BOARDING HAL Koningsdam to ALASKA!! This is NOT Your Grandparent’s Cruise line!! 

Your hair is so cute.

Alisa, Laura says: you were so brave to show when you had to cut your hair and that it looks gorgeous. No need to wear a wig any more. Be who you are!

So awesome to see Cameron back in the vlogs! I hope Colby is doing great! And Ethan having his 1st little one! Congratulations!

Gotta say, I LOVE how your hair has grown in. You look so amazing with it short; I’d keep it that way!

I started going on HAL in my early 30's. I've been on 6 of their cruises and love them. More laid back, less people, smaller ships, great food, and amazing entertainment. I will be going on more cruises with them for sure!

Keep your hair the way it is. So cute, accents your beautiful eyes and doesn’t take too much work.

The joy you both bring us is incredible. This is a bucket list cruise and hearing how appreciative and aware Alisa is really makes us love you guys.

HAL is so cool in how they appeal to the curious minded by little things like the umbrella. They know rain doesn’t stop the beauty! 🥰🥰

I was on the Konigsdam in early May on an Alaska voyage. The boarding queue took the better part of 3.5 hours, and everybody was cranky by the time we all boarded. Loved the lido pool deck. And the food on that voyage was probably the best I've ever had. I was particularly impressed with the food in the MDR. Breakfast was amazing, and dinner service never disappointed. The buffet was absolutely MOBBED for every single meal, so I didn't spend much time there. The cake program in the Lido buffet was complete chaos. Sel de Mer was absolutely wonderful, and there were very few people who took advantage of it. The Grand Dutch Cafe didn't impress me as much as I was hoping it would. Personally, I'm more partial to Princess' International Cafe. The spa was wonderful, except when it got crowded. Then it was just like being on the pool deck! Enjoyed the huge whirlpool tub in the spa during a couple of days when the sea was rough. Shoulda brought my surfboard. The shows were very very good... I think overall, my experience with HAL was good, but for Alaska my personal preference leans toward Norwegian's Encore ship. The MDR food is nowhere near as good as HAL, but their buffet is great, and the overall programming of the ship seems to lend itself to spreading people out. I felt the Konigsdam made people bunch up in clusters too much, it was overwhelming. Great video you guys!!! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time.

That all looked so amazing. The ship is nothing like I expected to see. Your cabin looked very comfortable, and that balcony... 💖 So much fun already! Alyssa, I love your hair!! it is coming back perfectly.You look beautiful with short hair. Can't wait to see all the rest of this trip.

I loved this, so good to see HAL getting some love via vlog! They are our favorite line (in our 30’s). Looks like a wonderful trip with a super fun group! Can’t wait to see the rest of the vlogs!

Alisa-Your hair is fantastic and I never noticed your amazing eyes until you cut your hair. You’re a beautiful lady!

Good to see Cameron again:) He loves his Mama. Love from NC!

Alisa we have been watching you all for a few years now and love the joy you both bring to travel. I especially want you to know that you are stunning with a pixie cut!!!

This is right up there with The Hawaii adventures! I can't wait for more.

You are looking so good. Have fun! Keep on traveling.

Looks like a GREAT TIME!! I 😉 Friends, socks, and THE FOOD!!!😀

love it, you always bring excitement and joy to these vlogs

Great video! Good to see Cameron again!

What a great start to your trip. You all looked like you had the best time.

It was nice to watch your vlog. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Hello Alissa and Jason! We were on the Koningsdam to Alaska the week of September 24th-Oct 1st. We just missed you! We love your channel, take away a lot of inspiration and tips and darn it would have been excellent to meet you both! You have a great travel group for your Alaskan adventure! Enjoy friends! 😊😊

Yeah, your baby is back!!! Love his friend too, I hope there's more of the 👪 family

I very much appreciate the depth of your review, it included numerous helpful details neglected by other channels.

She explains so well and she’s fun.

Just loved the socks exchange!! 😂😂

Hello EECC Travel!! First of all, your hair is SO adorable - I'm loving it!! Also, thank you so much for your content! EECC travel has always been so super informative. I hope to see you on one of your cruises, we are also avid cruisers! Hope you have a wonderful cruise!! :)

OH how we love you two! What a wonderful time ! ! ! LOVE the balcony tip too. We did our first 2 ever Holland cruises a month ago and now we have our eyes set on Koningsdam : )

Great video….loved the polar plunge!! You two are adorable and down to earth…no pretenses…⚓️❤️🚢💕

HAL is our favorite line and we’re in our 30s! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!

Loved your London vlogs also your young lady honesty about her hair issues which I totally feel for her. Keep up the good work. Please please enjoy. Wimbledon London

That was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.😎

You are ROCKING that short hair! Gorgeous!!

Vancouver is my favourite city in the world!! It is so beautiful. We’ve only had 3-4 days their at a time and I always want more!!

My gosh those Nemo socks hahaa. Thanks so much for this video, I've definitely had the impression before that Holland America is a relaxing (older) kinda cruise, but this looks like so much fun, sure I'd love this! :)

Thank you for everything

We did this cruise last year and the weather/seas were rough. It was the second last cruise of the season and many people were seasick. Alaska is beautiful. I think my favorite was Glacier Bay. The food was spectacular. (I gained 10 lbs.) The entertainment was awesome. I particularly enjoyed the dance shows. I can't wait for my next cruise.

Great VLOG! This looks amazing! Can’t wait until we travel to AK!

LOVE the short hair -- and the color. Looks fantastic on you!

This is one of the best travel channels on RU-vid. I enjoy your videos very much.

Love love Alaska. We did 10 days from San Francisco loved every minute of it an planning trip 2

Wow v nice comfortable ship cabin. Thanks

Your hair is growing back FAST! I love the short style on you. Cheers to a wonderful cruise! Joey

we did k-dam in Caribbean like 4 or 5 years ago. It was awesome. Chill and civilized vibe, but we weren't bored. Awesome buffet.

alissa i have to say i LOVE your hair like that! it fits you so well!!!

It was so lovely to meet you both on this ship. I am glad you had a good time in Vancouver (except for the lineup's! Verifly really is the best thing!). Looking forward to seeing more of your cruise.

This was awesome 😎. Thank you ❤. Alysa your hair looks lovely 🥰

Love it and thank you for sharing this with me . I loved it.

The sock exchange looks so fun! 😆😆😆

Nothing wrong with a salad!!!that room looks awesome!!! It’s awesome that both sides have a USB!!! It’s awesome that they provide blankets!!! That bathroom is awesome!!! The suite is awesome!!! We love suites!!!

We sailed out of Vancouver in July and it was our first time and YES! We were downstairs and then upstairs and then in one line and then another line. It was crazy! They rocked out at the end! Unexpected.

Love HAL. Paid $349pp to upgrade to a suite for a 12 day medditeranian cruise. The low cost made it all that much more glorious! I usually do the obstructed view balcony. The price is right and the lifeboat doesn't really block much of scenery. Can't wait for more of Alaska and your fresh air fueled enthusiasm!

We did the same cruise in late August. It was fantastic!!!!

Sock exchange was such a great idea!!!!!

I LOVE your hair! I know you are growing it out, but I kept my hair that short for the whole length of my career as an RN. Just easier to deal with. Now retired, I grew it back out. I love following you two on your adventures.

I was on the Koningsdam in May to Alaska. We had an Aft corner Neptune Suite with wrap around balcony we loved the space the suite had. We also loved everything about the Koningsdam. And Alaska.

Great video have a Fantastic time. Your hair looking gorgeous 🥰

Love you guys! Fresh Off our Transatlantic on the Prima (loved it Weather be Dammed). We are going Back to Alaska next Year! So happy to see loving and accepting parents! 🤗🤗🤗👍

That ship looks really nice. Hair is looking awesome Alisa.

Love K-dam!! Did the same cruise earlier in July. Great ship and crew. And your short hair is super cute Alyssa!!!

I have never been on a cruise but you all make it look so fun.

It was a fantastic double rainbow as we were leaving Geiranger Fjord on Rotterdam when we were in Canaletto! Food was good too.

Great tip on the balcony !

The sock exchange was awesome.

Your trips are always so fun!! Great group of people! I’m with Alyssa I always get the short ribs, always so good! Looks like a great ship too! We might have to try HAL now!

The wife and I took a cruise to Alaska in August from Vancouver. We actually live downtown there, just a quick taxi ride from Canada Place. It was so easy to get there, and yes there was a long line up, so go early. Otherwise it was easy peasy. Coming back we were off the boat and home in about 20 minutes. They didn't even check our arrive Can, just passport. Straight through and took a waiting taxi, so stress free!

I loved the sock exchange

Alisa I love the way your hair is growing in! Looks Awesome!

I loooove the Canaletto! I like getting the meatballs and lasagna ♥️ So happy to see you on one of my beloved Dam ships. Have fun!

You guys are great!

I love your hair this way. It really makes you look younger.

Cruising is awesome. Good vid

The best HAL cruise video I have seen! They should be using y'all for their commercials! Looks like you had so much fun! We went in 2018 on the Eurodam from Seattle. Loved every minute! Going again June 1st. I can't wait. Thanks for sharing! Kristi 💕

I've missed you guys so much!! ❤️😍😜

Always wanted to see Vancouver. That part of the world is the most beautiful i have seen. Definitely want to do this cruise!

Hair is 😍 Here watching!

good editing, ty for the video!

More of Cameron and Chase, please. 😻😺💋👄

I've been watching you all for a while. I really enjoy your cruise ship videos. To me cruise ship videos are your Forte

Your hair is so so cute!!! ❤❤❤

Ooookay, so now I need to put those Dam ships on my list of ships to go on!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for breaking that bad 'stereotype' I had about HAL! Now, if only they sailed out of Port Canaveral then things would be golden! Maybe an Alaska cruise in 2024..hmmmm...Thanks for the great entertaining adventures, eager to see more! Have fun!!

WISH you were back in Blighty! take care loves! xxxxx

Love the hair!!! I think short hair suits you!!! Ya'll enjoy your trip!!!!

I just love your videos. 🙂

Great video 🌸💐🌸💐

Loved this travel blog 0:41

Great video! We're looking at a 35-day South Pacific cruise on the Koningsdam and your video kind of sealed the deal. Thank you!

Oh wow, the sail away out of Vancouver looks amazing! I have an Alaska cruise booked for next year, but I'm going on NCL out of Seattle. I hope the sail away is just as amazing!

Alissa, I love your hair without the wig. It really suits you x

You look awesome with your hair that short! Makes your eyes pop! 💕

We just missed you guys! We sailed Oct 1st-8th

It’s so nice to see you have hair again

Your hair is adorbs, gurl!

I understand....trust me, I'm Canadian there are lines and redundancies EVERYWHERE not just when boarding a ship...just be glad you made it on the ship on time to get the heck outta there.

You look gorgeous with that short hair and eye makeup! Wow!

Wonderful video

When you go to Glacier Bay, Holland America serves pea soup on the promenade deck. Lovely, enjoy your vlogs.

I’m loving your hair ❤

Wow… Got to take a second look at Holland America Cruises… Your cruise looks like a great experience
