I have a small group of KZbin channels that I follow, including this one (of course!) I’ve just commented on another channel - it amazes me the high standard of content that is produced and edited by one person for whom this is often not their main job. Give me this over what the likes of the BBC and ITV churn out any day

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

Agreed! I do think this is his job now, but I appreciate the quality as there are so many other channels that aren’t as good but have similar (ish) success.

@trektrendy, I am so thrilled you include your parents with you on your trip to Alaska! I cannot think of a better way to celebrate and honor your parents. I lost both my parents far too soon (2017 for mom, 2021 for dad) so cherish these special moments (which I know you do). Great video!

[@BeautifulRebel629]

After finishing the video in full, there is nothing to indicate that this was a “lux” experience for the price point. For $14k USD, you should not have to pay for any extra add ons at all.

[@happycook6737]

Exactly my thoughts too.

[@BeautifulRebel629]

@@happycook6737 IMO his Virgin and Queen Mary cruises seemed much better.

[@stevene465]

Absolutely no additional payment should be required

[@Ballroot84]

Obviously never been on a cruise 😂 everything is extra. Been on Virgin myself, and it was amazing. Only thing you pay for is alcohol and excursions. Even with the alcohol, they run a 'free' bar credit of $600 most of the time anyway

[@ourtvchannel]

A serious marketing blunder here, awful experience given the cost. Truly moronic to ask for extras from someone who has already paid top prices. No idea why this is even top quality, having been on many Cunard cruises this doesn't appear to come close on any level .

[@FraserAtSea]

I spent 21 nights with Holland America mid December, as part of my plan to spend 10 months last year living on cruise ships (as a passenger). Their cruise product is just so beautiful - the onboard experience is excellent. The key difference in our cruise experience is that I was in an inside cabin down on Deck 1 - much more basic than your experience here, but I really enjoyed it!

[@lesflynn4455]

It's very nice how he invites his folks along when Millie is unavailable. There's not enough of this going on nowadays. Well done mate.

My friend, you convinced me to book this cruise. Did it last night. Booked for my birthday in May this year. Pinnacle suite was sold out, so I chose the Neptune suite. Thank you for your videos. I hope to see you get to 1 million subscribers in 2024!!!

[@MrLasty12]

Another excellent video. At a time where luxury travel like this is unlikely for most, it's enjoyable to watch from the comfort of a living room. It's great to see you sharing these experiences with your parents Will!

[@sunshinedaisy9879]

Hi Will, you’re such a good son, offering your sweet parents the bedroom! Way to honor them!

[@ChuckHolland-i4b]

I've been on many cruises, but Holland America was hands down the best. I won a 7 day eastern carribean cruise for two and a charity benefit silent auction. Completely unexpected. What we experienced from end to end was nothing short of amazing. From the rooms, to preparation, food, entertainment, crew/passenger interaction. It was a highlight reel for my life, that's for sure. Only downside, it was mostly older senior citizens, old school blue hairs from New York. They were pretty stuffy and obnoxious.

[@norayancey4282]

Will disagree about stuffy New Yorkers unless they are from downstate. We live in real NYS and NOTHING stuffy about us. HAL does trend older but we are seeing a shift.

[@ChuckHolland-i4b]

Alaska is a fantastic cruise destination. Incredible natural beauty. This was an excellent video Will! Cheers 🥂

[@Ginasgusa]

We just got off the same ship. Very nice and I enjoy my cruise. The food is excellent! We didn’t pay any extras for meals. The dinning room and buffets are excellent. Nothing to complain. We did the Christmas cruise, there are 3 dressy night. The crew performed and sang. Such a great treat! .We did not eat at the specialty dinning coz the dinning room served some fine dinning and yummy dinner. No reason to pay extra. We already booked our next cruise to Norway with Holland America. Holland America balcony room is very nice. Def going for balcony if doing warm weather cruise.

[@itsnotme07]

Both parents!! Gotta love that!! So cool you do this Will and for sure it's expensive...but they are your parents...they should be spoiled once in a while. I offered to take/pay for a trip or two with my Dad and Step-Mom, but sadly they never accepted. My Mom on the other hand...let's GO! Haha. Maybe that's where I get my travel bug? We didn't travel far, but cool trips to Reno, NV and Lake Tahoe were awesome! The Reno trip was paid for by Peppermill Casino...HA! 50 cents in the slot.....BIG WINNER! Loved that one for sure! Bummer Millie couldn't get the time off. She's awesome and adds to your reviews!

[@Gman-109]

Wow, great to see BOTH your parents with you. I found this channel about a year ago when I was stuck in hospital with a busted up leg for 13 days, and watching the catalogue of videos was a godsend for me, as I have always been a traveler for both work and fun. Thumbs up on this vid, a cruise is in the cards for late 2024 for us.

Agreed. It must be an awfully hard decision to make which trips she wants to go on during the year.

[@CanyonWanderer]

Very nice to watch. BTW, I noticed your suite is called "Willem Barentz". It is named after the Dutch explorer that after making an atlas of the Mediterranean went on to try to find a Northern route to Asia. This lead him and his crew to Nova Zembla etc. Mind you this was around 1594 and onwards, so different conditions to be sure 🙂

[@BeautifulRebel629]

I really love that you share these experiences with your loved ones. Happy New Year Will. Really looking forward to seeing your travels this year.❤

It’s so cute that you take your mom and dad on your adventures I literally love them and you. Bless you and your family!

[@Daniel-mc3hm]

Some humble advice: I think a lot of what people want to see is just more luxury in general not just planes and stuff, and these are a great step in that direction! In the future you can try hotels or other luxury experiences.

[@rachelparkervarner]

Can't wait to watch this - your channel is one of the few I watch every new video. Thank you for all your hard work - as a youtuber I know how much work it is! Tell your mom I loved her green dress! Your parents must be so proud of you.

Hello and happy new year. I don't expect you'd imagined your videos to be something of a life saver, but for me they have been. Husband and I love to travel but got sidelined recently with medical issues. So while recovery takes place, I find much-need refuge and escape at the end of the day in your videos. They and you are so charming, and I've been thoroughly enjoying my armchair adventures. Till we can travel again, I crack open my mini bottle of champagne from the local grocery store and travel along with you and your family. Thanks!

[@charaleebaviera5789]

I’ll never be able to afford something as luxurious as the cruises and trips that you go on, but it’s nice to see what it looks like. You are a very good son the time that you spent with your parents, you will cherish for the rest of your life and the memories that you’ve given them is wonderful I just lost my father and my mother is 83 and although we don’t go on cruises together, we do spend a lot of time together and I just cherish it.

[@Unazaki]

Looks like a great cruise overall! Not sure I appreciate Holland America's seemingly deliberate strategy to suppress the quality of the buffet food to try and upsell the speciality dining option so much though, even if I can see why they would do it.

[@leonardordel92]

I did this cruise and the buffet food was amazing! It was a fam trip with Holland and I saw how everything was cooked. It's a luxury brand they dont need to do that!

[@Unazaki]

@@leonardordel92 Oh that is surprising to hear! I didn't realise Holland America is a luxury cruise line. I thought they were more of a Premium Cruise Line like Cunard. Noted on the food though! Perhaps taste is more individual. Did u try any of the speciality dining options? If so, was it a lot better than the buffet spread?

[@mustwereallydothis]

My thoughts exactly. I don't mind the idea of specialty restaurants where one goes in knowing there will be an upcharge for all the food and the experience as a whole. I find it very distateful that all of the restaurants upcharge for the dishes that most people would prefer to order. For the amount he paid for that cruise, there are many, far more luxurious and entertaining vacation options out there with more world class dining options than one can possibly exhaust.

[@vickiladu6755]

What a GORGEOUS Suite you had! Would this cruise cost even more in the summer months?

@@vickiladu6755 I didn't cruise this. Did u mean to direct this question more to Trek Trendy? O.o

[@hjp2256]

I would sign up for this cruise every season! Even though I'm not usually a fan of cruising, I think the Inland Passage is the smoothest option, and I love all the natural wonders along the way. If funds were available, your suite looks fantastic! Thank you once again for taking me along on your terrific journey!

Wish i could have seen more of the nature, whale watching, glaciers. That is what makes Alaska cruises special. Otherwise, it is yet another big fancy ship.

[@shia8282]

Thank you for this amazing content. I've watched several clips. I have to say I really love that you bring one or both of your parents!!! So sweet!!

[@Marmelder]

I’ve never commented on one of his videos even though I love to see how the elite travel and eat. The only part of his videos that is normally boring is the food portion which is disappointing because that’s usually my favorite part of cruise videos. I find them boring because he usually chooses the same thing, beef, champagne, caviar and diet soda. It was a pleasant surprise to see him eating something different for a change, bravo! I hope he switches up his choices a bit more often. I also enjoyed seeing what his mom ate as a vegetarian. So I would say this has been one of his better videos. I really enjoyed it.

[@leonardordel92]

plus the snobby comments about the buffet area.

[@simones-lf7ss]

I have sailed on this line and I totally agree with those comments. My partner ate buffet once in 6 days. I passed. Just as nice in the dining room but served at our table. Sure there aren't 9 bazillion items to choose from, but it's also quieter and much less crowded. An easy trade off decision for us.

[@michellesartori6695]

Oh, I try hard not to be envious of others, but the ship, suite, amazing food, helicopter rides, glaciers, a jacuzzi and Alaska itself somewhere I'd love to visit, so while I'm not drooling on the floor with my tongue hanging down out of my mouth, I am just a little bit jealous! I wish one of MY five children would take ME on a luxury cruise one day! It's just lovely to see your mum and dad with you this time, and hopefully, we'll see Millie on a cruise or another adventure somewhere soon! Happy New Year! I want to see you and your family, and I can't wait to see what you'll be bringing us in 2024! Take care now from country NSW Australia.

Seems you weren’t too keen on the HAL food offerings. Looking forward to your next adventure ❤️✈️🎆🥂

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks for watching and a happy new year to you :) I did feel quite let down by the inclusive food offering on HAL, but the room was lovely and it was overall better value than a Royal Caribbean cruise. I just wish cruises would stop with the constant upsell aha

[@dianeschroeder3980]

@@Trektrendy Just a booking tip for Royal Caribbean: I do believe you were in a loft suite before, and those need to be booked anywhere from a year to a year and a half out to get the best price. I think you paid almost double of what I normally pay for a loft suite.

[@nathanlane9786]

Another fantastic video as always. Out of curiosity, what kind of special equipment do you use to get some of these shots? Do you use a drone? Do you have to get special permission/access from the ship for a proper vantage point? Perhaps it’s a lot easier than I realize.

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks so much for watching. I use an insta360 camera, never a drone as there aren’t allowed.

[@TheRiverPirate13]

Video editing and video shots are all first rate Will! I've never seen what a Holland America cruise ship looks like inside so you did a nice job of giving a feel of what it is like. Holland America doesn't sail too often from Florida. The video shot of the main theatre stage suggests a much older crowd sails on this ship too. I was sort of surprised the ship wasn't more luxurious though nice to see Caviar and Dom served. Alaska looks amazing. One of these days soon I'll take an Alaskan Cruise!
