Norwegian Spirit Pt.8: Skagway Fast Ferry To Haines, Kroschel Wildlife Center, Red Onion Saloon

[@Vulkurt]

Hi! This is Mary, your tour bus driver! I was trying to find a video of the tour to send to my friend to best explain what the tour was about. You did a great job of covering the animals, Steve, and Patrick. Also, thanks for the shout out on your recap! Safe travels to both of you!

[@LoveBoatCruising]

Hi Mary, I was on tour with Jeff 10sep23. Working on video. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge of Alaska❤Angie

[@live2skide1]

OMG...the wildlife center is over the top!!!!!

[@cherylhulon6905]

I remember the kroschel wildlife refuge from Dr. Oakley Yukon vet on tv. Awesome!

[@normanatkinson1514]

Of the blogs that I have viewed, this is one of my favourite. I really liked the commentary as you did the tour and I liked the still photo’s.

[@mike44b]

That guy was awesome! 😂

[@anastas6179]

Tour looked great. I'm on a cruise (Princess) next June and had this excursion in the back of my mind. Seeing what it entails has convinced me to book it, so thanks!

[@mike44b]

A "loose curd" may not be your most appetizing food description, Jay. 🤣🤣

[@heideleskun1163]

Looks like the table I sat at last year. Reindeerfarts are good.

[@cherylwinkelman1562]

Dee, those were award winning photos!!!

[@francoiacono8825]

Great video. splendid shots of nature! Dough Boy = Beaver Tails in Canada.

[@Komainu959]

Never saw Dr. Oakley's but he sure reminds me of Willem Dafoe. 14:38 Fun fact, moose are indeed the largest member of the deer family.

[@vids5374]

That's crazy how that boat just pulls up and then people just pop out LOL

[@karenball5522]

I loved Haines when I went there! I Did the hammer museum. Those people that live there are so funny!! Such great humans!!

[@VITRAVELINGTHEWORLD]

Glad you got to see the animals he takes care of you would love the Dr Oakley show that he is on a lot the show is awesome

[@maryanncapece2623]

This was fun. Love all the animals they had. I'm sure Dee was in heaven. Dee you certainly have some amazing pictures. Love Alaska,

[@Wsudancer]

The Joe Exotic of Alaska. What a character!

[@lisakennon811]

Absolutely loved your pics of the animals. I really loved the wolf.

[@harrietwalker9064]

Great video guys Dee has that honest humble heart beat that animals love that's why they come to her❤❤❤

[@sharonmacpherson9139]

Yep that is steve from dr Oakley you drove by her vet practice it looks like a lighthouse, awesome 😊

[@JoyJohnson-hn9zt]

Really enjoyed the excursion thanks

[@heideleskun1163]

That's the same dock we were at last Sept.

[@andrewbrown574]

I did this excursion sixteen years ago on a Celebrity cruise. Still the best excursion I’ve ever taken!

[@andrewbrown574]

The second best excursion I ever took was also in Haines. It was a river float. I’d be happy to skip Juneau and Ketchikan and just spend multiple days in Skagway!

[@heideleskun1163]

Instead of doing the train, we did a land bus trip. Highly recommend if people have done the train before.

[@alfredinglesby6489]

Steve is on Dr. Oakley‘s show. Dr. Oakley‘s office is in Haines Alaska. I am so glad you both were able to get to go see him. We did this excursion last year and we did it not through the ship. I was trying my best to explain it to you guys when I saw you on the bloggers cruise in January. Steve does an amazing job with the animals and all of the cruise lines should have an excursion to his property in Haines. When we went, he just got the two baby wolves that week. And the porcupine was eating watermelon then.

[@idapeterkin2687]

The wildlife tour was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing ❤. Can't wait for the next one.

[@cathyzodda6207]

That guide looks like the man that is always on Dr. Oakley’s show

[@parodeejay]

I think that’s what some folks on our tour said. They knew him from a TV show!! :D

[@onthebit2bet234]

Amazing! Dee ur pictures of the animals were STUNNING!!

[@arisdoragarcia7044]

Loved seeing your adventure. Dee you are so great with animals. So happy you got to do this excursion.

[@chrisscarfo1149]

We are leaving Seattle today can't wait to go!

[@helgadiaz2829]

Dee, I always love your photos.

[@msdove61]

That excursion looked so fun and exciting!

[@timmoore3666]

Hey Guys Good day to you guys. Thanks for taking us along to Alaska. Cheers

[@lorettachapman4244]

What a fun day for you all, the photos were amazing!! So much fun watching your excursion!

[@lizdyson3627]

This looks a great place. My fav. is the porcupine the bear and the Red tailed Kite.

[@sabrinalavdisarnold825]

Oddly enough, those Alaskan towns remind me of parts of Wisconsin. (No glaciers, of course.)

[@eminiarvii]

What an amazing video Jay and Dee. Thx so much!!!🚢😊

[@barbarashuster9029]

There were people swimming in the water when we left Juneau on the Fourth of July! Brrrrr

[@louisedasilva6046]

What an amazing excursion you had!! 😊

[@jeannebasanez7427]

Loved this video!

[@lindaobrien3397]

Good morning ya'll 😊

[@denisewoods5438]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@cynthiamiller]

You must have missed the announcement that the t-shirt company closed permanently. The one in Ketchikan is as well I do believe.

[@jpbpds]

Your guide was quite the character!

[@janedavies7768]

Hi from the UK

[@gthornton3]

Gm from San Antonio Tx

[@LoveBoatCruising]

When was this tour? I was on 10sep23 tour.

[@parodeejay]

We put the date in the upper left corner at the start of every video, as well as in the description, for the curious!! :D

[@LoveBoatCruising]

@@parodeejay thx 06may23; 10sep23 the Wolverine was gone, but he brought out the Silver Fox. Great video, Amazing Excursion.

[@throughmylens3530]

How much did the tour cost?

[@parodeejay]

We’re in the UK right now, so it’s only pulling up pricing in Great British Pounds, yeesh. If you hit NCL’s website, you should be able to get pricing in USD, hah. Silly internets!! :P

[@susanburnett6123]

Wow Dee you got some awesome pictures. What a Fun time.

[@sscooby2u]

Just curious, what prevented you from booking Haines excursion on your own? Looks like there are websites for the fast ferry and the wildlife center - are you unable to book individual tour tickets? I love Skagway (so much to do and see) but Haines has been in the back of my head to go visit. Appreciate your content as always, thanks!

[@parodeejay]

Getting from the ferry dock to the wildlife center was the issue. We couldn’t find solid affordable transportation for what I believe was a 30ish mile ride back and forth!!

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Good morning from your neck of the woods, we are in Virginia for our granddaughter’s graduation!

[@scottscaneh]

you have to RESPECT Aretha and no video

[@ss_sailaway]

This is an awesome cruise itinerary minus the wardrobe complications.👙🩴🧤🧣😸 It’s tempting to book the trip back in August!
