I was on this cruise with y'all and enjoyed seeing the fun your group had the entire cruise. I really enjoyed your video of dinner on embarkation. Just showing the meals, deserts, and the pour of the martini with the music overlay was awesome. I hope this is a new trend we will see for showcasing the wonderful meals.

[@anaveragejoeslife]

I just did this cruise on the Spirit July 4th. We had perfect weather the whole week in Seattle and Alaska. The Spirit has a fantastic crew!

[@ginabyrd503]

Thanks again for the jam Sharon and all the other goodies! We appreciate you guys! So many great memories were made on this cruise❤

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

We had a great time too, Gina!!!! See you again soon!!!

[@michelleb749]

That's a spacious cabin. How nice of you to give everyone a goody bag including the jam.

[@debbierange545]

Sharon’s jam is the best. Lucky group

[@annettethalmann4327]

Sharon you are so thoughtful with chap stick and jam and all. This is the same type of room as we had when we went from Seattle to Alaska in May

[@2azTravelers]

You guys crack me up, I enjoy watching you so much!! We are not going on a cruise again until December, but I just love watching your adventures!! We aspire to vlog and most of all meet up with you guys again some day!!! This looks like it was great fun. Even in the rain!! Not even rain can make us sad on "Cruise Day"!!

[@travelwithhaydenyt]

Bucket list cruise right here! Have always wanted to try Spirit class and really can't wait to go to Alaska!!

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

Seeing the cruise crew and coop altogether just enjoying each other was so great to watch!! What a fun time with cruise family! It was super generous for you to gift everyone some of your famous jam Sharon. This video had ALL the feels!!❤😊

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Hi Nancy!!!!!xoxoxoxo

[@diamonddave3578]

Good times. Great memories. Tasty jam. Thanks guys.

[@jodygirl2023]

Thanks for sharing your trips I love watching you all! Wish I could have come along in person...

[@shadowgaming7892]

Our family went on the carnival spirit in 2019 Aussie -Nz The trip was amazing hope you enjoyed it too 😀

[@ScreamieBirds]

Love the Spirit class!! We had a similar suite on the Radiance, which was nice, and the best dining room service ever! Probably because of the suite…

[@nancykerstetter1952]

This cruise was amazing. The best people to cruise with. Sharon Jamie Matthew and The Ship show were amazing hosts. Loved the goodie bags especially Sharon’s homemade Strawberry Jam. Alaska was amazing. We will be visiting Alaska again. Thanks for the best cruise ever.

[@packyrat]

Did the Spirit last year in July for Alaska. Loved the Spirit class ships.

[@ronhudson9102]

So kool, dang a bath tub, that is suite.

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

Fun vlog as always guys.

[@Sotweetie]

How sweet of you to make little gifts for all of your group!

[@nerveending4536]

I'm going to that cruise Thursday

[@kated2847]

Wow. That looks like an enormous amount of work went into that.

[@scottplucker7593]

Can't believe I haven't done Alaska yet have a Mediterranean in April Canadian in September amd Alaska was on the list before both of those.

[@kathleenperez2650]

My first cruise on Carnival Destiny was a suite just like that room! Brings back memories ❤

[@ynaclarklivingtheamericandream]

My sister is working in that ship right now and she’s also a blogger. Have fun

[@dicedice8278]

Keep it up Jamie and Sharon

[@markc9669]

you literally are in the same room we were in on the 1st of June. Our steward Indy was the best!

[@ericdrews5050]

Don’t wear out the ship or eat all of the food. I’m booked on the Spirits repositioning cruise September 19th. I’m really looking forward to the full transit of the Panama Canal. Enjoy Alaska.

[@montyboswell6509]

Great video! So much fun! Lois😊

[@tinaduncan72]

I love they boarding process.

[@heideleskun1163]

Smith Cove is really easy. It was like Baltimore, like the smaller ports. Suites are the best, we would get them when our son and daughter cruised with us and mom and dad paid. lol LOVED the Spirit, and yes the pools and hot tubs are heated.. Hope the Legend will be heated for Canada and Greenland. There are actually 3 pools. Midship, Lido then the aft/serenity.

[@EddieLugoStudios]

YOYOYO!!! Brooklyn in da Haus Yall !!! Well it looks like we will be doing Alaska soon, Alice has been talkin bout it lately so who knows, those beads that Sharon gave us in New Orleans has been bringing us luck !!! just sayin Yall.............Hey Jamie How you doing lately Mister !!!

[@kathysultze9016]

Looks like a fun cruise, someday I'm going to go on your group cruise

[@user-rv5ds1qo7l]

Which side of the boat do you recommend for this cruise to get the best view?

[@eaglefootsh]

We’ll be there at the end of August!! August 29- September 5 on Carnival Spirit !!!!!!!!Can NOT wait 😀

[@user-vn6op3om2i]

Thank you ❤

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

You're welcome 😊

[@debbierange545]

so glad that you got the suite so I can see what mine will look like in 17 days. 6174.

[@johngleason7801]

Great fun video!

[@ericanderson5122]

9 weeks from today we will be on spirit going to Alaska

[@cruisinkoozies]

Best cruise yet for me,even with us bringing the kids.

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Awesome to hear!!! It was great meeting you guys!!! Let's do it again soon!!

[@cruisinkoozies]

@@SharonatSeaTravel absolutely

[@ericgranger5014]

Love the spirit. Can’t wait to see the rest of your videos from this cruise as I think we have decided to do Alaska next year probably on the same ship.

[@barbmyers3413]

Love this page! Sharon, I am leaving on the Spirit in a couple of months. We may have a flight that leaves Seattle at 10:10am. (The day of disembarking) Do you have an idea of how long it takes to get off the ship (average)? We did pay for the program that helps you get on (and off) faster. Also, do you do other group cruises?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

10:10 could be tight. Carry off all of your luggage yourself and be ready to run off the ship asap. I book all cruises, any line to anywhere, and we have some other smaller group cruises coming up. Email me [e-mail] Thanks!!

[@noelreynolds4861]

I suppose one could dress nice to embark, making the luggage point moot and the MDR as well, but whatever works.

[@judysmith9552]

we are going on a september 3 rd alaska cruise. was there anything you wished you had packed but didn't? so difficult to pack for this cruise.

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

If anything, we probably overpacked. I would say pack a bit less. Nothing really that we "forgot" to pack. Bring an extra pair of shoes/sneakers in case you get into some rain or mud. Remember you can always do a quick load of laundry in a pinch on the ship. Thanks for watching!!!

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

What a shame that we couldn’t go with you to Alaska, granddaughter graduation came first! Great video!

[@brendaalaniz8289]

What do you feel is the best cruiseline for Alaska, I am looking at Carnival, Princess and HAL for August 2024.

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Just adults or kids too? Is it your first time to Alaska? Lots of variables to this question. Carnival can be great with kids, plus has a little party vibe and an ok focus on Alaska. Hal is more for adults, although they do have a kids club, and if you are really into learning about Alaska and the culture, they are great!!! We haven't sailed Princess, but you might find that they kind of fit right into the middle of those two.

[@brendaalaniz8289]

@@SharonatSeaTravel No kids, we are almost 60, Platinum with Carnival so aware of the vibe, we are looking for some of that vibe with some quite space also. We like the Piano bar, comedy club and casino on Carnival that is about the only things we participate in. LOVE great food and drinks and people watching. Thanks for answering me. Do you suggest a travel agent or is just calling the cruise line enough? Thanks

[@barbarashuster9029]

Great goodie bags! I don't think I've ever seen a vlog on Carnival with tablecloths in the main dining room! 👍

[@InMyCruisingEra]

Does Carnival require a printed boarding pass?

[@alicebeilman4168]

Another question: did you purchase the drink package?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

On this trip, we did not.

[@Saiweddings]

How is weather in june in Alaska?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Warmer than you would think, although it can still get pretty chilly. Tough to pack for..need to bring a mix of clothes!! lol

[@AnaHernandez-nl7it]

Sharon,has there been any norovirus outbreaks in your latest cruises?

[@lfancher1]

Was the pajama part just for your group? Or was it a Carnival thing?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

It was just a fun event for our group. We also had the Lido Olympics you can see in another video from that cruise!!!

[@chicagomike]

Took it to Whittier loved the experience.

[@mogall8718]

Were you guys able to actually feel the boat moving? That’s my fear😂 planning this for next year

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

At times, yes..but it was pretty calm. Sometimes that first day heading North from Seattle can be a bit choppy.

[@RachelVasquez-rh3ij]

What hotel did ya'll stay the night before?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

We stayed at the Homewood Suites on Western. Look for the video before this one that shows our pre-cruise day in Seattle for more on the area right around the hotel!!

[@julieamos1633]

So much fun we should do that pj party at every sail away.

[@alicebeilman4168]

How do you get to diamond status?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

We have cruised on Carnival for years.

I think she is going to get a beer

[@NJ_Cruiser]

Two questions. Was there enough clearance in that tub/shower for those of us over 6 ft tall? Did they let you into the casino with those PJs on? :) Awesome video, thanks for sharing!!

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Yes and Yes!! Hey there AspenATC!!!

[@EddieLugoStudios]

How come yours is not RED???? Mister Sharon !!

[@kens805]

At which hotel did ya'll stay at? Any good??

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Homewood Suites on Western. We liked it!!

@@SharonatSeaTravel Thank You! I'm planning a cruise next year to Alaska and couldn't believe the prices all around Seattle! (or for that matter in almost every industry)

[@godskintrio3433]

Is there abasketball court im going there on monday

[@amayangtso140]

How’s the weather in July over at Alaska and does formal night dinner is free or pay additional at carnival spirit?

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

it was actually somewhat warm and sunny, but we were lucky from what we are told. And yes, all meals in the main dining room are included in the cruise.

[@amayangtso140]

@@SharonatSeaTravel we r traveling in week but so confused what to pack. Thank you for your respond. For formal night I mean dress up night dinner!

[@dearmepa1]

What month did you cruise to Alaska? We’re going May 2024 on Carnival Spirit!

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

We went in June of this year.

Nooo the Virginity Rocks shirt

Legend, Miracle and Pride...Hi Debbie!!!

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Yes, they have elevators.

@@SharonatSeaTravel yay thanks

[@johndevore9802]

I have been on cruises three times. I should have went through your agency. I'm disabled and I got screwed because I wanted the next cruise and they told me it's now or never. So...I lost 3 thousand dollars. Hope you all have fun.

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

Oh no..sorry to hear that! Feel free to contact me next time [e-mail]. Thanks for watching!!!

[@dearmepa1]

How did you lose $3000 due to your disability?

[@scottmadding1252]

Well, thought I was going to see Alaska rather than people boarding a ship

[@SharonatSeaTravel]

In all fairness, the video is titled "Boarding the Carnival Spirit". There are more videos of our cruise to Alaska in this series!!
