Your hair is so cute.

Right?! It looks so good on her.

Agree agree agree ! Color and cut !!!

[@jansmith3126]

@@louriegibbons8155 I love the grey!

[@airtexaco]

Love women with short hair! I agree the color is also awesome. Came for her, stayed for the beautiful family.

[@davelauraphillips8814]

Alisa, Laura says: you were so brave to show when you had to cut your hair and that it looks gorgeous. No need to wear a wig any more. Be who you are!

[@robertdrucker3534]

Yes she does. I love the hair style

[@maryanngriffiths1259]

I agree. Gorgeous!!

[@aliciaangel23]

So awesome to see Cameron back in the vlogs! I hope Colby is doing great! And Ethan having his 1st little one! Congratulations!

[@jennifertriesthat]

I started going on HAL in my early 30's. I've been on 6 of their cruises and love them. More laid back, less people, smaller ships, great food, and amazing entertainment. I will be going on more cruises with them for sure!

[@Angiehere-1]

We are 5 star on HAL.

[@amyhwang2020]

Gotta say, I LOVE how your hair has grown in. You look so amazing with it short; I’d keep it that way!

[@JillObie]

I loved this, so good to see HAL getting some love via vlog! They are our favorite line (in our 30’s). Looks like a wonderful trip with a super fun group! Can’t wait to see the rest of the vlogs!

[@maryanncapece2623]

That all looked so amazing. The ship is nothing like I expected to see. Your cabin looked very comfortable, and that balcony... 💖 So much fun already! Alyssa, I love your hair!! it is coming back perfectly.You look beautiful with short hair. Can't wait to see all the rest of this trip.

[@ANervousTrek]

The joy you both bring us is incredible. This is a bucket list cruise and hearing how appreciative and aware Alisa is really makes us love you guys.

[@barbb9903]

What a great start to your trip. You all looked like you had the best time.

[@andreas4268]

Hello Alissa and Jason! We were on the Koningsdam to Alaska the week of September 24th-Oct 1st. We just missed you! We love your channel, take away a lot of inspiration and tips and darn it would have been excellent to meet you both! You have a great travel group for your Alaskan adventure! Enjoy friends! 😊😊

[@arfriedman4577]

It was nice to watch your vlog. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

[@ExploreTheWorld703]

HAL is so cool in how they appeal to the curious minded by little things like the umbrella. They know rain doesn’t stop the beauty! 🥰🥰

[@oliviarose9647]

Hello EECC Travel!! First of all, your hair is SO adorable - I'm loving it!! Also, thank you so much for your content! EECC travel has always been so super informative. I hope to see you on one of your cruises, we are also avid cruisers! Hope you have a wonderful cruise!! :)

[@melanieschudel4213]

Just loved the socks exchange!! 😂😂

[@dawnandkevinturner8799]

Alisa we have been watching you all for a few years now and love the joy you both bring to travel. I especially want you to know that you are stunning with a pixie cut!!!

[@trydl88621]

You are looking so good. Have fun! Keep on traveling.

[@kbmamaof3772]

Good to see Cameron again:) He loves his Mama. Love from NC!

[@MikeSteinSeaTac]

OH how we love you two! What a wonderful time ! ! ! LOVE the balcony tip too. We did our first 2 ever Holland cruises a month ago and now we have our eyes set on Koningsdam : )

[@liveletlive1811]

Great video! Good to see Cameron again!

[@tonia.5861]

Alisa-Your hair is fantastic and I never noticed your amazing eyes until you cut your hair. You’re a beautiful lady!

[@timothywalters5056]

love it, you always bring excitement and joy to these vlogs

[@TheMoonlightAdventures]

Great VLOG! This looks amazing! Can’t wait until we travel to AK!

[@JimmyVYouTube]

This is right up there with The Hawaii adventures! I can't wait for more.

[@Scoutsmommy1]

Keep your hair the way it is. So cute, accents your beautiful eyes and doesn’t take too much work.

[@Alexisaboard]

HAL is our favorite line and we’re in our 30s! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@elliechristie2498]

Great video….loved the polar plunge!! You two are adorable and down to earth…no pretenses…⚓️❤️🚢💕

Looks like a GREAT TIME!! I 😉 Friends, socks, and THE FOOD!!!😀

[@jmr1703]

Your hair is growing back FAST! I love the short style on you. Cheers to a wonderful cruise! Joey

[@barbb]

It was so lovely to meet you both on this ship. I am glad you had a good time in Vancouver (except for the lineup's! Verifly really is the best thing!). Looking forward to seeing more of your cruise.

[@baleslauren6]

The sock exchange looks so fun! 😆😆😆

[@Beachdudeca]

I very much appreciate the depth of your review, it included numerous helpful details neglected by other channels.

[@eleanor4482]

That was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@EmmaCruises]

My gosh those Nemo socks hahaa. Thanks so much for this video, I've definitely had the impression before that Holland America is a relaxing (older) kinda cruise, but this looks like so much fun, sure I'd love this! :)

[@dianeallen7313]

We sailed out of Vancouver in July and it was our first time and YES! We were downstairs and then upstairs and then in one line and then another line. It was crazy! They rocked out at the end! Unexpected.

[@Jackiebrook126]

I was on the Koningsdam in May to Alaska. We had an Aft corner Neptune Suite with wrap around balcony we loved the space the suite had. We also loved everything about the Koningsdam. And Alaska.

[@jhollie8196]

Have thought about aft Neptune suite. Booked Panama Canal for February while onboard our last cruise. They were already booked. Was it noisy or did your balcony get wet from wash down? I’ve heard these two items happen on aft staterooms. We love HAL and got hooked on the Neptune suites and won’t downgrade suites.

[@northcanuck4631]

We did this cruise last year and the weather/seas were rough. It was the second last cruise of the season and many people were seasick. Alaska is beautiful. I think my favorite was Glacier Bay. The food was spectacular. (I gained 10 lbs.) The entertainment was awesome. I particularly enjoyed the dance shows. I can't wait for my next cruise.

[@brentdnti9618]

Yeah, your baby is back!!! Love his friend too, I hope there's more of the 👪 family

[@constancecook-cruisetravel1166]

This was awesome 😎. Thank you ❤. Alysa your hair looks lovely 🥰

[@peppapig3761]

Loved your London vlogs also your young lady honesty about her hair issues which I totally feel for her. Keep up the good work. Please please enjoy. Wimbledon London

[@claireywalsh]

Vancouver is my favourite city in the world!! It is so beautiful. We’ve only had 3-4 days their at a time and I always want more!!

[@teresalewelling7318]

Love K-dam!! Did the same cruise earlier in July. Great ship and crew. And your short hair is super cute Alyssa!!!

[@lorettachapman4244]

Your trips are always so fun!! Great group of people! I’m with Alyssa I always get the short ribs, always so good! Looks like a great ship too! We might have to try HAL now!

[@monkeyb1820]

we did k-dam in Caribbean like 4 or 5 years ago. It was awesome. Chill and civilized vibe, but we weren't bored. Awesome buffet.

[@shelcheese8344]

We did the same cruise in late August. It was fantastic!!!!

[@virginiaclark8963]

I have never been on a cruise but you all make it look so fun.

[@kathleenhenry6600]

I LOVE your hair! I know you are growing it out, but I kept my hair that short for the whole length of my career as an RN. Just easier to deal with. Now retired, I grew it back out. I love following you two on your adventures.

[@joansarratt]

I loooove the Canaletto! I like getting the meatballs and lasagna ♥️ So happy to see you on one of my beloved Dam ships. Have fun!

[@X0awsome]

Love HAL. Paid $349pp to upgrade to a suite for a 12 day medditeranian cruise. The low cost made it all that much more glorious! I usually do the obstructed view balcony. The price is right and the lifeboat doesn't really block much of scenery. Can't wait for more of Alaska and your fresh air fueled enthusiasm!

[@vickywray7285]

That ship looks really nice. Hair is looking awesome Alisa.

[@ErikStroehlein]

Love you guys! Fresh Off our Transatlantic on the Prima (loved it Weather be Dammed). We are going Back to Alaska next Year! So happy to see loving and accepting parents! 🤗🤗🤗👍

[@barbarashuster9029]

It was a fantastic double rainbow as we were leaving Geiranger Fjord on Rotterdam when we were in Canaletto! Food was good too.

[@kathyb5274]

She explains so well and she’s fun.

[@amykettle9581]

You are ROCKING that short hair! Gorgeous!!

[@theflatulentfreddy1]

The wife and I took a cruise to Alaska in August from Vancouver. We actually live downtown there, just a quick taxi ride from Canada Place. It was so easy to get there, and yes there was a long line up, so go early. Otherwise it was easy peasy. Coming back we were off the boat and home in about 20 minutes. They didn't even check our arrive Can, just passport. Straight through and took a waiting taxi, so stress free!

[@jennib11]

Sock exchange was such a great idea!!!!!

[@shahareyarn4975]

Wow v nice comfortable ship cabin. Thanks

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Ooookay, so now I need to put those Dam ships on my list of ships to go on!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for breaking that bad 'stereotype' I had about HAL! Now, if only they sailed out of Port Canaveral then things would be golden! Maybe an Alaska cruise in 2024..hmmmm...Thanks for the great entertaining adventures, eager to see more! Have fun!!

[@hollyhobart8739]

Thank you for everything

[@burlapanddailybread]

The best HAL cruise video I have seen! They should be using y'all for their commercials! Looks like you had so much fun! We went in 2018 on the Eurodam from Seattle. Loved every minute! Going again June 1st. I can't wait. Thanks for sharing! Kristi 💕

We just got off the Koningsdam! Loved the ship and crew! Did you find the two drawers under the foot of the bed? They were perfect storage for our hiking boots, warm weather clothes, and other bulky items.

Always wanted to see Vancouver. That part of the world is the most beautiful i have seen. Definitely want to do this cruise!

When you go to Glacier Bay, Holland America serves pea soup on the promenade deck. Lovely, enjoy your vlogs.
