Great video thank you! We cruised the Wonder last year here in New Zealand, will be cruising on her again in Australia later this year and planning Alaska for 2026 when our son is a little older so he will be able to do more of the excursions. This video was a WonderFul taste of Alaska and helpful for our planning thank you so much!

Great video! On the 2020 Panama Canal cruise that set sail immediately before the Covid lockdowns, Jon Armstrong performed many times for us because we couldn't dock anywhere, even creating new tricks on the spot. He will forever be my favorite DCL entertainer!

Such an amazing holiday. We also did a flight over the Glacier... Was amazing!! (and I got to sit up the front too!)... . The wildlife is so fantastic, that footage you got of the eagle was incredible.. Such a beautiful place!

We've been in Alaska for our first cruise through Carnival Spirit last September 2008. At that time just only pictures memory. But you flew for different scenic views which we did not do when we were there. Good quality view indded.

It sounds like you need to go to Alaska again soon! The aerial views of Alaska are amazing.

[@lumbyfamilyadventures5670]

great video our son has watched this so many times since we found it! Thought it was interesting Sail A Wave was in-between dinner sittings rather than when leaving port!

[@Borhyas78]

I noticed the sail away has been late on an itinerary I saw for this year and now on some videos. I wonder if this is how they are doing it this year? I know there were complaints last year as they had Sail a Wave before they actually departed, maybe this is the solution this year?

[@jjma]

I don't know the actual reason why.. but I don't think it was planned to be at 7:45pm. All the stage props were ready to go during embarkation, but then were taken down shortly before departing. I am going to guess there was some issue where they had to delay it that day. I'm curious if anyone else who was on this sailing knows the reason?

[@lumbyfamilyadventures5670]

In Sydney depending on which cruise terminal it went into depended on what time sail a wave was as one had noise restrictions. We were lucky and got on at the right one where we had sail a wave at the departure time but we also had it finished before we left the dock which I didn’t care about as it was close to our dinner time Maybe they had feedback saying that in between dinner time was preferred! Certainly not my preferred time will be interesting to see when more videos come up if that trend continues

[@Soundscapes09]

Great job!

WOW!!!! Awesome video! If I had any doubts left about an Alaska cruise, you certainly sold me with all the beautiful scenery you captured! Which excursion took you in the cable car?

[@jjma]

Thank you!! Yea Alaska is amazing. There really is nothing like it!! We were provided wristbands included from the Whales & Marine Mammals Cruise port adventure (IS01). you can go on the cable cars whenever you want however many times you want throughout the day. hope that helps!

[@dwl0222]

Great video!! What are your thoughts on the Juneau Glacier Seaplane exploration? I think my family and I would love to do something like that on our trip next year

[@jjma]

Honestly you can't go wrong with any aerial excursion. The Juneau Glacier Seaplane one is very cool because the flight path covers 5 different glaciers all within a 45 min flight. You wouldn't be able to see those glaciers otherwise, so I highly recommend!! Of all the aerial excursions offered through DCL, the Juneau Glacier Seaplane is by far the best bang for buck. There are more expensive ones listed, but a more expensive Port Adventure does not necessarily mean it is better. If i were to do it again, this excursion would be the one.

[@dwl0222]

@@jjmasounds good! Thanks so much for the detailed response. Hopefully I can get that one booked (I’m only a silver cruiser). How was the flight? Was it “smooth”? We’ve never been on a small plane like that lol

[@jjma]

@@dwl0222 for us that one was available until just days before the sail date. In general for Juneau, the ones that sell out first are the Dog Sled and Glacier Walking excursions (both by helicopter).

[@jamesabner6410]

It was fun last year

[@jjma]

Would you ever do it again? I learned the experience can radically change simply from daily weather conditions.

[@nicwilliams7076]

Amazing work and beautiful videography!!! Question, how do you get the Timelapse’s of the sailing away as well as the maintenance areas of the ship? Do you have a list of devices you use?? Awesome job again!

[@jjma]

Hey there! Thanks! Timelapse is pretty simple. The ship has a public area on deck 10 up front. Just clamp it somewhere and push record. The maintenance area, where the anchors are suspended, are a public area at the forward section of the deck 4 promenade walking path. It's only closed down when the anchors are in use. Otherwise, anyone can see it! I can put a list of devices I used in the description section. a lot of people have been asking that. 80% of the video was shot on iPhone.

[@nicwilliams7076]

@@jjma that’s great information!! With the clamp, do you worry about people taking that or is it that nobody notices it? Also, we’re those nature shots with iPhone, because those were amazing!! If so, which iPhone model?

[@jjma]

@@nicwilliams7076 Oh no, the nature shots required higher zoom that the iPhone 14 wasn't capable of. For those, i used a Canon r5 (are you able to tell the difference?) Regarding the timelapses, that is just with a gopro. it will be seen depending on where you place it. in general it's always good to stick around near your devices just in case anything happens!

[@vincentnnyc]

How much was this cruise?

[@jjma]

that entirely depends on the season and what port excursions are booked. At a minimum, you are looking at around $2000 USD per person.

[@heikohaesler5198]

Great Video! But i wont spend Money for this!!!

Thanks for watching! I'm sure it's not everyone's type of trip. I promise it was fun though!

[@mobileplayers5008]

Big shipneed a lot of solar power to get it going. Probably costs billions to own one.

[@jjma]

@@mobileplayers5008 no solar power on these. That’d be insane though 🤯

[@ktitus54]

As an Alaskan, this reconfirms that I will Never take a cruise. I take my personal boat down Gastineau Channel and these ships are inconsiderate with the wakes they produce nearly sinking my boat. It would be nice if they had a no wake zone for these floating cities. I travel up Tracy/Endicott and come around a corner in my small 20 foot boat and once again there is a giant wake nearly swamping me. Come on, be considerate. Pretty unfriendly and dangerous to others for Disney.

[@jjma]

Really sorry to hear about your experience with the bigger ships. Alaska has a stunning landscape, unlike any other in the US. As someone from the East coast, this trip was an incredible privilege to see the raw nature of this young state. My hope is that everyone would have the opportunity to be able to experience and truly appreciate Alaska, however I am also a firm believer that it should never be at the expense of the locals. Hopefully the state authorities and the cruise companies can work out something that would be fair. You live in an amazing state, and I would never advocate for disruptions to occur like that.

[@TravelTime1991]

Eh looks ok. Not worth the price

[@jjma]

I promise it was a blast of an experience! But totally understand it may not be for everyone. I will say though that Alaska is an amazing destination to see.

Oh nice how fun! Yeah. If you want the schedule BEFORE the cruise, I heard from some people that if you call in DCL directly, they can provide the schedule over the phone. I've never done it myself though. Otherwise, the entire cruise schedule will be available on the DCL app upon connecting to the ship's wifi. There you will see the schedule for all of the shows for the week, along with the menus and dining table assignments for the entire week. I hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!!

all plane rides were included in this package or you paid them separately. how much were your cruise package and plane rides

[@jjma]

Hi! The plane rides were not included in the base fare. Those excursions are operated by third party companies, and Disney will get allocations for guests to purchase those excursions. - 5 Glacier Plane Ride Juneau - $369 USD per person - Taku Glacier Helicopter + Airboat - $939 USD per person - Misty Fjords Seaplane - $569 USD per person The excursions in Alaska are very expensive due to high insurance costs of operating the airplanes/helicopters.
