Why You Should NEVER Cruise To Alaska In October | Ovation of the Seas

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Have anyone ever sailed in rough seas like this? Let us know when.

[@darleneeastburn7639]

Been around the horn & rough seas from Tasmania to Australia 🇦🇺 were the worst EVER !!!!

[@starcruze328]

We cruised from SF to Hawaii in March of 2016 and had 36 hours of the WORST seas ever on departure. 35 foot swells with 50 MPH winds - and our Captain had steered us around the worst of it! It seriously made what you guys experienced look like a walk in the park. Fortunately, neither Mrs. Grey or I are prone to seasickness, but there were many on board who weren't handling it well. Glad you made it through the rough stuff!!

[@kelleyspencer]

One time on a gambling ship off of Corpus Christi. I was so sick but we went to the top deck outside where I could see the ocean and horizon and it made it all go away. Just sitting and rocking inside does not work for me.

[@CruisingWithJT]

I commented below but adding it here as well! :) Great video! However I would say that cruising in October was the best experience of my life to Alaska and I have been there 5 times! Rough seas are no fun for sure! We had them the last day but outside of that it was all good! Ovation was moving for sure in your video haha -- check out the video I just posted of us going through a Bomb Cyclone on the last day of the last cruise to be in Alaska in 2021! It was creaking, it was crazy and wild! Roughest seas I have experienced in 16 cruises! I would go back in October though, mainly because of what I experienced at Glacier Bay National Park. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, snowing, frozen, surrounded by ice. I think you guys need to go to Glacier Bay National Park next time you go to Alaska. Trust me, it blows away Dawes Glacier/Endicott Arm! I did that twice in August and hands down Glacier Bay wins!! :)

[@stevenstair1068]

Knock on wood of the 18 Cruises that we've been on perfect weather every time...

[@wannabe_sailor_777smith6]

My wife and I just returned yesterday from an Alaskan cruise on Ovation of the Seas. It was a miserable experience. We were told not to go in October but it was the only timeframe we had. First, the Captain announced that we needed bypass Skagway due to the weather so we went on to Juneau and we got there 12 hours late so our excursion was delayed as well. After that was over we only had one hour to tour Juneau. The transit to Ketchikan was wild, extreme wind and waves, for a minute I thought I was going to role out of the bed. Next, the Captain announced we were going to bypass Ketchikan and visit Victoria BC instead, I was livid at this point. Even though we were reimbursed for the missed excursions I still feel cheated as I wanted those ports of call and the excursions. I complained to guest services but they had their speech memorized, citing the "contract" we signed and agreed to that allows changes in the itinerary in case of weather. I could tell their representative couldn't care less about my lost vacation. Also, BTW, the food quality on this ship is not very good.

[@Midships]

Yay. so glad I booked this ship during this timeframe BEFORE watching this.

[@joyceedwards6112]

Stay outside. Look at the horizon and try to be in the middle area of the ship. I found that having saltines when I travel a good idea. 🌝

[@lianealbert7728]

I’m SO glad that I found you two! My husband and I were contemplating a cruise to Alaska late season only because we’d like to increase our chances of seeing the northern lights…

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Even with the rough seas it was still worth it! The Northern Lights we got to see were beautiful!

[@leemorgan9291]

I was on the NCL Escape in October 2022 and it was fabulous. We had a major storm with heavy gales, but the rocking and rolling was rather soothing to me. I enjoyed even the roughest of it. Might have been tough in an inside stateroom, but with the balcony it was awesome.

[@michaelduffy1971]

I had seas 5x as rough back in May. It was so much fun lol. The ship was crashing so hard into the waves you could feel the vibration from the crows nest on noordam

[@shopper5969]

WOW!! The ship rocking a lot. Always a pleasure watching y’all. Be safe and enjoy thanks for sharing.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

We’re always down for some rocky seas, but not like this 😅

[@emilybolton7474]

As someone who was born, raised, and living in Ketchikan, I still can't wrap my mind around cruise lines offering cruises in October. October has always had the WORST weather! I'm glad y'all survived! You are braver than I am HANDS DOWN.

[@icedteamama176]

Late May or late June a good time to go? Planning to go next year. Thanks!

[@emilybolton7474]

@@icedteamama176 May is less busy, but there's more rain. June a little warmer, but by that time, Season is in full tilt and is crazy busy. It depends on how you like to travel! I hate crowds, so I'd visit early June so that everything is open, but I don't have to deal with the crowds.

[@lborg960]

Being from Canada, there is noway that I am going to visit Alaska. For me and my wife it is the tropics. Warm and cozy.

[@peekay808]

We were on the NCL SUN 10/20-30. The crew said the Glacier Bay Day was the best day that had seen all season. We were able to get pretty close up! Weather was cold but not a drop of rain on the whole ten day cruise. 😢 We missed the Northern Lights 😴 but some fellow cruisers got to see it. One thing, some of the excursions and shops were “closed for the season” because we were so late in October, but we really had the best weather (unlike previous Alaskan Cruise ☔️) so it made up for it. Loved it and would do it end of season again! ❤

[@dearmepa1]

What a great blog! I’m so glad it came into my feed!

[@JamiieAllOver]

Late to the party but blueberry muffins. Glad I found your channel! I’ve been bingeing your videos for a couple weeks 😅

[@yesnotes8515]

saw the muffins

[@alifish5271]

We cruised on NCL Encore 10/2-10/9. We had amazing weather!!! We heard the creaking too but it was beautiful and amazing in October for us.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Yeah the rest of the trip had amazing weather!

[@mileagerunner9759]

I was on that cruise back to back first two weeks in October and I loved it. Didn’t mind the rockin at all

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

We normally don’t mind it either, this time was different 😅

[@bevdan91804]

We sailed NCL on October 9th...except for rain, it was a smooth sail!

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Lucky! It would’ve been a perfect cruise if it wasn’t for that one day.

[@dawnrusso3278]

Did you get any of the main dishes at wonderland or just appetizer and dessert? 😁

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

We did! We tried a lot of stuff. The short rib was super tender!

[@JJCruise]

Awesome Vlog - Sea Sickness sucks but Seals are Awesome!! We ❤️ Wonderland but it is definitely only for the adventurous eater 😉

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Lol I thought I would be able to handle Wonderland better! I just can’t do much seafood. We’ll def try it again next time we’re on a ship with you guys 😉 -Laura

Sounds like the perfect anniversary trip! Enjoy!

Ketchikan is one of my favorite Alaska ports ❤

I don’t mind the cold & rain 🌧 . Living in Las Vegas, I don’t see much of either .

We sailed to Alaska in May. Had some rough seas then too. They didn't even let us on deck.

That queso and chorizo looked bomb though!

First time to watch you guys...I got to say LOVED it had me laughing so much with the looks on your faces tasting your food was just great...I myself love the rough seas I think it's a blast half the fun is watching everyone else...On one cruise it was so rough the WHOLE crew was all sick LOL.. Best cruise ever I had the whole ship for myself. So anyway let me lock you guys in so I don't miss any of your video's...MARK IN ARIZONA...

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Mark!! First of all, welcome to the Travel Squad! We so excited to have you here. We normally don’t get sick on cruises, but this was next level for almost 24 hours 😅 We didn’t stand a chance lol. It was nice having the ship so quiet though when we actually able to get up and walk around. Wish we could’ve enjoyed it more, we normally love rocky seas!

[@rjuice82]

Bro! Snap pausing on my tv app sux. But with that being said, Blueberry Muffins! 😜

[@katiebourne7557]

We went sep 26 to oct 3rd on princess. Seas were very rough. And all our ports got cancelled except Juno we were very happy to be back on solid ground.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Oh wow! Our only one that was canceled was Sitka, but they diverted us to Ketchikan

[@darlenecrone5585]

I was on Ovation Oct 8 2021. I always wear a path for seasickness ( need it or not) and I've never had a problem.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Maybe we’ll have to try a patch next time! Haven’t used those before because we don’t typically have an issue😩

[@realcdcruze3558]

We sailed the Anthem of the Seas in the North Sea and it got rough like that a few times. I want a big fan of Wonderland either. It’s cool but the food wasn’t so great. Give me a curry in the buffet any day!

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Yeah a lot of the savory food was a bit much for us, but the deserts were top notch!

[@TheDetourDuo]

70mph winds?!? 😱 The seas around Alaska always seem to be rough 🤢

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

I heard that later in the season. However, knowing what we know now, we’ll do it all over again

[@TheDetourDuo]

@@TravelSpreeOfficial maybe next time we can tag along

[@JennyCruiseCommander]

Oh I have to say I love when the ship rocks and sways! I’m always sad when it does not. 🤪

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

We normally love it too! We did not expect to feel so sick. It was awful.

[@Podgey25]

It rocks me to sleep

[@gory523]

Haha, this is good. We just got back from the Ovation, we did the last Alaska cruise sailing, and the weather was cold and raining, but it was fun. Yes, we got the weather and rough seas. There were like two days, we have experienced rough seas before, but this was the first time I got a Lil seasick. We did love the coffee; we stop at the same coffee shop, but doing it all over again in 2022 but not in October

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Oh so I think you were right after us then! We can’t wait to do Alaska again.

[@dawnwhite2512]

We were on this cruise and loved it. We had at least 36 swells. Didnt mind the waves, we have been through worse.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Normally don’t mind the waves either, just hated how long it went on for with the constant swaying😩

[@epicsubset]

Vancouver aka BC West Coast has had some good storms in October.. just Monday we had a Tornado.. weather has been ruff.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Oh geez, that’s no good!

[@sharonh2172]

Lol... blueberry muffins! Just wondering... Did y'all take Dramamine or something like it prior to the rough seas? I ask because I really want to do Alaska but I need to wrap my mind around the rough seas and wondering if a preventative will actually help... 😩

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

💙💙💙 We didn’t take it before, but we took some during. It helped for a little while but didn’t last super long. Sea patches probably would’ve helped more. What helped the most was going up to the top deck and looking out at the ocean! Helps when your brain is able to connect the motion to an actual source.

[@victoriasview325]

I have been on some very rough cruises and am not someone who ever takes pills for anything…….but one time between New York and Halifax, it was time to try, so I had to break my rules. I took one Bonine, which I always cruise with, but never take and it was like a miracle! I could stand and eat! I highly recommend it. The plan is, if you have it with you, you won’t need it. We’re doing a Transatlantic from Spain next October and I pray for fair seas!

[@snowman5202]

Took Ovation cruise on Oct 1st-8th, it was pretty rough the 1st day. Sitting on toilet listening to all the creeking underneath was unnerving. Playing drunk ping-pong was fun. But once we got to inner sea, things calmed down. Turned out this cruise was better than the previous 3 in September because the sun came out everywhere we went. Totally enjoyed the experience. On the way back, we got to see Northern Lite, that was one bucket-list item checked off.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Omg, sounds like we were on the same cruise! We got to see the Northern Lights too. It was magical.

[@dennymac94]

We were on that cruise as well. We always carry patches with us and we used them that day. It was the most movement we’ve ever experienced on a cruise before. Overall, we had a blast.

[@valeriecooke6819]

We were on that sail too! I didn’t think it was that bad 😂 had to be careful walking and rick with the boat but we never got sick and had a fabulous time! The views were amazing and filming the waves off our balcony was fun! The Northern Lights were awesome!!

[@yogerke]

I wear sea sickness patches on all cruises just in case. Makes a big difference

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

I’m curious, have you also tried the wrist bands?

[@lindabennett9556]

On our TA from Venice to NYC we caught the end of a nor’easter and we had waves 35+, even though the Captain tried to sail around it. They had most of the restaurants & shops closed. The waves lasted for 36 hours.

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

36 hours?! Geez. We could barely handle the 24 hours we had with it haha

[@exploreconmigo9090]

Great video! New subscriber 😊 1st 👍

[@stevenstair1068]

We Cruised in June, perfect time to..

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

We’ve heard June is a great time! Maybe that’s what we’ll do next time. The rest of the trip had amazing weather though!

[@kccarrtheoregonhillbillyhi4803]

Awesome I will be scheduling a cruise in October because I love rough weather

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Haha go for it! We normally love rough seas but this went on for 24 hours, so it was tough.

[@noname-JS]

Good job on the video but I don't understand why October is a poor time except for the precipitation, rough seas and colder weather...? Ovation of the Seas isn't the ship or line you would take if you wanted excellent cuisine...

It was many,, many years ago on my honeymoon. From NYC to Bermuda. 2 days to Bermuda, when we got there I told my husband let's just fly back. LOL!! No, we ended up taking the ship back. And it took me about 15 yrs to get back on a ship. So now it seems I will ONLY cruise out of FL. I can't stand rough seas or the creaking of the ship always scares me. Especially at night. I don't do well!! Not sick on my stomach just damn scared 😨😰😱 Lol!!.

Oh no!!! Yeah we’ve never experienced rough seas like that on a cruise going out of Florida. Didn’t really scare us, but pretty much all we had that day was ginger ale lol

Just got off Ovation OTS from a 10 day cruise. I can say Ovation OTS is one of the best ships I’ve ever experienced. We handled pretty well with the swell, on Day 10 (sea day) the swell was massive, not as bad as yours I reckon, but the pool was literally flooding the deck with all the waves, haha. We swum in it, very scary buy super fun. Definitely got one of the worst times to cruise, high winds straight to Alaska. Next time you can cruise with Ovation I’d recommend it! (Make sure to check forecast though, weather is insane 😂 😉)

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Ovation is definitely up there on our favorite ships List. And I forgot about that. The kids pool area was flooding because of the swells too! I’m glad you had a great time, we’re hoping to sail on odyssey next.

I was watching another channel & they said going back to your room & laying down is the worst thing you can do if you’re getting seasick. They saying go to midship & getting fresh air, eating a green apple, or ginger works. Along with motion meds. I’ve never been seasick. So I don’t know if they’re right. I just thought I share for future. Thanks for sharing…

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Yup! That was Fains mistake lol. He went back to room and laid down and got really sick. I stood up on the top deck for a while. It was hard to keep my balance but I started to feel better looking at the ocean. We actually did hear the green apple trick too! -Laura

@@TravelSpreeOfficial It was on the Queen Mary UK Southampton- London to NYC.. Apparently, 7 out of 10 crossings encounter that !😵.. I think if I had been on a normal cruise vessel and not an ocean liner, then I would have been terrified! It pitched and rolled a bit.. any other ship would be really bad ... But I didn't mind..travelling the same path as my ancestors by sea. Heading to New York , like my Great Grandma was magical. She emigrated in the 1890s from Ireland to Boston Massachusetts / Cape Cod.. It felt very sentimental

I would have stopped at the door.

I drive Uber in Vegas and all of my passengers that live and come from Alaska say the food is HORRIBLE in Alaska. 🤣💀

[@TravelSpreeOfficial]

Really?! Wow! Yeah the ship food was definitely not the best for this cruise.

20ft seas? Haha. Drama much? Those are maybe 10 ft. Anything for clicks, I guess.

I guess you just have to be there 🤷🏾‍♂️
