Discovery Princess Sanctuary - Is It Worth The EXTRA COST? Viewing The Hubbard Glacier, Alaska

So in this video we spend the day in the Sanctuary onboard the Discovery Princess. Located on Deck 17, the Sanctuary is a private area at the front of the ship and is available to all guests(18 and above) for a fee depending on how long and what day you choose to use it, but we explain more about that in the video.
We chose to do this as our ship today was sailing to the Hubbard Glacier and we wanted to have the best view available to see this wonderful sight.
Hope you enjoy 😁

Fabulous that you stuck it out just adding more blankets to make the most of the day 😂

[@kathleenyoshida8170]

What a stunning place to have afternoon tea! Sign me up!

[@TravelingTramps]

The "Sanctuary" looks like a lovely viewing/lounge area, Key and Stacey. Seems a little strange to be wearing coats and ear muffs! Lovely plant pots. They will be great once you get back home. Loved spending the day and keep the pots out of the microwave! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi Dave and Kathy thanks for watching as always, hope your both ok. We are travelling again lol and we barely have Internet just the odd time here and there We will catch up with what you've been up to when we get back 😁

[@teresah5318]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Sanctuary while cruising the glaciers in Alaska. Well done video!!

[@craigweightman799]

Kevs face when you got sandwiches and cake was like please stop bringing me food i'm going to pop.😂

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

🤣

[@davesneddon3734]

Excellent! We've done the Sanctuary a few times (in somewhat warmer climes) and absolutely loved it. Great service and a real haven of peace. Hey, maybe that's why it's called The Sanctuary!!! 😉

[@sandraprince1742]

What a way to celebrate your birthday Stacey. It looked amazing

[@katieb9688]

It looks like a perfect day.

[@georgemaltese]

Thank you so much for this video! I have early boarding, I’m going to first thing book the Sanctuary for our day in Glacier Bay. The treats alone are worth it. Looks like you chowed down and had fun. Happy Birthday Stacey. Thank you again!

[@lyndaburton3058]

That looked amazing. Might do a retreat day on Iona.

[@wendywebster-sv2li]

Great video as always guys. We always book the sanctuary on sea days love it in there. Have to say I’ve really enjoyed seeing how Alaska has changed. I first went there 33 years ago when I worked on a ship called the Stardancer. I did Alaska twice. Could not believe how much Ketchikan had grown, it was nothing like that back then not a diamond store in site back then. Looks very commercial from what I’ve seen these days. The scenery still looks spectacular and really that’s what you go for.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Wendy and interesting to hear how it has changed 😀

[@geoffstainforth352]

Another amazing ones guys, I did LOL at some points, good fun ! I'm off to Scandi and Northern Europe on Britannia in a couple of weeks time and you are really getting me exited ! Safe trip !

[@sparkymarky9883]

Hi there, another great video from you both really interesting to watch like I say all the time I do enjoy you put your Richard together. I think it’s great content and very informative. Keep up the good work and I hope you’re well

[@BarryFinch-nx7ku]

Looks like you got on Arvia on Sunday as we got off . We had a great fortnight. Make sure you try 6th st diner and Olive Grove both great . Spoiled ourselves for Dinner and afternoon tea in Epicurean both incredible. Enjoy your cruise.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks Barry, glad you had a great time

[@PaulaHenson-rr8nn]

Fab video guys......love your vlogs x

[@KirstyG64]

Worth going for the grub alone I'd say!

[@lesliereynolds4492]

It makes sense to go to the sanctuary, especially when you have an inside cabin. Nice to have the lounge chairs too. I can’t believe not many people were there. I think I would have tried ordering food up there too. Great vlog, had no idea that’s an option to do. I’ve never seen on anyone else’s vlog. You do have better vlogs though.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Leslie and yes it's abit of a hidden gem that we weren't sure if others knew about

[@jennib11]

Awwwwww so sad you didn't get to see the Northern lights :( I think next bday you should do those globe hotels in Iceland :)

[@sherriedolder900]

Happy Birthday 🎉

[@alisonsmith7695]

sad for you guys that you didn't end up seeing the northern lights but the cut to "of course we didn't" made me really laugh 😂 maybe you'll have some better luck soon. and those soup bowls / flower pots / mugs are so cool as well!

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Haha thanks

[@TonyRodrigues63]

Those blankets even match one of Kev's shirts🤣 for $60 p/p it was justified, next time don't wish for anything, and probably it will happen, just a thought 😊 🤣🤣

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Haha yes they did lol 😆

[@kingkongkingkong1483]

That's roughly the same as the retreat on the Britannia we booked the P&O Britannia retreat when you were on board for 5 days, winter rates £20 per day per person money well spent no kids. The same as you bloody cold so sat in the warm hot tubs most of the time and sat under blanks when we got out. Nearly every day we had a hot tube each, most people in the retreat at any one time 6 couples

[@kathleenleduc5520]

I was on the Discovery for the May 14 sailing! We had a great time! We did see bears but in the Yukon in Skagway. Did they change the itinerary? We went to Dawes Glacier and did not go to Sitka. Love watching your videos!

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi thanks so much and oh not sure about the Intinerary, as far as we know we were always due to go Sitka 😀

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hello you two... Wow, I've not seen any video of people using this areea. $60pp is more than worth it. Like you, I would have been up there as soon as possible and stay until they threw me out, 😂. Great video, sorry about not seeing the northern lights. Do you know if this area is available if you have a suite without a charge? Thank you both, enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi MaryAnn thanks for watching as always and no we didnt see anything anywhere that implied you got to go there at no extra cost if staying in a suite. Not 100% sure though

[@cruisingfanatic]

Love you both ,great video .... how much was it again you never mentioned the price 🙂

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi yes we mentioned it a couple of times

[@DWHC1975]

Well done for staying out all day, certainly got your monies worth but I think I would have wussed out with the cold weather 😂

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Lol we were determined stay and enjoy the views

[@janetbarnes9273]

I've loved all your vlog posts for this trip! We're heading to Alaska on the Discovery Princess this August. Question about the Sanctuary... are the seat backs of the lounge chairs adjustable? Can you make them sit up straighter?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi thanks and yes you could sit right up or lie flat

[@TheTurkman]

Have enjoyed watching this Alaska cruise series. Going on an Alska cruise in September albeit on the Sapphire Princess. Was just wondering did you feel the tint on the windows affected the experience much? As its my main concern particularly changing how photos could come out!

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Ah yes see what you mean. There was a slight blue tint on the window, you can go just out of the Sanctuary and there is clear glass with no tint if you want to take a few pictures where its clear. But didnt ruin the experience for us overall 😁

[@stevelinscome728]

After seeing your video about the Sanctuary, I'm more interested in doing it on my first time cruise to Alaska in September. Before this video, I was not interested in any way. Does Discovery show the outdoor movies at night on the Alaska cruise?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi Steve, yes it did show the outdoor movies at night weather permitted. They did supply blankets as well

[@lesliedavis5323]

What time of year was your cruise to Alaska?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi it was the beginning of May

[@mandykinrade2411]

This cruise looks amazing, but would it be suitable for a wheelchair user.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi yes i think most ships are wheelchair friendly ( we would be very disappointed in them if they weren't) there was plenty of wheelchair users on the princess and we must say the staff seemed to do an excellent job in helping out if it was needed. Sometimes the ramps off the ship can be quite steep and workers would assist with that

[@ninp4890]

Do you prefer princess to p&o, sorry if you have addressed this elsewhere 😊

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Like MSC and P&O but yes would say princess is our favorite so far

[@stephentizard3237]

sorry put thumbs down by mistake so put 2 thumbs up great again i keep saying this but carnt say anything else steve Crewe

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks Steve

[@robynstein8258]

Can you go in and out?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi yes you can come and go as you please

[@petergabell6274]

How much food 😮 wow had your monies worth there, bet you didn't have dinner, or did you 😂

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Haha yes we still had dinner Peter lol
