I’ve been following your family through Alaska as I’m going in September this year and I have to say I’m completely blown away by your lovely family. You are now my favourite video people to follow. Thank you for your very positive, happy videos and insight.

I was one of the comics on the Bliss through glacier bay much of 2018-2019. I’ve been on many NCL cruises, this is by far the best cruise. It’s always beautiful, but earlier in the year there is by far more snow and makes it even more beautiful. One great way to see a lot of wild life, go to the gym on the top deck and go for a walk in on the treadmill. As you’re there for 30 or so minuets, you’ll see so many whales, and other sea life all around you below.

Hi guys. This cold Alaskan video really warms my heart. Not because you are a loving family enjoying nature together but because you are a loving family exploring and enjoying this most wonderful state of the USA. Your country. I am not a resident of the US and many people I have met over the years who are seem not to realise how beautiful the US is. Not only the contrast between the state's but the contrast between the people who live in the many states.

When we did our first ever cruise it was Alaska and we were advised to get a balcony and have never not had one since. We both still maintain it is the best place to sightsee where ever we cruise because in areas like Alaska / Norway you cruise one way in, one way out so you get to see both sides from your balcony.

Having a balcony is a must for Alaska; however, you should still check out the bow for a little bit. You are closer to the glacier and can see/hear the calving a lot better and get some amazing photos of the ship/glacier as it turns :)

hi Guys. Here's a funny story about my trip to ALASKA on my first cruise The ship pulled about a mile away from the glacier. It was cold because of the wind coming off the glacier. I had a parka, jeans and sweat pants on and was still cold but didn't care because they served rum coffee. lol. We waited all-day for some of the glaciers to calve but they never did. There were 2 ships in the bay and they were blowing the horns trying to get the glacier to fall but it never did. At about 6 pm the captain announced that it was dinner time and that we had to leave. Everyone went inside for dinner, except for myself and 2 other people. Just as the ship turned and a huge chunk of glacier calved off. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT SAW IT. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. on the way into the glaciers, we saw some seals sitting on the bergs in the water. I swore i saw one of them wave at me. I asked the lady next to me if she saw it too and she said yes. I thought I was really going crazy. lol.
