Grand Princess Southbound Alaska May 2024

This is our 7 night Alaska cruise on the Grand Princess leaving Whittier to Vancouver, BC. Got on board May 15, 2024. Was cool with lots of snow. Took a scenic train excursion out of Skagway. Check out our White Pass Scenic train video: • White Pass Scenic Rail...

Great video. We are on a seven day cruise on the Grand and five day land tour the last two weeks in July. This is our very first cruise for our 45th anniversary.

Very nice video. Going to Alaska in June and have watched lots of videos. Yours is one of the BEST, nice quiet, soothing back music. Nice video feeds. Appreciated all the information! Thank you

[@BlueColorKat]

Wow, thank you!

[@cathypearson1889]

I'm doing an Alaska cruise next year

[@BlueColorKat]

This was our 3rd Alaska cruise all on Princess. Have fun next year.

[@kathymichaels498]

Great video. We will be going on the Caribbean Princess in June 2025. What hotel did you stay at?

[@BlueColorKat]

@kathymichaels498 we got in late after 10pm. Stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anchorage Airport, 3501 Minnesota Dr and W 36th Ave, Anchorage, AK, 99503-3650 United States of America. They had a free airport shuttle, then the next day took the shuttle again back to the airport to catch the tour bus to Whittier.

We were on the Grand last August. Sailed from Vancouver to Alaska. Great experience!

[@SusanThomas-v9d]

How did you land that lovely table by the window every night?

[@BlueColorKat]

That was assigned to us for the whole cruise.

[@jazmarz]

Thanks for answering my questions. Glad to hear I can sit and watch nature on the ship. Great video packed with information.

[@marleencaswell4348]

Great photography! Thank you!

[@BlueColorKat]

Many thanks!

[@oplasencia60]

Thank you for the ride, or sail, along. 😊

[@pennyrichardson9700]

Thank you for this video. It brought back memories!

[@annemccoy7765]

Wonderful video. We were on this cruise with you - even took the ACT transport & the White Pass RR. Awesome.

[@BlueColorKat]

So cool!

[@cherrypa2751]

Oh cool! We were on this cruise actually. Our very first. We were also on deck 5. Took some videos & photos with our phone camera only so i love this film you made. Husband & i will go back to this so we can relieve our own experience. Thank you for this wonderful documentation. Goodluck on thenext ones🎉

[@BlueColorKat]

​@cherrypa2751 that was our 3rd Alaska cruise. I would do it again.

[@cathypearson1889]

If you think about Glacier Bay, it's a classic case of climate change. All 65 miles and 1400 ft deep used to be filled with ice. It's stunningly beautiful, yet sad at the same time.

[@treywhite9842]

The NPS covers how much the glaciers receded between mid 1700s to mid 1800s. Most of glacier bay. All before the Industrial Revolution. Natural climate change but that’s nature.

[@SusanThomas-v9d]

Very nice coverage of the Grand. We did the same cruise last June and loved it. Enjoyed reliving it thru your video. 😊

[@billcook4768]

Nice job. Thanks for taking us along.

[@BlueColorKat]

Thanks...

[@bellamills7366]

Great video and thanks. We are going to Alaska cruise in Sept 14-24 with Sapphire Princess.

[@BlueColorKat]

Have fun, September should be nice...

[@haggiskiwi]

We were on Grand for her first cruise of Alaskan season. Amazing how much less snow there was on White Pass for your train trip.

[@BlueColorKat]

I'm glad we got to see the snow we did. Our past two cruises were later in the season, so not so much snow.

[@jazmarz]

Never been on a cruise ship. Husband wants to go. Thanks for the great photography. Where was the wildlife? Did you see any whales or land animals? Also was there anywhere to sit on decks to watch for wildlife? I saw no seating and everyone looked cold as they stood to watch the scenery. Seems like living at a hotel with amenities you can't use (pool at 40 deg) connected to a mall. I just don't see the value after watching this. I really want to thank you for opening my mind to what it would be like. THANKS.

[@BlueColorKat]

That was our 3rd Alaska cruise. May was cold, but lots of snow to see. There are chairs on the outside decks. Seen whales, otters, and a black bear walking along the coatline. Recommend taking binoculars. There are always excursion you can take to get closer to wildlife. I'd go again, so pretty.
