My wife and I were on this cruise and ran into Jeb and Suzanne (and I fan girled pretty hard). They are as nice in person as they are in their videos! Another amazing video
Jeb! It was so great to meet you on this trip; watching this video is bringing back so many great memories! The girls and I had so much fun exploring Alaska for the first time. Hope to see you on another cruise!
You're the best! We really had fun meeting you, too! Unfortunately your email address bounced back. Shoot me another message if you get a chance. Thanks again!!
May and September are the least expensive times to go on an Alaska cruise. Also, cruises which have different embarkation and debarkation ports are less expensive than a round trip Alaska cruise.
I love your channel and the entertainment that you provide. I have to say though that this is by far my favorite video that you have posted. You have taken us on a journey at sea. Your Deep Dive into all that is available on the cruise was incredible. Thank you for this. I just wish the video was longer.
@@GreenerGrass Something i've personally noticed is that your videos seem a slight bit fast. I don't know if the two of you just talk faster than other people I watch but some of the scenes where you described the food or showed the menu I have to slow it down to .75 speed in order to see everything. I also noticed during the scene where you showed the room and the details of it a video speed closer to .8 or 80% speed was perfect for really hearing everything and understanding it. I love your videos and its great seeing how enthusiastic you are about your trips :) . Also I personally love seeing the food shown on videos like this so I would like to hear more about your thoughts on the food for example at 17:30 you mention the platter looked nice but didn't really talk about what parts of it you really enjoyed. Are there certain parts of the platter that either of you enjoy more? What items do they give on the platter? Food recommendations for big cruises are always great for those looking to go on a similar voyage.
What a great video. I’ve done a lot of traveling in my 64 years. Never been on a cruise and never had any desire to go on one. Until now. I’ve been binging on your channel for a little over a month now and enjoying the vicarious journeys I most likely will never make. This one hit home. I was born in Vancouver and grew up in San Francisco. This trip just made it to my bucket list. Thank you for all you do.
Right? Sometimes when I settle in to sleep around 9 or 9:30 - or some days even 8:30, I don't feel like a 40 year old but someone much older for some reason. 😂 But yay! There are apparently lots of others like me! I just like waking up VERY early. The world feels more.. serene at 4 in the morning to me.
As soon as I saw this video I was so excited to watch, love your videos Jeb I’m kinda a quiet watcher but always give you a thumbs up on every vid. Learnt a lot since being here and enjoy every detail and the way you style your content. Awesome. All the best Ben.
Thank you for your productions which are informative and entertaining. My wife and I fulfilled a dream by taking a cruise to southern Alaska from Seattle just last year and for eight days. The scenery was beyond magnificent. It was GLORIOUS!!
Cruise ideas - I love the Canadian Maritime Provinces having visited PEI, NS, NB, and Newfoundland multiple times. I'm normally not a huge fan of cruises as the best vacations I've had involve wandering and open schedules, but the scenery and wildlife of that part of Canada would make a great trip. Love to see Jeb cover that part of Canada. Parents recently did a Rhine River cruise and came back raving about that. On this channel, I'd love to see Jeb do more railroad trips. There are so many scenic lines worldwide that it makes it worth watching!
@cartermacewen3086 I love that island. Been visiting there off and on since the bridge opened in 1997. Beautiful scenery, wonderful people, and I love the North Atlantic fishing. Best place to unwind and relax.
Looks incredible; reminds me of my Alaska cruise last year. If you ever do this again I recommend going on a Holland America or Princess itinerary that goes to Glacier Bay National Park (few other cruise lines do). Imagine Hubbard Glacier, but multiplied a few times.
That is true Alaska and Holland are the only ones who have permits for the glaciers. In truth the cruise lines actually have the waters all carved out ,
I would add to the packing, that if you are going in the summer months, take some clothes for warm weather also. We only took the layers at the end of June and had mostly warm sunny days. Shorts would have been nice.
1) I think this is one of the best edited videos I’ve seen you guys put out - congrats!! 2) We were about 5 days behind you (on the NCL Jewel). What a memorable experience. Love Alaska!
Your videos are so important to me ‘cause it’s the only way I can enjoy a cruise. Motion sickness is my problem. I love your videos. Keep them coming!!!!!❤
Very much like Viking cruise Inside Passage. Similar ship sizes, staterooms. Service seems comparable, too. We love Viking’s quiet ships, no kids and no casino.I always view Jeb’s videos…always well done.
I have been on an Alaskan cruise twice (and enjoyed it). I recommend doing a Mediterranean Cruise and a Nordic/Scandinavian Cruise. One of my favourite cruises (it was my most recent) was a trip that started in London and ended in Lisbon (essentially a Bay of Biscay cruise).
I LOVED this video! This is definitely a trip my husband and I will take. Watching you two on these trips really helps us save time and money because you are showing us all of our choices. Thank you for demystifying it all for us! I got sad when I didn't see Suzanne in one of your videos once. Keep her in ALL of them! You two are great!
This was a natural progression: from planes to liners and believe me, you picked one of the very best. Silversea has the reputation, not only for their ships, but their staff on shore handling bookings and travel arrangement are excellent. Hi guys, what a lovely surprise to see you having a slower speed trip and what a treat. My spouse and I were fortunate to do two cruises with the company: BA to Barbados along the Brazilian coast and their Antarctic cruise. I hope your video will really encourage others to take the plunge.....I doubt anyone would not love the journey, the food, the scenes and their wonderful staff. Another top story! Cheers
I loved watching this video! An Alaska cruise is on my bucket list. Going on a more luxurious ship like the Silversea would probably be right up my alley. I loved how you went over everything on the ship. I too think the excursions off the ship would be the best thing.
Recently retired at 76 and moved from TX to CO. I never had (or took) the time to travel. Your travels are allowing me to see the world as I would have liked to! Thanks for the high quality, great photography, information! The SilverSea AK cruise, your Australia trip and the many train adventures in north central and northwest US have been such a pleasure. Keep up the great work!
Jeb and Suzanne awesome video!! The Alaska videos have been such a fun watch. Love the silly room tour. You guys should do the other silversea cruise to Japan!
Jeb, your tour of the ship, the food choices and excursion info are fantastic. I don't think the cruise line could do better. You really get an idea of what the ship and all it's services are all about. Thanks for taking us along in your cruise. And I hope we get to see a longer White Pass RR video at some point. :)
I use to live in Anchorage Alaska. And got to see a lot of Alaska's beauty. I'm back in Greensboro now, I miss Alaska. I would love to go back to take this cruise, it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing with us Jeb!
Love this video. We did an Inside Passage cruise with 3 other couples a few years back and this was the best time we have ever had. The highlight was at Hoonah (Icy Strait) where we had a cooking class with fresh crab, halibut and salmon. All I needed was wasabi but they didn't have it. Also did the Zipline which is supposed to be the longest in North America. Keep up your videos. Love you two.
10:42 40f to 49f = 4.4c to 9.4c burr you made me feel chilly at -7c! LOVE the exterior painting the ship, the light hull with that light grey strip - very cool looking, classic ship inside and out. Another GREAT video, love you BOTH ❤
You should come to Hamilton, ON, visit the warplane museum and book a flight on the Lancaster. It's one of only two in the world that fly and it would be a cool video! Plus, it would be cool to have you in my hometown!
An Alaskan cruise how awesome! And you got a train excursion and some hiking. Just an all around great adventure! I've never cruised before but this would be my choice. It's all about the scenic views. First class accomodations! Great job thanks for taking us along!
Great video! I didn't notice a link to book a cruise with Silverseas. Would love for you to get recognition for sharing. Sounds like there may be a cruise in my future 🎉. Thx for all your detailed videos. They're truly helpful ❤
Great video. I’ve been cruising for over 40 years and for two people who say that they don’t know what they’re doing on a cruise you chose very well. Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in all of the world. I did my first cruise to Alaska in 2010 and you renewed my interest with this new ship. I recommend Fiji/Tahiti, Antartica, the Arctic Circle, and the Norwegian Fiords.
Awesome video you two, great ship and great cruise indeed!! I love the "24 hour" bit, that was super fun! And, Susan in the closet was hilarious!! lol I think you might have ruined yourselves for cruising though, that has to be the Top of the heap, as far as cruising goes. Thanks yall!!
Jeb and Suzanne - Always great videos, binge watching everything. This is one of my favorites because my wife and did an amazing two-week trip in Alaska (rail and car) and it was the adventure of our lives. I really enjoy your destination videos and train trips (Peru was awesome), Queen Mary crossing is my all-time favorite (watched four times). Would love to see a cruise in Greek Isles. Excellent quality on videos. Keep it up.
@@GreenerGrass Thanks Jeb. Spoke to the wife, about your cruise. We’re both very intrigued, especially that everything onboard is included, as well has a free excursion, in every port you arrive in. Those glaciers are something else. It’s going to be a little different this cruise, as now I’m disabled, still walk but not has good anymore.
I recommend the transpacific route from japan to alaska when its repositiong in the spring time. You get to japan early to see all the beautiful cherry blossoms and leave from tokyo, going north to visit hokkaido which is magnificent. I loved that some of the ports in hokkaido were just average cities without tourist destinations, and while the week at sea was a little bit long, it was very unique to have it snowing at sea for us! Myself and the crew were all having a great time with the light snowfalls that happened on the sea days, and again in whittier it snowed quite magically during an outing to see the glaciers. Seeing alaska as one of the first ships into the area for the season was also wonderful, the weather was still crisp and the towns didn't seem worn out yet. I stayed on all the way down to vancouver again, and I would do this trip EVERY year if I could get the time off for a month!
I was one of the first passengers as Silver Nova made its first cruise in August 2023 from Rome-Civitavecchia to Monaco. I really enjoyed it; it's a beautiful ship.
Wow, I think that's good value. You get so much for all you get, food, drinks etc. What a great experience, you looked like you were really enjoying it.
I’d say one of its the genuinely most happy trips I’ve ever seen you guys take it I’m very happy for that. The cruise look phenomenal top shelf everything and I’m really happy you guys got to enjoy that with each other. Long time water sometimes kind of mentor as we have before a Jeb. This one made me happy to see you guys truly enjoy one another in the luxury, cheers you too
When you comeback to Alaska I suggest riding the White Pass & Yukon Railroad again. The railroad goes much farther than the short excursion you did and it is loaded with history and scenery!
I did the entire trip, but the other way around with Royal Caribbean's, "Radiance of the Seas." It was by far the best vacation I have ever been on. Each city felt so different from the others and there were so many unique activities to do (we went salmon fishing in Ketchikan, dog sledding in Skagway.) Glad to see you had a good time!
Hi Jeb & Suzanne, Thank you for your excellent video of your Alaskan cruise 🚢. This is one of the most beautiful cruises I’ve ever seen. Our friends are going on this cruise in September I believe. As usual you are both so friendly and knowledgeable and I always lose 10 points from my blood pressure when I watch your video features. Best Wishes, Peter
I love watching you! I’m sure I’m late to the party, but Suzanne sounds just like Jenna Fischer. I hear Pam Beasley when she speaks. As a huge “Office” fan, it’s pretty awesome.
This was great! I've seen several videos about Silver Nova from cruise youtubers, but your take on it was quite refreshing because it came at the experience from a slightly different angle. Great footage, too.
I was so excited to get a notification that you had a new video!🥰 it’s been a month since your last one, though I can only imagine how much work goes into making a video. For sure I will enjoy this new one tremendously.
I was on NCL Jewel's first trip to Alaska for 2024 in April. I got to ride on the first rail passenger trip of the season. This was my second trip to Alaska but with the snow in the mountains and lack of other ships at the port, to me that was luxury. I am a solo passenger so have to pay basically the fare for 2. I paid $1,900 for my 7 day trip from Seward to Vancouver including 2 speciality dinners and excursions in all ports, including 3 in Juneau and 2 in Icy Strait Point and one in each of the other ports. The ship you were on reminds me of the Viking Ocean ship, but you had more luxury from the staff. I am not into luxury and since I was first on the ship from Bangkok to Tokyo and then went home for a month, I brought some small gifts (mostly cruising ducks) back for my favorite crew members when I returned to go from Tokyo to Vancouver. Since you seem to like luxury a lot, you might not be happy with the normal cruise ships. I mostly go for the itinerary so I enjoy the shore excursions. I tend to go on back-to-back trips to reduce the per trip cost for getting to the ship which lets me go on more cruises.
Welcome to the world of cruising, so glad that you enjoyed the experience. My first cruise was also to Alaska, about fifteen years ago. Next up for me: a month cruising around the South Pacific this fall.
Holy moly what a beautiful cruise! I've only cruised once and the experience was meh, this makes me want to try again. Love your other videos but its also great to see different types of content!
I’m a bit biased since I worked for Royal Caribbean for 6 years. Pretty sure they didn’t own SilverSeas during that time. I’ve heard great things though about SilverSeas as a luxury cruise line. My favorite ports though were Istanbul, Haifa, Sydney, Wellington, Lisbon, and Southampton. There were certainly more ports that I absolutely loved but that’d be a very large comment on here :)
I really enjoy the more intimate atmosphere of smaller cruises! Your cruise review is helpful as we think to embark on this adventure. I appreciate it! Cheers!😀🙂
Great video! I’d love to do an Alaskan cruise in the future. As for future cruises, there are several destination cruises that y’all should do. 1.) ANTARCTICA. My aunt and uncle did an Antarctica cruise back in December 2010 and they had an incredible experience. They said that the scenery was better than their Alaskan cruise they took a few years prior. The places they went in South America were pretty cool. 2.) PANAMA CANAL First and foremost be sure you pick a full transit cruise. Partial transits are not worth it and you don’t get the full experience. I did a Panama Canal cruise last year and it was fantastic. Transiting the Panama Canal was incredible and I would totally do it again. If you do that, be sure you do one that goes through the historic locks. A cruise through the new locks of the Panama Canal would not be as exciting as the historic locks. And the places you go in Central America and Mexico are fun. I soaked up the Panama Canal experience the entire time we were going through each set of locks. I put sunscreen on multiple times and I still got sunburned pretty bad…😂 We went in late spring on this cruise and it was so bloody hot outside in Central America. I’d recommend going in the winter as it won’t be as hot. 3.) GREEK ISLANDS This is on my bucket list. My travel agent did this recently and she said it was a once in a lifetime experience. You’ll get to see the beauty of the Mediterranean and you’ll get to visit lots of historical places. 4.) ICELAND I would love to cruise in Iceland. I’ve heard it’s beautiful and it’s worth visiting.
Great video and I love how Jeb and Suzanne share the presentation. The whole cruise looked amazing and I think that's a very good price for 7 days. The room looked very stylish, wonderful food and of course stunning scenery.
