Cruise to Alaska with Royal Caribbean | Embarkation Day 1 | Quantum of the Seas

[@AceCarolla1965]

As much as I enjoy watching your Vegas coverage, NO ONE does cruise videos as well as you do.... Great stuff!

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you so much! We really enjoy making them, and we feel they allow us to be more relaxed and have fun with them. We actually have 5 more cruises booked over the next 365 days, so glad to hear the awesome feedback!

[@CashMopar]

On our bucket list, especially on this ship! Odyssey is our favorite ship!

[@JoshRachael]

@@CashMopar quantum class is sneakily one of our favorite classes. Not too big not too small lots of activities

[@CashMopar]

@@JoshRachael loved Icon but the pool on Odyssey!

[@bw2082]

I did an alaskan cruise and it was my favorite vacation of all time. It was so different than any other place I had been.

[@JoshRachael]

Definitely had a totally different vibe than most of our trips have been. Very relaxing for us, which is not normal 😂

[@Mickyjstack]

Really dig the non-vegas content 👌 Great stuff, ty.

[@JoshRachael]

More coming soon! We board another cruise ship on Friday!!

[@Runningafter40]

Super excited for the rest of the cruise series!

[@JoshRachael]

🙌🏼

[@angelagarbiso5197]

Looking forward to watching this series kf cruise videos! We leave in 10 days to the Caribbean on FOTS,which is how i discovered your channel. I avsolutley love your videos, please keep them coming!

[@JoshRachael]

Oh we hope you enjoy! We have 2 more cruises booked for 2024 and one early in 2025, so more content coming!

[@shakemastergaming2906]

Fun video guys! Can't wait to cruise with ya in May!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks Doug, can’t wait to go with you and Brittany!!!

[@tedfisherHSCC]

Enjoy your Alaskan Cruise. The most expensive part will be the excursions. We always bought 6packs of soda and waters before boarding the ship and placed them in a canvas bag with a luggage tag and Room Tag. We bring 2 bottles of wine with us as well. We found buying a case of water was overkill. We NEVER get the drink package since we are Diamond. We get 4 drinks each every day and buy whatever we want in addition. On some cruises my wife would get a soda package because she prefers fountain soda. On day 1 & 2 everyone seems to over eat. The food lust tapers as the week progresses. Now tha T you are an experienced cruiser, you are learning the tricks. All the main dining menus are the same on all ships based on the number of cruise days. The formal nights are usually day 2 and 5 on a 7 day cruise. Have Fun!🎉

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks for watching Ted! We are excited to be venturing more into the cruise life! We have 2023 booked full and are starting to plan 2024! Cheers 🍻!

[@susanbusbee]

I like Rachael’s theory of see a cookie, eat a cookie! ❤

[@JoshRachael]

I mean 😁, it’s a cookie!

[@JoshRachael]

Let us know if you have done an Alaskan Cruise - what did you like or hate about it? Thank you!!

Trying to catch up on all the videos 😉! Love it 👏👏👏 Btw...loved our "drunk" talk Rachael at Grannyfest...you're awesome!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much for watching and spending time with me! It was an absolute pleasure! 💗

[@TacoLover1]

BTW thank you both for being amazing Nurses! We appreciate you!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much!

[@kenstaack252]

We are going on this cruise in a little over 30 days. Great review.

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much hope you have an amazing time!

[@TacoLover1]

Ok, next time you are in the NW you need to get hold of me! I would love to show you the Oregon Coast, and beautiful Oregon! Great video, thank you.

[@JoshRachael]

Definitely will let you know. Might be a bit but gotta think we will be back at some point for sure!

[@TacoLover1]

Did I mention that Portland has amazing Tacos? 🤣😂

[@JoshRachael]

Haha that is the key for Rachael for sure

[@alanmather924]

Happy birthday Rachel, we just got back from the symphony and absolutely loved it, glad you had an amazing birthday cruise. You all got plans for icon of the seas.

[@JoshRachael]

🤫 🤫 we might have booked Icon already 😂 😂 looks AMAZING!!!!

[@marvcapitola4262]

Nice guys! Looking forward to the adventure. 🍻

[@JoshRachael]

More to come!

[@TheSponge1971]

We’re doing this ship next Jan in Aust. Can’t wait, great vlog!

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome - yea this was the last Alaska cruise of the season so they were headed to Australia after dropping us off in Vancouver. We would love to get to Australia one of these years, hope you have a blast!

[@allisonmatheney8115]

Question here. When did u guys go. Month that is. We r debating on that. Love your videos. Planning 2024 cruise to Alaska

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much, we went the final week of September and we were one of the final cruises of the season if not the last one.

[@shogaele6127]

That was a great tour of the ship

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you, that’s kind of how we do our first day, helps map out what we want to do on the trip

[@Poorvimathur]

Nice video! What was your stateroom’s obstructed view percentage?

[@JoshRachael]

Don't totally remember but from looking this up, it seems like it was in the 50% range

[@UpL8Gaming]

Love the intro you two!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks so much!

[@tracyharris1739]

ok i want your life it seems a perfect amount of work and travel lets get you to 10K soon

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you Tracy. It is great that we have found a way to spend this much time traveling, really a lifelong goal that we just realized we can do. 10K would be amazing - it will come eventually but soon would be so much better haha

[@johngregg1186]

Can you make a video to talk about some of the clothing/items you found useful during your trip? I am taking a similar trip in 2023. Thank you for your videos!

[@JoshRachael]

Great idea! We have discussed doing something like this as it gets closer to Alaska cruise season. Will definitely see if we can put together something since Alaska cruises are so different than Caribbean ones. thanks for watching

[@lashawnmartin6198]

Josh and Rachel is this prerecorded? Just checking to see if you all went this week of October or September. Cruising to Alaska is on my bucket list

[@JoshRachael]

We recorded this a couple weeks ago, got off the cruise during the first week of October. We don’t have equipment to edit and upload while traveling, plus we like to be able to enjoy as much as we can since it is a vacation for us, so we try to do all editing after we get home. More to come hope you enjoy!

[@lashawnmartin6198]

@@JoshRachael most definitely I’ll enjoy. I was just trying to see when to book mines. Which month so I can enjoy the weather. Wasn’t trying to bother you guys. Enjoy your weekend

[@JoshRachael]

@@lashawnmartin6198 no worries at all. As you will see as the next few days come out this is not the nicest weather time

Another Hack - to put Liquor in empty Shampoo bottles , Mouth wash Bottles

[@JoshRachael]

Oh snap!

[@moetalor4390]

I’ve never been on an alaska cruise but am very curious. My only hiccup is I HATE the cold and think I might not like it because of that. Could you share your experience e.g. did you have to wear sweaters while onboard etc… excuse my ignorance about the weather.. lol. 😅😅😅

[@JoshRachael]

We will definitely be bringing you along on the rest of the days to show the wide variety of weather you can expect. On the ship you will see as long as you stay under the pool deck there is no need for anything extra. Once you get to the pool deck it is definitely breezy and we had quite a bit of moisture and temps in the 40s-60s for out cruise. If you go you will definitely want layers including waterproof ones for your days in Alaska - the weather was not kind to us

[@TomMindy]

Just think of the hot box as a sauna with a view.

[@JoshRachael]

And a jerk talking nonstop…loudly… 😑

[@trishkeller8228]

Cafe 270 looks like a larger Park Cafe

[@JoshRachael]

Very similar, but indoors and beautiful venue

[@TomMindy]

I’m curious how many hours the piano player works per day. Seems like it could be a great gig.

[@JoshRachael]

Good question cuz it seems like most the workers are going nonstop but being an entertainer could be a sweet gig

[@an89dy1]

North Star need to cost or just free ? thanks

[@JoshRachael]

there is a free option and a longer paid for option

[@rebeccahertzler4249]

What month did you do this cruise??

[@JoshRachael]

Got home about 2 weeks ago 😊

Hi can you please let me know the details of booking website and the boarding place etc..

[@JoshRachael]

We book direct through Royal Caribbean! Thanks for watching!

[@treypitchford1516]

Did you have to pay 4,000 dollars a peace to do this cruise to Alaska

[@JoshRachael]

We did not….we were able to utilize one of our offers from Royal Caribbean….we paid taxes & fees! Thanks for watching!

[@treypitchford1516]

@@JoshRachael ok cuz we looked it up it said you pay up to $10;000 dollars for the Alaska cruise I just wanted to know and we need to stay around 3,000
