Nice video’s. We are going in early May 2023. So excited

[@richardfamilyproductions]

Hey thanks Billy! That’s just around the corner now. Close enough you might find yourself subject to “cruise brain”! (only capable of thinking about your upcoming adventure) 😂

Going in May! Thanks for the info! Very helpful. Do you remember which side of the ship had the best scenery for Endicott Arm or does it matter which side the balcony is on?

[@richardfamilyproductions]

You’re going to have a blast! Luckily with the Endicott Arm you sail up the fjord, spin around and sail back down the same way you came in. Both sides of the ship have pretty equal views! Due to the water conditions our sailing couldn’t make it all the way down to Dawes Glacier but it is still a gorgeous part of the trip.

Like Alaska Cruise, went there last month 🎉 👍

[@richardfamilyproductions]

That’s great! We are so excited to go back to Alaska! What was your favorite port?

[@4kFamilyFunWalk]

@@richardfamilyproductions Glacier, nice river in Ketchikan, Capitol of Juneau, how about you?

[@richardfamilyproductions]

@@4kFamilyFunWalk sounds like fun! We really enjoyed Skagway and Sitka but it was all so wonderful! Unbelievably beautiful.

I am going on ovation in may, I may have told you. Not sure im overly excited vs. a caribbean cruise but I gonna try it once. would you go back to alaska? I always judge a vacation spot if someone will go back a second or third time. I am looking forward to my extended caribbean cruise. So you have to pay for the Northstar? I thought it was free...im confused

[@richardfamilyproductions]

We would love to go back to Alaska! It was such an amazing trip and the Ovation was a great vessel for it. It’s different than a Caribbean cruise but in all the best ways (maybe besides temperature). Average day was somewhere between 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Some rainy days may have been colder. The scenery is really what makes the trip. Alaska is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. So vast and inspiring. The North Star has free spots available but they book up quickly so make sure to grab one if you’re planning on doing that. We definitely recommend the North Star experience! They also have upgraded rides that cost money. The ride is longer duration and also rotate out over the side of the ship.

[@richardfamilyproductions]

@@campusx4195 coming up shortly! Hopefully within the next week or so. I appreciate your patience. Between flight training and spring semester starting I haven’t made much time for video editing. Stay tuned I can assure you the Valiant Lady is one beautiful ship!!

Did you need a passport for the white pass railway?

[@richardfamilyproductions]

Great question Christine, we did not need our passports for the White Pass Railway. That was such a fun ride. We can't wait to do it again someday!

[@campusx4195]

No video yet?? 😢😢

[@richardfamilyproductions]

You are right! I just started working on our Virgin Voyage Videos. You can expect a video before next weekend! We appreciate your patience.

[@cherylosburn2595]

Those rough seas scare me! Iĺl be packing sea sick meds and patches. Iḿ going in end of June, hopefully that will be better , what month did you go?

[@richardfamilyproductions]

Hey Cheryl you will have a great time! Definitely bring some Dramamine in case the motion bothers you. We felt it was a great part of the experience even if it did slow us down a bit. Our cruise was the first week of June 2022. If nothing else the rocking motion of the ship makes for a great nap time 😴
