Alaska Bound - SEA DAY | Royal Caribbean | Ovation of the Seas | 

That's so exciting!! We definitely packed too much, it was warmer than we'd expected but we probably just got lucky. I think we both packed multiple sweaters, coats, vests, etc when we would've been fine with only a rain jacket and a sweater + vest. We were really happy with the excursions we chose and the hiking we did, I think for our first trip I wouldn't change a thing because we had a great balance of activities. Hope this helps!! 🍻😎☀️

It's sooo good!! Hope you had a fantastic cruise 😎☀️🍻

Wow that's amazing!! Hope you had just as great of a cruise as we did! Can't wait to share the rest of the videos 🍻😎☀️

@@ryanandkala it was the trip of a lifetime!

We agree! Royal always takes great care of Kala. She is usually a little nervous if there's not a gluten free section or if it's not labeled as Gluten free on the signs. They are always really great in the Main dining and specialty restaurants. Thanks for the tip about the buffet!!

Haha 🤣 we had such a good laugh rewatching that. Thanks for watching!! 🍻☀️😎

On the left heading out! Right for the way back down. We loved the train hope you have an awesome time 😎☀️🍻

Thank you!! 😎☀️🍻

Lol thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! Can't wait to share the rest ☀️😎🍻

Omg thank you so much! You’re so sweet!! Amazing!!! we hope you have the best trip!! ❤

Ya Royal does know how to do the specialty restaurants 😋

Hahah 🤣 love it. We do use our free play! I can't remember which day but Kala ends up getting like $20 or something then wanted to take her profits and run lol. We didn't do the flowrider on this trip but I did give it a try on our Explorer OTS vlog, haven't tried standing yet. I'm still new with the camera and noticed a lot of times where it came out of focus, I know why now and it bothers me I can't go back and fix it. We had a really good laugh rewatching the moment at Jamie's lol, poor Kala 🤣. Thanks for watching!! 😎☀️🍻

Thank you so much! Can't wait to share some of the footage on the next video, coming out Sunday! 🍻😎☀️

Hey!!! It was so good to meet you as well! You made our night, thanks for saying hello! We had a great cruise and a great day in Seattle, can't wait to share the rest of the videos! ☀😎🍻

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video we can't wait to share the rest especially since we're getting to all the ports next 🍻☀️😎

That's so exciting! The Coffee card is just an add-on purchase In the beverage packages section of your cruise planner. You basically get 15 tall-sized specialty coffees or 7 grande/venti sized. In the end I don't think it saves you that much, maybe a drink or two. Thanks for watching!! 😎☀️🍻

That's so exciting we loved Alaska you guys are going to have an amazing time. Everything is pretty simple as long as you have completed the online check-in and submitted all the required info. When you arrive to the port you can drop off your luggage with one of the porters (if you want, I know you mentioned you had small rolling bags), make sure it has the luggage tag on it from the cruise documents. From there depending on the port, youll wait for your boarding time selected when you checked-in or they may just open it up. In Vancouver it was just a free for all but generally stick to your boarding time. You go through some basic security lines. When you're in line waiting, complete your online muster then when you get onboard just go right to the muster station to get it done with. You get your rooms around 1pm but other than that you're free to roam. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions or need clarification let me know 😎☀️🍻

Thank you so much!! That's so exciting, 3 weeks!! Let the countdown begin!! Can't wait to share the rest of the videos ☀️😎🍻

@@ryanandkala absolutely! And to answer your question at the end, we’ll absolutely say Hi if we ever bump into you guys. We’ll be the couple with the big camera rig walking towards you 😂 Icon of the Seas in February? Let’s go!

@@paul_and_ashley We would love to do the Icon but the prices were a bit too high for us, we're on the new Carnival Jubilee in Feb! We had a great time on the Celebration so we can't wait 😎🍻☀️

@@ryanandkala Jubilee looks incredible! Sounds like a great trip! Have fun!!

Wooo! Another Canadian cruiser who understands how brutal it is to travel from Ottawa Canada haha! 😆

Thank you so much!! We can't wait to release the rest of the videos. She was kinda joking 🤣 we'll probably wear them from late Oct/early November to April-ish. It's one of those things where the morning and nights are cold and the day is warm. It definitely depends year-to-year as you probably know, we might not get snow until December. You'll be fine without a toque!! 🍻😎☀️

Thank you so much that's so kind of you to say. I'm glad we're able to provide you with some insight on your sister's vacation! We had an amazing time on the Ovation and I hope she does too! ☀️🍻😎

Wow!! You got some great taste in cruises 🤣 you're going to have a blast in Alaska, it was beautiful. Hope you enjoyed the Celebration as much as we did!! 🍻☀️😎

So glad you’re enjoying the vlog!! My mom actually knit that for me! So sadly there’s no link to share for that one haha.

@@kala-ryanandkala It's gorgeous! Very talented.

Thank you!! We left on May 11th! We had fantastic weather for most of the trip we were so happy ☀️🍻😎 I would suspect July would be beautiful as well.

Haha 😂 that's ok we'd much rather cruise with friends ❤️

We were on the May 11th sailing, we had very good weather for the majority of the trip it was quite warm. It's hard to provide advice because I think we just got really lucky. ☀️😎🍻

Thank you so much! We had an awesome time in Alaska, we can't wait to share the rest of the videos. We had great weather ☀️. I used to edit the videos down a lot more in size I'm sort of experimenting with the longer form to see what people think. We love being diamond those 4x vouchers each really make a difference, there's also the free photo and 1x wifi day each. Royal definitely has the best loyalty perks in our opinion. Maybe one day we'll coordinate a group cruise and we can have a drink together 🍻 thanks so much for watching!!

@@ryanandkala From a viewer standpoint, generally I would not be inclined to view a hour Vlog on RU-vid. Your videos - well I am a Ryan and Kala fan now, because I enjoy your presentations...and your subject matter! In fact, you and Kala are one of the reasons I am Loyal to Royal! My first cruise with RCL was on Enchantment and you guys did a walk through that I viewed and then we exchanged a few notes. As you noted, see what kind of feedback you receive regarding the length of the segments. This past May I flew down to FT Lauderdale from Maryland to cruise on the Vision for a repositioning cruise. From Ft Lauderdale to Curacao, Bonaire, Aruba then to the new home port, in Baltimore. That was 10 days. I stayed on the Vision and did b2b another 9 days. From Baltimore, to Bermuda, Nassau, Coco Cay and back to Baltimore. Had an awesome time and met some really fun people! A group cruise sounds good! Even if it is just simply letting some of your "fans" know what cruise we should book. I imagine planning a group cruise could be like herding cats. LOL!

@@csmith2435 Thats great feedback thank you for sharing. Sounds like you had some wonderful cruises, we've never done a b2b we'd love to try one. We do have some exciting cruises booked, mainly a Mediterranean one with Royal and the Jubilee with Carnival next year. Can't wait!

🤣🤣🤣

haha good question, I'm pretty sure it spends a season in Australia then does a transpacific to Hawaii and up to Alaska.

We went in May! I'm not 100% sure what youre asking but I hope I understood correctly! Let me know ☀️🍻😎

100% we caught ourselves doing it! It’s so hard not to haha! 🤣
