Dear Kristine, you guys are already crossing to Alaska so that means you will spend most of your contract in the cold weather. I cannot wait to see your videos about the snow and ice. Thank you for posting your life on the ship. Love it.❤❤❤❤❤

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you for watching!!

[@htoh310]

On top of your outstanding dancing skills, you are also an exceptional videographer and editor

[@kristinekugler]

I really appreciate that 🥰🥰

[@stephdrake1011]

I love seeing my country from a tourist point of view! I’m glad you ladies had such an awesome time on our wee islands

[@kristinekugler]

We love it!! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@losfp]

Great that you're able to get to some of the highlights! I hope you've been able to see a little bit of sydney on turnaround days too.

[@kristinekugler]

Yes of course! Thanks for watching!!

[@LordToogood]

That was a really good video, so much detail in it, felt like a travel show. Ahhh I was waiting for the book shop. I thought there would be one sneaked in there.

[@kristinekugler]

Haha I love that!! Thank you so much!😊

[@jasonlyall874]

My partner and I will be on this sailing in early December can’t wait ❤

[@timmoore3666]

Awesomeness !! Thanks Kistine for bringing us along. You girls are hilarious 🎉😂🎉

[@kristinekugler]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@philiphudson1547]

Loved every minute of the vid 🌹🌹.looking forward to the next one.🛥🌹🌹🌹

[@kristinekugler]

Yay! Thank you!

[@htoh310]

Yes, agree. Sounds are the best part of the cruise, but gondola ride in Christchurch, and the views from the top were also breathtaking (especially, how beautiful Ovation looked like a toy ship from there). Definitely will be coming back to NZ for 2-3 week road trip

[@kristinekugler]

I never did that, but I saw pictures that looked amazing! A NZ roadtrip would be so amazing!! I’d love to do that one day!

[@EmilyHarp-qu3eu]

Waves crashing on rocks is my favorite!! Any place I can see that quickly becomes my favorite. 😄

[@kristinekugler]

❤️❤️❤️

[@virginiamartin2758]

Tunnel Beach looked like so much fun!

[@Troy_Harland]

Cool video, Great to see you enjoyed yourself exploring with what time you had in New Zealand. The Sounds are amazing!!

[@kristinekugler]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@joeroscillo4015]

Dose the toilet, "down under" really swirl water in the opposite direction, than it dose in the Northam hemisphere? Such interesting places you've brought us visiting!! You cast folks really enjoy your time together!!

[@MyShayCo]

Now we're talking.........as much as i love all the antics of your amazing friends and especially the backstage pieces, Its great that you share your experiencing places many of us may never get to see. GOOD JOB !!!!!!!!! thank you so much you never cease to deliver. Safe Travels 🍀😝🍀

[@kristinekugler]

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@jennmable]

It’s so beautiful - thanks for sharing. I do question the “steepest” street in the world…San Francisco has some seriously steep streets!

[@darktheme1400]

Thank you for sharing the wonderful time you guys had in Dunedin, it looked so beautiful and was a joy to watch. Kristine your vlogs move with such fluidity and your music selection never disappoints. You are an amazing content creator.🥰🥰

[@kristinekugler]

That is so kind, thank you so much!!

[@araeofsunshine9435]

Thank you SO much for letting me tagalong on your adventures! I will never get to visit these amazing place, so being your shadow helps me get to travel to a faraway lands. ❤😊

[@kristinekugler]

My pleasure!! Thank you so much for following along! ☺️💖

[@jhonld5859]

un hermoso lugar😁👍

[@bekkicurrier145]

Loved all the sights - breathtaking! ⛰🚢

[@kristinestocker]

I've enjoyed Australia and New Zealand with you. And I'm really looking forward to Alaska as I've been there before and want to re-visit some of the sites.

[@kristinekugler]

Aw amazing!!

[@tjcrawford7910]

Wow! This was awesome! Excited to see whats next

[@kristinekugler]

More to come!

[@allee541]

Definitely confused if I should fly to New Zealand and spend more time or cruise, coz I love cruising.

[@stephenmaher1029]

All of that beautiful scenery and you still find time for a bookstore stop😂have fun in the new destination and you better dust off that big jacket for the frozen tundra🥶🤗

[@kristinekugler]

So true!

[@timlehigh-knight8684]

Hi Kristine. Been watching your Chanel for 8 or 9 months. My wife and I are celebrating our 25th on Ovation. We will be joining you in Hawaii. I'll be screaming your name at the show

[@kristinekugler]

Aw thank you!! Hope I run into you! Please do!!

[@user-vb1lm7qh4t]

Wow it looks so pretty!!!! I just went to a bookstore and bought magnolia parks can’t wait to start reading it!🤍

[@kristinekugler]

Hope you enjoy it! It’s my favorite book!! 🩷

[@richmiller2501]

hahaaha You got wacky friends!!!! loved the video!!!

[@kristinekugler]

❤️☺️

[@darkeeredhand798]

Have fun!!

[@marytaylor8758]

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@81phoebe]

New Zealand always be my 2nd home. Since 2010 and 2012, I have been to Queenstown, Christchurch, and Auckland. Amazing country, beautiful scenery, fresh air, nice ppl. I ❤ NZ. Which month to be in NZ, well I prefer spring (March, April, May), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February). As summer (June, July, August), I think I won't go during summer ha...ha... living in Singapore 🇸🇬 it pretty humid weather already...

[@kristinekugler]

Thanks for sharing! NZ is so beautiful!! 🩷

[@81phoebe]

@@kristinekugler indeed

[@user-woolfallD]

I hope u had some good holidays

[@RobertHansenRob]

Not that your last cast wasn't but you all seem to click so well in this cast. New Zealand is great. Looking forward to seeing the crossing. I am doing that trip next year. Looks like the guest spotted you out and about too

[@kristinekugler]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@bernardmoskalis4770]

[@johnstock7357]

hawaii is my neck of town do you know what Island your stoping at maybe i could give you advice of what to see? also what part of australia/new zealand will you miss most?

[@kristinekugler]

We are porting in Honolulu and Kailua-Kona! I’m definitely going to miss Dunedin the most!

[@ryanm7249]

So glad you all had fun! Can you please describe to me what those cable cars are?

[@kristinekugler]

They’re like cars set up on a cable that can go up the mountain!

[@andrewwhelan2669]

Hey Kristine , thanks for the tour. I know you must have gotten a book or two to keep you busy during the crossing ?

[@kristinekugler]

Yes!! I’m currently reading Happily Never After by Lynn Painter and next I want to read Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez 😊

[@pradeepthaparules]

I will be Joining Ovation OTS on April 30th, I will see you there, I am from India...

[@williamfitzpatrick4533]

12:48 the black dress was nice, but then, the long green one was breathtaking. Which one did you get?

[@JangoFett-lv2wz]

My vote is for the flowery one at 12:45.👍

[@davehighley9729]

Your videos are wonderful.! I have long wanted to go on an Alaska cruise. Perhaps my son will come with me. He is tall and charming. Super handsome and fit. He was a Marine. His Mom says he is sweet and funny. He shares your happy but practical character.

[@lhollybow]

Ouch my eyes ,,,, the dresses you tried on in Christchurch .... beautiful on you. However I have to say that I am in love with Eva ..... just a natural beauty in and out. Cheers from Vancouver Canada. See ya here in another month.

[@JoshuaChoi-xo3wf]

What island in Hawaii are yall going to?

[@kristinekugler]

Oahu (Honolulu) and Kailua-Kona!

[@meschahayes1003]

What kind of excursion restrictions do you have in your contract? Could you go ziplinning, jet skiing, anything that you could possible get an injury from?

[@kristinekugler]

Technically no, we cannot do iFly/Flowrider on the ship. But when we’re off in port, as long as we’re safe, we still participate in some adventurous activities!

[@meschahayes1003]

@@kristinekugler what would happen if you got injuried off the ship? I follow another girl who hurt her back during a show and had to leave. I just wonder if they would have some kind of breach of contract clause if it happens off ship.

[@88scotteeee]

Is there a big lumber industry in New Zealand? I work in the lumber industry in Maine and noticed the piles of logs outside your bus windows..

[@kristinekugler]

Yes there’s a huge lumber industry in NZ 😊

[@NathanS2022]

[@user-gw4tq6tq2t]

[@kristinekugler]

Yes!

[@user-gw4tq6tq2t]

Wen you come to Auckland next can I meet you

[@user-gw4tq6tq2t]

[@kristinekugler]

French Polynesia & Hawaii, then Alaska!

[@user-gw4tq6tq2t]

Wen are you coming to New Zealand next

[@user-woolfallD]

U look great beautiful here ❤

[@corallie7746]

11:05 oh dear 🤦‍♀️ “Aussie shops”? You’re in New Zealand mate 😅

[@kristinekugler]

I meant that Aus/NZ have a ton of shops that we don’t have in the US or Europe!
