Best excursion in Ketchikan is flightsseeing Over the misty fjords. We have been on several Alaskan cruises. For this we went off the ship and found the flight seeing and bargained the man down For the last two seats on the small plane, seaplane, which landed on a lake. Beautiful. On a cruise like this pick One expensive excursion that involves helicopter or a small plane so you can see what it's like to fly over the beautiful scenery and maybe land on a glacier or somewhere. Then for the other ports, pick one whale watching, and one port where are you walk around the town such as Skagway, and maybe do a bus trip out into the wilderness or go to a salmon bake too. That way you've hit the high points and it's not costing you too much. Definitely book excursions off the ship to save money.

One thing to bear in mind with both Alaska and Hawaii is that cost of living is VERY high as compared to mainland US (maybe due to cost of getting supplies to those areas?). This probably impacts cost of excursions pretty significantly.

Great vlog guys! My father graduated HS in Juneau and he always remarked about the extraordinary cost of living. I think he said a gallon of milk or a dozen eggs were around $7-10 each. Their house was just a mile from the glacier in the 1980’s, so him and his siblings would swim in the glacier water every summer. The glacier has receded significantly since then, but that was a huge source of their memories and love for the land. They would fish at 3:00am in the midnight sun during the summer, too.

Just letting you know that I live in Juneau and milk is $3.50, eggs have been a bit higher because of the egg shortage, but again normally around $3.50

Thanks for sharing your cruise on Norwegian. We just returned from our Alaska trip-land and sea on Holland America line. HA has their own hotels and resorts, together with Princess cruises. We were fortunate with great weather. Started the land tour in Anchorage, took a train to Denali, toured by bus to Fairbanks, flu Fairbanks to Dawson. Explored Dawson gold mining area with visit to dredges from 1910. Experienced some gold excavation, from Dawson we went to Whitehorse . Denali we explored the national park, saw moose, sheep and a bear. Our last stop was Skagway prior to boarding the ship. Visited old town and the rainforest park above the city, visited the old Whore house, and the miners cemetery. I advise to all who enjoy walking, check out the local trails prior to booking excursions. Happy travels!

Alaska has been my favorite cruise destination so far. Went back in 2016 on Royal Caribbean. For our shore excursion we took a helicopter ride, landed on the Mendenhall Glacier, then hiked across the ice. We had a gorgeous blue sky day. Spectacular views! An experience I will never forget. And sadly, with the rate the glaciers are receding, one I'll probably never get to experience again.

The Alaska cruise season is only about 6 months out of the year so they have to make their money while they can. We did an NCL whale watching tour on a yaught (only 8 people and 2 crew) for about $300 in 2021. It was in September and we saw a ton of whales and sea lions. You were really too early in the year and the whales were still migrating from Mexico (another great place to see them in the winter). Enjoyed your vlogs!

We love these guys, always entertaining. We've cruised to Alaska three times. First with NCL, then HAL and Princess. The first time we thought it would be a once in a lifetime event so we booked excursions that we thought we would never do again because of their costs. We flew helicopter up onto the Sawyer glacier, walked around on the glacier and watched the glacieal water run beneath our feet! Then we Zip Lined down a mountain with stops in the trees where we could watch bears below in the forest. Oh, and the whale tours!!!! Yes, we did those each time we went back and was always very lucky to see many whale sightings and several BREACHES! We kayaked across a bay over to an island once, booked a bike ride (20+ miles downhill) down from the Yukon border to Skagway. Oh, and so much more adventures. So glad we did it when we were a bit younger. I recommend going back again and again.There is always something new and different to do and see.

In case you didn't know you can also take a ferry from Bellingham to Alaska and you can camp out on the deck in your tent. It's supposed to be really fun. I took a cruise to Alaska with princess Cruise line for my mother's 80th Bday. It was fun. I also used to go and fly to Alaska quite often for work because I worked with a large watch company. Had a bunch of accounts from the cruise ships and other Jewelers in the area. My little tip to everyone do not grow to the cruise gift shops and the crewship ran gift shops on the main drag of every port. Find the local guy who's struggling to make ends meet and buy your products and services from them.. They're going to be a little deeper into town because they can't afford be right on front street. That's all pretty much cruise ship people and people who are there to gouge tourists. If you go a little deeper into town a little bit off that beaten path are all those other stores. You will find the native shop owners and they are phenomenal people!

I'm so happy you enjoyed Alaska. I've been there 3 times and was fortunate with great weather twice, and fog/overcast skies the last year. It's always wonderful, but much better when the sun's out. It's a shame you didn't get to really walk Ketchikan. I"m always disappointed when it takes time to get from the port to the town. When I was there last year, in Skagway they'd had a landslide at the dock and it was closed, so we had to tender. We were really lucky because several cruises cancelled the port because of that. It's the best port and the best view of what the old Alaska was. Safe travels!

Awesome video! Alaska is on my bucket list. Only time I've been to Alaska was on my way to Japan back in 1986 when I was moving there as one of my US Navy duty stations. Only was in Anchorage a few hours, kept thinking I wanted to see more of Alaska. I loved all the beautiful video you showed, was so breathtaking.

Love your vids! I'm one of those shuttle/bus drivers for Ward Cove running people into Ketchikan this summer! Wish you hadn't come so early in the season, before I got here! 7 miles into Ketchikan and we try to give great commentary all the way! You were lucky to be on one of NCL's smaller ships, the Bliss and Encore get a much shorter day in Ketchikan.

When I lived in the UK it was my English colleagues who introduced me to Earl Grey tea. I’ve never had it before now, of course, it’s very popular in the United States. But all my friends in the UK drink EARL AGREY and whenever I visit, that’s always the teA they have so I think it must be REGIONAL thing then I lived in Buckinghamshire and my friends live in Warwickshire now, I always bring home world grey tea from England. Glad you enjoyed your Alaska journey. It’s one of my favorite places to visit.

I just asked John Heald about the bacon. The answer I got was it's available everyday in the MDR. Which we all know is carnival being cheap with their paper thin bacon. It's not a supply chain thing like they said in the beginning. No other line has a problem 😂

This is amazing, I just got off 11 days in Alaska, and we used allot of your suggestions to go by. It felt nice to see the video of yours and dream that we were all in the same place. It was an amazing cruise, Thanks for your suggestions

You're Alaska videos are great. Thanks a lot. The whale tours are a "hit or miss" -- sometimes you see lots of them; other times none (depends on the time of year and their migration). And the laws are pretty strict about how close your boat can get to them. The most whales I've seen at one time was just off St. John's, Newfoundland (a terrific city, IMO).
