I got LOST in Canada and Mistakes were made - My Norwegian Encore Alaskan Cruise Honest Review!!

[@melanieknight4503]

Loved this series of videos Dev, now you really make me want to go on a cruise! We were almost at our cruise ship once a few years ago but had to turn back as our baby grandson got taken to hospital, thankfully he was all fine, but we haven't let him forget it just yet 😂😂😂❤❤

[@whereswehrs8716]

Thank you for sharing your Alaska Cruise experience, it was so much fun watching. My wife & I did an Alaska Cruise back in 2019 to celebrate Alaska being our 50th state that we have visited. I do recommend trying the 10 day cruise that includes staying at Norwegians Resort in Fairbanks for 2 days & then hoping on a train ride to Denali & staying there for 1 night before continuing onto Whittier, which is where you will board your cruise ship. Definitely was a neat experience. And yes, you are correct about the food being better on NCL than other cruise lines. Thanks again & Take care

When in Victoria go to Butchart Gardens. It is stunning, especially at night when lit, although daytime is also great. The rainforests in the area are also life changing.

[@Jjustineelizabeth]

As a Canadian who loves your content, watching you guys in Canada is my favourite thing ever !

[@davidrapske7927]

So a good way to see Victoria ahead of time is to take the Victoria Clipper out of Seattle for a day or overnighter and then back to Seattle for your cruise. The Victoria Clipper is just a block or two away from Pier 66 - makes for a good day trip to the Island. We live near Seattle and occasionally do these day trips over to Victoria and take in the famous Butchart Gardens and the city. Enjoyed your review - we're about to sail our third cruise to Alaska, this time on the Encore last full week of August 24.

If you book your Caribbean cruise out of Miami, the NCL terminal works like clockwork. Also, the Premium Plus drink package is WELL worth it. Once you book you will get an offer to upgrade to Free at Sea Plus which gives you the upgraded drink package, extra excursion credits, unlimited WiFi and extra specialtydining. Well worth it - especially of you were already planning on the unlimited wifi.

[@PCDev]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@deang1004]

@@PCDev Since your favorite bar is the Whiskey Bar, the Free at Sea Plus gives you access to all the wonderful top-shelf whiskeys they offer included, plus unlimited water and Starbucks. We are so looking forward to camping out at Maltings on the Gem in September. Our first cruise! But your vids make clear that we NEED to do an inside passage cruise, but probably with Holland America.

[@SuperKatherineKat]

I live in Victoria and its always so interesting to me to see it from a tourists perspective in vlogs. I work downtown so it doesn't carry the same feeling for me as it does a tourist but i enjoy seeing it the way other people do. I've lived on the island most of my life and have never tried the whale watching. I will have to give it a try at some point.

[@LoriKrazy61]

I’m the most most exciting to go on the a very new cruise NCL Aqua in 2026 I booked recently the first week of May I was like oh my gosh I’m going again! I was on the NCL Cruise last 2019 I absolutely loved that NCL so I cannot wait! Thank you Dev!

[@cfawa44]

Yes would definitely been keen on a PC DEV Group Cruise ❤

[@ShareeArmstrong]

I've booked my NCL Bliss Alaskan cruise for Sept. 2025. I thoroughly enjoyed this Alaskan cruise series!!! Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll be sailing solo for the very first time and for sure booked the Free-at-Sea option. Thanks again!

[@angieaunaturale8967]

Oh my gosh! I am just finding your channel and it's wonderful. Going on my first cruise this weekend!!! Wonder of the Seas out of Port Canaveral 😊

Save the notes with the Queen's portrait on them if you can! They'll be a collector's item in a few years! I lived in Thailand while they were introducing the new notes following the current king's coronation so I've got a mix of both!

[@melissaw1982]

We love cruising with NCL. The offers from them are hard to beat for a family of four. And it just seems like a more financially sound decision for us!!

[@DonnaDavis-l1u]

I enjoy watching every vlog you do because I appreciate how you interact with people. I also enjoy hearing about your experiences.

I hope we'll hear your opinion on the changes with das at disney. Really value you're always honest and for so many with disabilities these new changes feel discriminatory. Things like diabetes, bowel disease, MS, and mobility issues are now not considered a disability for das

[@TheCupcakegurl82]

My husband and I love watching your videos! We want to take an Alaskan cruise one day! It's very high on our bucket list!! 😊 We just returned today from a week long cruise on Carnival Celebration and had one of the worst cruise experiences! We were wondering if you have ever taken a Carnival cruise and what your experience was like. Thank you for all your content! We feel like you guys are our best friends! 😂

[@marksuchomelsr6698]

Book out of Vancouver and spend a few days in town before the cruise.

[@PamR73]

I laughed at your "cruise vlogger" comment. I was telling my husband the other night how much I enjoyed your cruise vlogs. You and Bianca really do a great job! Thank you so much for this content. Also, it was so nice to see the Encore again after cruising on the ship last summer. Really great memories of our Alaska cruise. We're looking forward to our sailing on the NCL Bliss later this year.

[@EmbarkationNation]

Had the pleasure of trying out NCL for the very first time in March, When the encore was in Miami. The embarkation was so easy. The food was fantastic. Honestly, the best food that i had on a cruise so far.

[@jojoinrancho320]

Ok - that was the best! Alaska cruise playlist I have ever watched! You really had an epic Glacier day! I have never seen a ship go so far in and the avalanche! Whoa! Plus just all the other stuff you covered - so fun! Thank you - I enjoyed it sooo much!

[@aesco510]

This cruise was so much fun to see. Ive never been on a cruise. Can you talk about first time cruisers tips, what to expect, motion sickness, getting over the fear. Can you also do a price breakdown? How much does an alaskan cruise cost?

[@disneyLani]

Celebrity and Viking doesn’t do towel animals either. I know you love them but on a great cruise I can survive without them. Glad you love Canada and PNW. It’s a dreamy area. NCL is a fun cruise line. Our first was on the Pearl when it was new( a while ago). We loved it. Cant wait to cruise on the Encore you have me sold!😊😊😊

[@spragit3834]

I hope that we can come with you on the Dev Cruise! Keeping my fingers crossed that our schedules match up!❤. Thanks for all the great videos on this cruise!!

[@brendatori1869]

The sugarcane mojito bar is the best. The pineapple coconut mojito was 🔥. I agree about Victoria. I loved it! Was lucky to have a full day there 9a-9p. I booked a half day whale watching tour at the Prince of Whales. Highly recommend. I definitely plan to visit Victoria again. And yes to all of the food on the Encore. I ate so well .

[@michaelirvin2079]

Hello Dev and Bianca, hope all is well . I really enjoy your videos, especially the NCL Encore Alaska trip. I love sailing on NCL, it is my favorite cruise line. I have sailed with them 5 times and going to be booking my next one soon. I am glad you guys enjoyed it . I have a question , I am looking to book my Alaska cruise with them for 2025. Can you share which is the best time to sail . I know there window of sailing are a short window. I have viewed all of your videos . I like your honesty when you give your reviews. I am glad you enjoyed your NCL cruise , they are by far my favorite . Thank you guys again for sharing your thoughts and experiences with your sailings. I look forward to your next video.

[@dominiquel8766]

I love your cruise vlogs, i saw both Alaska series where you say you love Canada ❤😊, but both times you started from Seattle, your next Alaska cruise could start im Vancouver, like maybe the Disney Wonder - you'd combine Disney and Cruise 😂 - that way you could spend a couple days before or after your cruise in Vancouver and visit for more than just a few hours 😉, just a suggestion 😁. Looking forward to your next adventure ☺️

[@kathymatus1628]

I love your positive outlook on everything! We have our Alaska Cruise booked on the Encore for June 2025 your videos have made me even more excited and more confident that I picked the right ship!

When I cruise NCL I use the coffee maker in the cabin. This is the only cruise line that I know of that lets you have coffee in the cabin. For that reason I always purchase cruise next vouchers

From Oct to March NCL cruises out of New Orleans. This year it will be the Getaway. Cruising out of New Orleans is very easy. Cruising down the Mississippi River on the way to the gulf is amazing. Plus they have coffee makers in the cabins

What a Great Trip! 🚢 The BEST so far! What a life you guys live.🤗

[@Laurel6960]

Hi Dev & Bianca, thank you so much for the shout out. I really thought you did shout outs when you met people in person. Haha! That brought tears to my eyes. I’ve been going through some medical stuff and am finally on the mend. Luckily just in time to hop on a Celebrity cruise this Sunday from Bayonne NJ to Bermuda, which is the perfect cruise for us right now. It’s a 7 night cruise and we stay in Bermuda for 3 days, no time constraints so we can take out time if we need to. My energy level is still building. I’m also booked on a Leaf Peeping cruise on NCL from NYC to Canada and back on Oct 20th. You should join us! Thank you again for the shout out, love to you both! Laurel

I haven't been so sure about an Alaskan cruise but you guys made it look fun. We were on the Encore to the Caribbean in February and loved it. The only problem was the weather which was kind of rainy. I was trying to go before spring break but the next time I think we'll shoot for after spring break. Have fun on your upcoming cruise!

Awesome cruise 🚢 ty Dev and Bianca

You’re very lucky that you got to see Victoria during the day because we went on the same cruise as you and this was in July and when we went, our trip was not very eventful. We had a pick up our luggage in Juneau. It rained in Skagway we only got to see the lumberjack show in Ketchikan and Victoria was closed down.

Awesome video! I did an Alaska cruising princess last year. Loved the cruise but not overwhelmed with the found. Would be very interested in a PC dev Alaska cruise. It was chaotic in embarkation day and I think many disregarded the time they selected so it could have been similar with your experience.

[@SuperKatherineKat]

As someone who lives in Victoria I can tell you that there are a few streets in that area that feel a bit sketchy in terms of a lot of street activity including drug use and rowdy behavior. Its best to avoid it in the evenings if you can. It really depends on which ways you walk there to be honest.
