska cruise. I have watched both of the Alaska videos and you guys have given me so much to look forward to and great insight in to what to expect. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

[@tianah203]

My husband and I will board the Encore headed to Alaska the first week of September. What time of the year did you all travel?

[@shawa2938]

Looove this video just want i needed to win over my family

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Yay!

[@christinevillela2710]

How awesome to go cruising with your mom!

[@GriffandAlyssa]

It really is!

[@vannesashinkle8726]

Hello. I found you documentary for Alaska Cruise, I am curious where you guys stay at? We are doing our 1st ever Alaska cruise on Aug, we are from Florida too 😊

[@ronniefender]

Can you explain what happened with the ziprider? We have the excursion booked for 8 am (7:30 and 8:00) were the only options however itinerary says we dock at 7 am.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Our ship was delayed. We were suppose to dock at 12 but didn’t dock till 2. If we remember correctly.

[@lissettemdernierdominiquet1898]

Hi, I truly enjoyed your commentary. Awesome! I'm not able to do all that walking and hiking but I'll do the train and other things. Too cold 🥶 But, it's worth the experience. Very nice and inviting. Thank you! Blessings!!

[@Yoko.Kurama]

Hey i never been on a cruise. Once you hit land youre pretty much on your own to figure out to what to do until its time to go?

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Yep. You can book an excursion through the ship or through a local site.

[@Yoko.Kurama]

@@GriffandAlyssa thanks

[@marshaseamons7317]

Love your music!

[@Wenni_822]

I can’t wait to take my mom on this cruise! Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelarodriguez5020]

Port Valet Royal said it had something like that for our cruise in 60+ days on the Quantum.

[@GriffandAlyssa]

wow!

[@Keep-on-ok]

Alyssa, Please let me know what hair products you use on a cruise. I too have natural curly hair!

[@gnuhbeana]

A mega vlog!!! I love these ones. Also love watching them separate. My 8 month old loves seeing you guys 🙃 as do I. Can't wait to watch this multiple times to come 😌

[@GriffandAlyssa]

Yay! Thank you!

[@byker51]

In preparation for my August Alaska cruise on the Encore, I watched your documentary. Y'all did a fine job and now I have enough information to make a plan. I enjoy all your postings but this one struck home. The only thing that could make my adventure perfect would be to have that cutie pie in video on the ship, you know, the one with the short hair and glasses. (don't tell her husband, I have enough problems)

[@Tiabajoie]

Love all of your videos! Getting ready to cruise to Alaska may 17, 2022 out of Seattle. Your video is so helpful! Congrats on the 50k

[@kymberlimiller50]

😮 you just got on the ship yesterday then! Oh I am so excited we depart 5/28/22 and I am just greedy for more details!

[@mariareyes-ku6194]

It’s so nice to see you again! We are going on the Ovation of the Seas to Alaska from Vancouver in May 2022. We are so excited! 😂

[@ambj07]

This was a marathon and I certainly enjoyed it :)

[@inespadro8648]

Saludos,no se si puedas leer mi comentario porque no se hablar ni escribir en ingles. Pero si de alguna manera me pudiera decir la fecha exacta de tu viaje y el clima me ayudaria muchisimo. Gracias

[@davidkocchi9444]

We are going on the encore from Seattle the first week in jul 2022 with my sister from New Smyrna. 60th :-) What side of the ship is the best choice? I saw your concern in Glacier Bay. Love your composition! You guys are tons of fun.

[@barbaraberkley]

Loved this. Thank you! I go to Alaska on the Encore in a week!! What month was this trip? Oh, just figured out it was September. :-)

[@GriffandAlyssa]

We went in August 2021. Have an amazing trip!

[@mharlow86]

Thanks for making this video. I have loved watching this a couple of times to get ideas for my up coming Alaska cruise. It has helped a lot. Alyssa I love the white beanie with the blue highlights and was wondering where you found that? As I think it is super cute. Again thank you for all of your hard work. I look forward to viewing more of your adventures.

[@carmeljackson1271]

I've watch each video of you this cruise already and now I'm watching the documentary and enjoying every bit of it again. It's making me even more anxious for our cruise to Alaska. 😊😃

[@tatianaperalta8672]

Hi Griff & Alyssa. Loooooove your videos ❤️ we booked our NCL Alaska cruise for October 16 through the 23rd 2022. I am curious to know when you went on your cruise, was it September or October?… Because I am seeing some negative reviews on the web about not being able to see any whales or Bears so late in the year due to the colder weather 😔 plz lmk, thanks P.S. your Alaska packing video was amazing !!! and it helped me a lot to start planning… I know, I’m very early, but this way I am able to get some deals on winter clothing should I need to add to what I already have since I live in Miami Blessings, Tati

[@GriffandAlyssa]

When went in June on Ovation and August on the Encore!

[@tatianaperalta8672]

Alyssa, thanks for your reply 🙏🏻 I loooooove the black with the white logo beanie hat that you as well as your husband wear on the Alaska NCL Encore videos … please let me know what brand it is and where I could get one if I still can …. Thx a bunch T.

[@AF-ep5df]

Hi! Great video! Was this in August?

[@GriffandAlyssa]

I think so

[@mariareyes-ku6194]

Hi there. For some reason the voice and sound at the end of the videos was not in sync with the video, especially the dinner part before Ketchikan.

[@LisaHunter]

Wonderful vlog!! Can you drop the link to your Air BnB in Seattle please.

[@shopper5969]

Love the ocean view from the balcony so beautiful and peaceful. The best place to relax. The food looks good. Y’all enjoy Alaska and be safe. Thanks for sharing family time on a cruise.

[@Keep-on-ok]

We usually take HAL to Alaska and the spin the ship around several times so everyone can see the glaciers. I don’t understand why they didn’t spin your ship!

[@tonyadebase1740]

I have enjoyed this soooo much!!!!

[@brandikorte8151]

Port Valet is a service they provide to all cruise lines. It’s a Seattle port service.

[@SpiceySpinster]

So funny! 😂😂😂 You should write a movie. 😀

[@docdidi2112]

It's a caperberry 🤗 Great video guys!!!
