Fantastic scenery...think Alaska has just been added to my bucket list. And that band are amazing 👏

[@andyandkirstie]

It really is! They are!

[@SusanTaylor-qe8kj]

Thank you so much. We’ve really enjoyed watching your last holiday on Marella was amazing 😊

[@jollyrob]

Looked like a perfect day to me! I would've loved that train ride and the band was right up my street 🤟

[@andyandkirstie]

It was a great day. The band were superb!

[@marykehoe8294]

Many thanks for sharing. What spectacular scenery you saw today. And you brought us along.

[@andyandkirstie]

Our pleasure!

[@randymcgill7981]

Thanks for the multiple clips of the band....we are sailing in Sept and have heard the band is onboard for the entire Alaskan season

[@andyandkirstie]

Have a great time! The band were fantastic!

[@davedunne4768]

Hi guys,great vlog....beautiful place,beautiful scenery,on my bucket list!👍

[@andyandkirstie]

You should definitely go!

[@jonesboy201]

That train journey was absolutely stunning. Your channel is so different from the other, bigger cruise channels on KZbin. There’s no airs and graces about you guys. Just down to earth and a lovely couple. Keep the videos coming.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks so much! As much as we like to hear everyone enjoying our videos, we don't film them for other people and we're not chasing subscribers, think maybe that's the difference.

[@alphabetti2244]

We did this trip in 2009,absolutely amazing trip! Highly recommended!

[@FrancoisD551]

Andy, Kirstie. What a beautiful presentation. High quality images, great musical score selection. Very enjoyable viewing. … And you got to go to Canada 🇨🇦 my beautiful country. Well done you!

[@andyandkirstie]

Many thanks! We loved Canada! 🇨🇦

[@viviennekenyon2306]

❤❤ fabulous views, train a great option. Feel an Alaskan trip coming on .........thank you both xx

[@andyandkirstie]

Our pleasure!

[@Brokenalice]

Fun day! I really enjoyed the band too! Thank you for including their set!

[@andyandkirstie]

The band were awesome!

[@granthanham9082]

I'm doing exact same trip in a months time. Love the Koningsdam . Kirstie has such a great smile , can't fake that , lol. Great vlogs.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! Have fun on you're trip!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Loved the text popping up pretending to know what you are talking about! The railway excursion looked fabulous, stunning scenery, great music choice too. Love your use of frigging too!

[@andyandkirstie]

We never know what we're talking about 😆 I did want to swear a lot on that cruise and friggin' was better than the alternative!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

@@andyandkirstie LOL true! Did sound like the buffet and MDR were literally like a bun fight!

[@andyandkirstie]

@Paul and Carole Love to Travel Yeah it was a bit. We like a peaceful and relaxed dining experience, especially in the MDR, but it was a bit rushed and always so loud!

[@grahambell5865]

Fantastic vlog Andy and Kristie!! brilliant views it looks amazing the band was pretty good as well!! keep up the excellent work!! your vlogs are very exciting and very interesting😊

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks so much!!

[@Schenkerflyingv]

Great vlog as usual. Reminds me a lot of British Columbia which I toured back in the 90’s

[@heatherwathan3746]

Makes me want to go even more, train journey looked wonderful!! Looking forward to the next video 😊

[@peteiswriteingnow]

Looks like you are being lucky with the weather can be quite cold there even in june, but the scenery is worth it.

[@christopherthomas-x1x]

Love the vlogs, looks great, what a train Journey

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! Train ride was well worth doing.

[@shiphaylane]

Brilliant,really enjoy your videos,to me you are the best.👍

[@andyandkirstie]

Glad you like them!

[@elainewickstead4714]

Did the same trip on the same ship May 6th and I can confirm the band was great. Had a wonderful cruise and can’t wait to go to Alaska again. The scenery is absolutely magnificent! Really enjoy your vlogs guys. Thank you!

[@andyandkirstie]

So you were on our cruise then! We embarked May 6th too. We were really lucky with the weather!

[@elainewickstead4714]

@@andyandkirstie yes we certainly were! Wow - Didn’t see you guys and went to the Rock ‘n Roll venue several times. Great trip. We really enjoyed it.

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah, we try to be pretty discreet. We loved the venue too.

[@gomer54-iu9ir]

Thank you Andy and Kirstie! My wife and I were trying to figure out which cruise line and ship we should book for an Alaskan Cruise. Your videos of your trip have been really helpful!

[@andyandkirstie]

Our pleasure!

[@bilbyguy2389]

What a great video. Thank you. At this point (Day 3) we have already decided to go on this cruise 😀 We are just a bit worried though, that you don't seem to eat much food on the cruise 😁

[@andyandkirstie]

I'd eat more if I could fit it in! Kirstie, at least, tries to be sensible! It was a great trip, you'll have a blast.

[@bilbyguy2389]

@@andyandkirstie I will need to fast for two weeks prior to the cruise. My wife was very impressed with your music choice. You seemed to pick the music that complemented the mood and often the vast scale of the landscape. We are also impressed with the friendly and relaxed tone of your presentation (ie no shrieking 😄 just pleasant and natural fun).

[@raebirchall7896]

Such a great vlog we did that same trip on our Alaska cruise but the train journey was spoiled as it was misty for most of it so our views were nothing like yours. All that snow still there reminds me of Norway when we have gone there in May.

[@andyandkirstie]

We were certainly lucky with the weather. The views were fantastic!

[@gwynnewilliams3408]

Great choice of music for the 'train journey'. Sometimes, when editing, it just all comes together doesn't it? Thanks for all your effort in producing such enjoyable and professional films!

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! Yeah, sometimes you just know a piece of music feels right for a particular scene.

[@terryleaman3038]

Fantastic scenery looks lovely!

[@andyandkirstie]

It really is!

[@terryleaman3038]

What did you think of the ship? The seaplane is marvellous, we’ve done it many times in our transfers in the Maldives

[@andyandkirstie]

The ship was great, just too many people on it.

[@AntonioMadruga-tn7zj]

awesome job you two!!!!!!

[@andyandkirstie]

Thank you!!

[@tarniaadams8428]

Really beautiful footage on the railway 😊

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks, it was a great train ride!

[@Schenkerflyingv]

Forgot to mention, the band did well with Rock You Like A Hurricane, by the Scorpions 🤟🏼

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah, they were fantastic!

[@SarahCollinson-o8k]

Loving your videos. I'm doing this cruise in 2024, Vancouver to Whittier (as part of a 24 day Canada & Alaska tour) and then we do the same cruise back to Anchorage. We've been planning this trip for 10 years, coming all the way from Aus. Waiting for Part 5 to be released 😀😀

[@andyandkirstie]

Sounds great! We had an awesome trip. Good to hear you're enjoying the videos!

[@SusanTaylor-qe8kj]

Hi Andy and Kirsty. Thank you so much we enjoyed watching your Alaska videos, we have booked Taku Lodge, White Pass Railway and Lumberjack show. Just wondering what month you were there, we are going beginning of May. Many thanks.

[@andyandkirstie]

Awesome, you'll have a great time! That's exactly when we went, early May.

[@howardosden3112]

Rock and Roll! Who woulda thought?! 😮

[@nigelgreer9954]

What a fantastic day that looked. Skagway looks stunning as did the train ride. I love a bit of rock and roll but that last scene leaving looked like you were standing in front of a print. Stunning stuff. Loving this series.

[@andyandkirstie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@debratrani8583]

Great video

[@sw8407]

Nice music

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks 😊

[@tatjanaanderlic7212]

👍👌 Lep pizdrav iz Slovenije

[@rhysthomas6999]

Great video, just wondering what exact excursion was this? Was it 8 hours? Many thanks

[@andyandkirstie]

Hi, It was the White pass rail and Yukon expedition. It was definitely around the 8 hour mark.

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Three donuts ..... you ganet Andy 😅. What was the bell ringing for in the BBQ ?

[@andyandkirstie]

😁😋 I think it was some drink being ordered at the bar, not sure what.

[@jonesboy201]

It’s a tip bell. In some places I’ve been to it’s an indication to the staff that a significant tip has been made.

[@ThemeParkBazza]

@jonesboy201 No wonder Andy did not know what it was 🤣

[@andyandkirstie]

Here's a tip, shut your face 😂

[@thomasmurdoch20]

Brilliant vlog as usual, what was that crispy thing u were eating when u went back into town?

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! It was a Klondike Doughboy. Basically a big piece of freshly fried bread dough covered in sugar. Delicious!

[@joybader4035]

When were u here? I was here this week and there was no or very little snow on the ground! Same excursion ! But the week before it was pouring rain!

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah, we were lucky with the weather. This day was May 9th.

[@Merritt7278]

Great views, great band, great vlog as always. Just one question, how was the pizza ?😂

[@andyandkirstie]

Pizza was great 😆

[@Merritt7278]

Do you ever have any plans to do a live chat ? Would be great to get your take on things all to do with cruising.

[@andyandkirstie]

Never say never, but no plans to. Kirstie is good enough to indulge my hobby of making holiday videos. I'm not sure she'd want to go that far!

[@widerthanone]

When’s #5?😧 We don’t watch tv anymore, just Andy & Kirstie vlogs 😁

[@andyandkirstie]

Friday at 6pm! This is gonna be one to watch in 4k on a big screen...

[@KenGoesCruising]

Did you have any issues with copyright with all the music you had in your video?

[@andyandkirstie]

You won't get copyright issues uploading live music. The only issue you could possibly ever have is the band themselves seeing it and not wanting it on there, but in my experience, the performers don't mind at all. Quite the opposite in fact. I've sent two separate performers on different ships, footage I've recorded so they can use themselves.

[@KenGoesCruising]

@@andyandkirstie Thanks for that the only reason I ask is that when I have recorded the passenger choirs on a ship I get copyright problems. I was wondering if I was missing a trick. Thanks for your help and a other great video.

[@andyandkirstie]

No problem. Maybe there's backing music everyone is singing to that's being picked up? It would have to be hearing an original score for you to have issues. Even then it's unlikely to get you a copyright strike, KZbin will just demonetise it. Glad you like the video!

[@callumpriest6578]

Are you sponsored by Rab?!

[@andyandkirstie]

I knew someone would ask that one day! No, I just really like their stuff and have worn it for years. Now Kirstie has recently bought some too.

[@rajindernijjer]

Is it better than Norway ford

[@andyandkirstie]

Not sure about better, but definitely different. Norwegian Fjords I'd describe as pretty. Alaska I'd describe as epic.

[@rajindernijjer]

@@andyandkirstie can I go I have big criminal record.

[@andyandkirstie]

Not sure about that!
