We went on same trip thu Carnival. We had a balcony for more private viewing g of glaciers. It was cold outside and we went inside to warm up as needed. We had rain ,drizzle or fog on most portions days. We bought different clothing at each port for climate comfort. We got some great pictures,but once to Alaska is my bucket list Satisfied.😗
Thank you for this information Would anyone know the cost of rail ride in Skagway when we buy it on our own ? We are taking cruise in June ‘23 Very excited
Wonderful video with tons of great information and personality! Really enjoyed this very much. We are doing our first Alaska Cruise this summer with same ports and we are so excited!! New subscribers and supporters of your channel. Thank u we can't wait to vlog this.
I'm from Southern California and snow will always be a treat for me, so I favor going there around the start of the Alaska cruising season vs towards the end when shorts are sufficient to stroll around in 😊
Thank you so much for your tips tita. I was worried I'd need to pay an arm and a leg for shore excursions. I rarely book with the cruise lines because they're so darn expensive 🤣 We're sailing to celebrate my upcoming 30th birthday in the fall! 🥰
You're very welcome, Iha! I'm gutsier with DYI excursions within the US and other English speaking countries. It's when there's a language barrier that I get nervous and opt to booking with the cruise line. Have a most wonderful time in your cruise!!
Thanks so much for this. I was last in Alaska on the Jewel in 2019 and returning this year on the Encore. Sadly, Icy Straight Point is not on our trip. Last time we spent so much money on our excursions even though they were very much worth it. We love Skagway and plan to book several for our time there.
1. Hi! How far is the Seattle airport from the port? Like how much did you pay for Uber, if you don’t mind please? 2. Also do you have any budget hotel recommendations? They are all so expensive and costs about $70 for transport to port. 3. Things to do in Seattle if we fly in the day before? 4. What about the weather when we travel to Alaska in June? 5. Also…excursions are so expensive. When we get to a port, do they have local ones we can go on that are not as expensive as booking one with the ship? Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thank you.! Very excited about this cruise. And thanks for posting this video!
You’re very welcome! We went in late August. Our previous one was in May-both my husband and I agree that May is a better month to go vs towards the end of Alaska cruising season. I’m excited for you, too! Enjoy!!
What camera were you using for the cable car shots? The camera appeared to be outside of the cable car. Same with the last shot with you on the deck and then waving to the camera. How were you able to get this shot? Would love to know name/ model if possible. Great video!
Thanks!! I used a 360 camera. The one I have is called Insta360, model is "1X". It's an older model, they have newer ones now. I like it because you just turn the camera on, extend the selfie stick and you decide which angle/s to show during editing. Weren't for the shadow it cast, one wouldn't know that I'm actually holding a selfie stick with a camera at the end. Fun gadget!!
