Exploring Victoria British Columbia | Whale Watching | My Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruise Review!!

[@PCDev]

Thank you all so much for the support and love throughout this cruise series! We will film a trip recap video for next week and if you have any questions that I didn't answer yet feel free to leave me a comment and I will try my best to get it answered during that Q&A video. See you in the next one!

[@kimymarie596]

Hope you enjoyed BC. The east coast of Canada is also a great destination. Something to look into for the future?

[@anitagraham25]

Dev I am looking for a Disney from item that has been retired, can you help me, with a replacement.

[@anitagraham25]

I also hope one day you and Biana go take a Royal Caribbean cruise to Bermuda and explore the the island. I took my daughter Sabrina, sister Sheryl and my dad there after my mom died. And a year later my dad wanted to go back because he enjoyed it so much. It was a smaller ship out of NYC 7 days, but you can get something out of Florida.

[@TMB62]

Canada is beautiful ❤️

[@lynniec]

As a Canadian I highly recommend a whale watching tour, they are excellent at what they do and will definitely see whales.

[@carolinecaiger6717]

Thank you for coming to Victoria ♥️ You are always welcome!

[@breemcintyre5271]

Leaving on our first cruise to Alaska on Sunday. So glad you loved my hometown of Victoria ❤

[@billybob7088]

So Lucky to see Orca's off the ship

[@kesha2011ful]

Can’t wait to watch this after work.

[@mattsnow6720]

Thank Dev! I have been following you for a while now, and this Alaska cruise series was the best yet. You made the trip look so fun that I ended up booking the same trip on the Quantum of the Seas for July 2024. It's my first cruise, and will be a great way to celebrate my 40th birthday. We booked a Sky Loft suite since we will be traveling with children, it should give us plenty of space to spread out, plus sky suite perks, like priority disembarkation at all ports. I appreciate you guys taking the time on your vacations to show us your experiences. You and Bianca are a really great couple and seem so fun. I can't wait for more of this content from you. Keep it up. Thanks!

[@trdrav4]

Haven't been to Victoria in awhile...still a beautiful place

[@tamara1022]

Definitely go back to see Victoria and Vancouver. So much to see. The gardens are beautiful! There is a nod to those gardens in Epcot’s Canada Pavilion.

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

Alaska was so beautiful. I’m grateful you took us along for the voyage.

[@animatorbrent]

Nice to see you in B.C.! Whale watching in bc is awesome, highly recommend it. Full pod of Orcas swimming under your small boat is unforgettable.

[@Halivan]

I think this Alaska Cruise series was my favourite of your videos so far! Thanks for doing these videos. I’m Canadian living on the mainland in Vancouver. I’m glad your first Canadian visit was a good one, despite it being so short. You should explore the Maritimes (east coast of Canada). It so picturesque there.

[@rondaw.2295]

Hello from Victoria! Glad you enjoyed your quick visit and your cruise.

[@linda2391]

the gardens...beautiful

[@rj4356]

So glad you two had an awesome time! For your next Alaska cruise, try Princess or Holland America! You'll definitely get an up close & personal look at the Glaciers. Luckily, you did not experience the poor air quality in Canada right now. If you're into fishing & more nature oriented, take a cruisetour! Fishing in Kenai River was absolutely amazing, & seeing bears nearby bask in salmon fishing is incredible! 🥰

[@lryan0382]

Dev - we absolutely LOVE your videos … initially I was a little slower to watch your videos however you have become my favorite KZbinr to watch. I love how informative you are in your videos. Keep up the good work and keep us entertained. 😊

[@lindsay_ann4201]

Really enjoyed watching your Alaska videos, thank you for bringing us along the journey. Definitely going to do one of these trips over the next couple of years. Love how your content differs from the usual vloggers doing the same thing going to Disney every single day. It’s refreshing to watch something completely different.

[@joanmoore3018]

We were in Victoria in September and loved it. Can't wait to go back!

[@cathybarber2624]

Welcome to Victoria 😀 Marble slab creamery was a good choice for ice cream 🍨 Hope you can come back and spend a few days sometime in future. We just did our first Alaska cruise out of Vancouver on Ruby Princess in mid July and had very good weather. We loved our cruising day in Glacier Bay National Park day which we highly recommend you try to get on your next Alaska cruise. Princess and Holland America have been cruising Alaska for a long time and more often able to add Glacier Bay in their itineraries. All the best!

[@katewebber1131]

Live half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast QLD Australia, and see heaps of whales every year, mums and babies. They migrate and we see them travelling to the mating grounds. Never get sick of seeing them.

[@careyanglemyer4893]

Thank you for the great, honest & beautifully filmed Alaska cruise videos. I know you all will try another AK cruise in the future.

[@genageeraert8039]

Welcome to Canada. Victoria is so beautiful was there last year.

[@JoyMonkeOfficial]

Very amazing vid! Cruise looks amazing.

[@tarabaillie7115]

I can’t believe you passed on the Skor and Smarties McFlurries! Skor is the best 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 🇨🇦

[@marjielalonde3875]

I live about an hour up island from Victoria, you really do need more time there. Vancouver Island has so much to offer I really hope you can come back!

[@jolenecreech7648]

Smaller ships definitely have a one-up when cruising the fiords. Your cruise did look fantastic though. Thanks 🙏 for sharing.

[@iluvcruising]

Very nice series. Glad it turned out so well for you all. Thanks for taking us along. I’d love to talk about planning a group cruise for your community. I think people would really enjoy cruising with you and Bianca.

[@cathybarber2624]

Welcome to Victoria 😀 Marble slab creamery was a good choice for ice cream 🍨 Hope you can come back and spend a few days sometime in future, all the best!

[@luckycanuck]

Come visit Victoria again. So much more to see. The snow capped mountains across the water that you saw was Port Angeles in Washington.

[@amyhenderson812]

Thank you for your videos! We are headed to Quantum in a few weeks and have been binge watching in the TV. ❤

[@willapanzer4233]

Great videos - so helpful as we hop on Quantum for the first time on Monday! Thank you!

[@ThatsMrsApriltou]

Thanks for sharing your trip. We definitely would love to do Alaska cruise one day. I hear that Princess cruises have great ships for Alaska.

[@stacisundell8773]

I’ve followed your KZbin for years for DISNEYWORLD content! Welcome to our neck of the woods, Victoria BC

[@marianbrinley4389]

I have loved this Alaska cruise series!! ❤❤❤

[@jospencer5632]

Hey there, love your videos!! Thank you! I'll be going on a smaller RC Ship next year....Brilliance of the Seas. So excited!

[@debkrutsch6197]

Your cruise looked amazing! I have put it in my bucket list after seeing your videos!

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I am having so much fun watching these cruise vlogs

[@1969slater]

Victoria is home glad you liked it. The mountains you referred to a few times are called the Olympic Mountains located in the US.

[@anniee.r.6983]

I enjoyed today's video and did give it a BIG thumbs up! 😄👍🏽 I now wanna book an Alaskan cruise ☺

[@ilsehunt6798]

It’s a shame you didn’t have more time in British Columbia, fantastic that you saw the pod of killer whales! Great vlog

[@amjoyful6057]

Wonderful series! My son boards Quantum this Monday so I told him about your vlog. Hope you grabbed a bag of Starbucks Pike RESERVE coffee at #1. it’s next level! Alaska is my fav cruise destination (2x) never gets old. I’ve never cruised RC...bucket list! Thanks you two!

[@michaelgiyer6778]

Sorry to hear about your motion sickness. Glad u had a great time at Alaska and canada

[@toystar007]

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the videos of your Alaskan Cruise. They were beautiful. Thank you for filming

[@dorothytokarczyk2644]

Thank you both for the great info. I believe we will try a small ship excursion.

[@terrorbulyfe]

I’ve said it last weeks comment, but you really need to check out Glacier Bay, the White Pass railroad tour in Skagway. Or even a cruise tour that starts on a ship, then a train ride through Denali, then ends at a few days stay at a lodge. But Glacier Bay…❤❤❤

[@ceoa]

Oh what a wonderful tour! Thanks so much, I need to check out some of these things! Glad you and Bianca got to go. 🚢

[@kathleenford1929]

I agree Dev and Bianca, these videos from this cruise have been so amazing!

[@melanieknight4503]

Really enjoyed this series Dev and Bianca, thank you for sharing your special trip with us, can't wait to see what trip you do next, so glad you had a great time ❤❤❤

[@kathysutler90]

We took an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago and absolutely LOVED it. We went Princess with the land/sea option. Left from Vancouver and when we got to Whittier (Anchorage) departed on the railway into Denali NP for 4 days. No doubt in my mind I would do this again. The land portion was even more amazing than the cruise... Definitely try that next time!

[@Mary_305]

Great content on Alaska cruise can't wait to visit . I went to fisherman's wharf in San Francisco and the food was a good . Thanks for sharing.

[@allisonmatheney8115]

These were great videos. Loved them so much.

[@carosadventures3253]

You were in my stomping grounds! You must go back to Victoria as you hardly saw anything.

[@dominiquedixon3350]

Hey Dev & Bianca Thank you both for sharing your the Alaskan Cruise 🚢 Absolutely beautiful 😍 Alaska is on my bucket list!!! Now back to theme parks!!!😅

[@ae4xo]

Leaving for this cruise on Sunday

[@davidjumper75]

You mentioned about checking out another cruise line in your video. We just returned from Alaska this past June on the Norwegian Bliss and the biggest complaint I had with them was our short port times. Just keep that under consideration when you plan on checking around for other cruise lines. Besides that, really enjoy watching your videos.

[@dougieallison6537]

Dev an outstanding series bro from alaska am so glad you and bianca had a ball brilliant as videos were amazing used deserved it my friend thanks for sharing

[@epicgameztv]

When you sail from Vancouver they usually take the Georgia Straight so your sheltered by Vancouver Island on one side the the BC mainland on the other. Maybe your next Visit try leaving from Vancouver, But give yourself a few days to visit Vancouver. Ships from Seattle have to port in a Canadian Port even if its only for 1 hour.

[@adamblack1277]

Crazy! Been watching your vids for years and from Victoria,BC small world.

[@katie7639]

Thank you for all the amazing, helpful videos during your trip! We've been looking at taking this exact cruise next year and these videos gave us the push to book it!!🎉 countdown is on!🙌

[@cgavin40]

Dev I love all your vlogs but this series was your best to date. I loved that you spent lots of time just enjoying the beautiful scenery right from your room. Note to self: you need a veranda for an Alaskan cruise! Thank you Dev for the beautiful videos. You can tell you and Bianca had the best time and were also full of joy and so relaxed. Thank you❤️

[@Thesquidgee84]

I would love to see you do a series visiting Toronto and our cedar fair park (canadas wonderland)

[@marycoolman6811]

I think you are an excellent reviewer! Thank you- I am sailing the Quantum the end of August. My love to you and Bianca!

[@PCDev]

Have fun Mary! I appreciate the support.

[@kayajackson50]

I have thoroughly enjoyed the videos from your Alaskan cruise. Thanks so much for sharing and making my days better ❤️

[@gingernickel1556]

You two are the best

[@Pattirose52]

Laughing because I was on the Solstice which was the ship next to yours. I saw the same orcas from our ship! We did go on the Zodiac whale watching tour. It was awesome! Saw a mom and baby humpback too on the tour. You should try the Zodiac is you ever get a chance. We did the same itinerary as you too. Weather not so great but some beautiful 🌅 sunsets

[@JacqAmman]

I love that you got some Big Turk bars! I’m half Canadian and that’s a childhood favorite, that and Coffee Krisp! Thanks for the absolutely incredible vlog. My husband and I will definitely try this in the future.

[@honeymcdonald9120]

Don't forget the later in the year you pick the less ice in the sea and less snow on the mountains. I can really recommend Seabourne. Such a beautiful small ship experience and on their 14 day cruise every other day is cruising.

[@brendatori1869]

An Alaskan cruise is on my bucket list!!!

[@stephensherrill9237]

Did Ovation last Aug in Alaska. We had sun everyday and lived in t shirts. Lol we took a lot of cold clothes and used hardly any of them..oh well. They did say it was the first cruise with that much sun. Can't wait to go back on a smaller ship next time for the same reasons as yours...just to crowded.

[@marianbrinley4389]

You will have to check out the 2 week land/cruise option! That is a lot of fun, we did that 18 years ago, but went in July/August! So much fun!

[@laurendurfee1816]

Love you guys and you both deserve all the love and support in the world!! Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures with us!!

[@christine5278]

I thoroughly enjoyed these videos and it was *almost* like I was there right along with you all. Thanks for sharing your experience and an Alaskan cruise is now a must do for myself and my family. Also glad you enjoyed your stop in Canada! 🎉

[@evnkas]

Cool to see you in my neck of the woods! Lived in Victoria for three years, but in Vancouver now. Come on back out and visit both cities!

[@seancarpenter4759]

When I went to Alaska last year on Norwegian Encore Cruise, our ship left on July 31.

[@markconrad5901]

Dev, I enjoyed your vids. We just got back from the same cruise. Both me and my wife came home sick. We tested for Covid and were positive. It wasn’t too bad but there were a lot of sick folks on the ship.

[@beingmarilyngail8470]

I went whale watching in Cabo. It was exciting.

[@gracelopez3411]

Thank you Dev and Bianca for taking us with you on this fabulous cruise. I really want to go now to Alaska.

[@luciewoods273]

I would recommend Holland America. Older crowd but the food is great. Also, they have smaller ships. I haven’t cruised post COVID but they have always been great

[@frankpercival]

Thanks for sharing. Victoria is about 3 hours by ferry from Seattle where I am, and the best sightseeing area is around Parliament Building just off the port. Your day 6 seasick experience is common as you were crossing the Strait of Wanda Fuka which is between Seattle and Canada. It is always a rough sailing. Royal Caribbean doesn’t seem to have the greatest reputation. Disney though very expensive offers excellence and superb dining.

[@foreverhope25]

I’m so sad to see this cruise come to an end. I enjoyed every minute and thank you for sharing!

[@pattygrooms5412]

Thanks for taking us on your adventures.

[@juniperdog5523]

Cool that you visited my home province. Sad that the cruise line didn’t give you much time.

[@kimdalti7732]

👍so glad you had a wonderful time👍🎉

[@annetteestilow4594]

We did an Alaskan cruise inAugust. The weather may have been a little better than you had, but it was still cold, foggy and rainy. The one difference that stands out was the salmon we’re running in every stream that we came across. Too bad you couldn’t do Skagway and Klondike Gold Rush National Park….you’ll just have to go back!!! Great video series Dev!!!

[@brianb2837]

Hey Dev and Bianca! The adventure continues! This really has been a truly incredible trip with all the amazing scenery you have seen! Its been awesome and that food and whiskey at Garrick’s looked so good! And being someone who used to goto McDonalds Canada a lot, lol. They have poutine at McDonalds too. And Coffee Crisp candy bars are the best!

[@susangraby7262]

Thank you Dev and Bianca for your wonderful videos. They have become my favorites! I’ll be sailing with my family on Quantum to Alaska in August. The same itinerary as you. I really appreciate your insights.

[@ciadaclark9110]

I have been loving the vlogs

[@chrishamlin2942]

New to your channel. Awsome content, you do alot of things my wife an I do.Going to Alaska in a week...Garrick's Pub is for sure stop!

[@nicoleashley8235]

We went to Victoria this past December for the first time and it’s one of our favorites now!! You have to go back and stay at the empress fairmont. It’s amazing

[@keisha4620]

Thanks for sharing.

[@noraw8955]

What a fantastic trip! Alaska is definitely on my bucket list. I think I will take your advice and go a little later in the season. So happy you two enjoyed yourselves! ❤

[@ablueblood100]

Thank you for sharing your Alaskan cruise with us. I would look into a repositioning cruise to from the US to Victoria BC or Vancouver then either take the cruise to Alaska or flyback from Canada or cross the border to Seattle and fly back.

[@truigrunland6817]

Were on the QOTS last september on the same cruise. Started in Seattle, after a long flight from Germany, it was extremely hot there! On our cruise we had just the same weather as you in Alaska. But, as my son says, it wouldnt have been right having sunshine whole day! However we had a great time and enjoyed every day exploring Alaska. Memories came back watching your video! We loved Victoria, the sun came out again!

[@sarahr6285]

We took our Alaska cruise in July a few years ago.

[@stevebaker9346]

Have really enjoyed the videos of your cruise! We will be on the Quantum OTS in September. Thank for bringing us along!!

[@cathybarber2624]

So nice to see you made it to Victoria, our hometown 😊Marble Slab creamery is a great choice! Sorry you didn’t have longer stay. Hubby and I are doing our first Alaska cruise in July 2024 on Princess with Glacier Bay National Park included - something you may want to consider next time.

[@drinkinginthenorthwest893]

We live in Seattle and would have loved to meet u guys. That said you should join my wife and I next sept 2024 on Carnival 15 day Seattle to Hawaii and back. That will be relaxing and amazing. Think about it

[@shopper5969]

Happy Thursday! ❤what a blessing journey. I had enjoyed all the videos so much.❤❤ Thanks Dev and Bianca for sharing your vacation. ❤❤

[@CN-wm6ej]

I went to Alaska in July last year on Cunard and that was a great time to go and a great cruise line to take. It was a longer cruise (went from Vancouver up to Skagway and down to San Francisco; 13 days altogether) but it hit more ports (Sitka, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan along with two glacier days) and we spent all day in Victoria and Vancouver. I'm sorry you weren't able to go to Skagway - that was my favorite port, especially the White Pass & Yukon Route train. Just something to consider. Great videos of your trip, though!
