Welcome to the West coast!! We have sailed to Alaska out of Seattle 3 times, though from Pier 91, a little North of 66. You will thoroughly enjoy Alaska as long as you dress for the weather. It is surprising how many people do not as you will see. Take some time, if you can, to explore the ports on foot. Take the tram up Mt. Roberts in Juneau. Visit Creek Street in Ketchikan. When in Skagway ride the bus up to Car Cross and take the train back down. Looking forward to your videos so we can relive our cruises. Enjoy!!

My husband and I have been thinking about going on a cruise to Alaska. We haven't booked anything yet since I've been keeping track of what's going on. We will be going on the cruise from Seattle and then Alaska. It's for our 50th anniversary. Our anniversary is on October 30th. Since there isn't going to be cruises going to Alaska in October, it will be in August. I've been watching Dons channel to see what's happening with Canada. Before Covid hit we booked one that has 2 nights in Seattle, then Canada and then Alaska. I'll be watching your videos to see what's happening. I can't remember which cruise we booked at that time. My husband wants to see the railroad and the glaciers. The first cruise we took was for our 20th anniversary and we didn't know anything about cruising. That cruise was a 3 night and 4 day. We learned a lot about what we liked and didn't like. That cruise was a party cruise. We aren't drinkers and our daughters at the time was married with kids. They would have liked that. We did enjoy the cruise and it was a good learning experience. After talking to a few people they suggested the Alaskan cruises. A few months before covid stopped everything. We were supposed to be on the 11-12 day cruise towards the end of May. We did get reimbursed thankfully.. We asked a number of friends who has gone on the Alaska cruises which company we should book our cruise with. Almost everyone say to cruise with Royal Caribbean and Princess. The cruise we booked our cruise was Royal Caribbean I think. I'm going to get ahold of Don and Tony and Jenny. Anyhow, I'm very much going to watch your vlogs since that's what we are planning on going this summer. I told my husband that since cruises have been up and running, that we should try to book our cruise for this summer.

Yay! Congratulations! Our first cruise after the pandemic was the Alaska cruise from Seattle last September. Been to Alaska 5 times and never got tired of it. Hope you enjoy your assignment to that part of the world! Oh, if you are in Juneau, go to the park and have some Filipino BBQ skewers. Apparently a favorite for the ship crews. The best!

It’s great you are assigned to a Quantum class ship again. It won’t take you long at all to find your way around. We were on the Ovation in early 2019 for a Honolulu-Vancouver cruise. From how you described the Odyssey, probably the biggest difference is the main dining room. On the Ovation there are the 4 smaller dining as opposed to the one big one. Enjoy your new contract and I hope you get to do some exploring in ports during the summers. Alaska is beautiful. We are headed there again on the Millenium in August.

Welcome to Seattle. I am very happy you are going to Alaska. I have cruised there three times. Please keep in mind that during your months in Alaska the weather will be cool, warm, the skies will be cloudy, very clear and there will be times of light drizzle and some rain. In fact, all of these may occur on the same day. I challenge you to understand what did after being disappointed. Mother nature is providing you with ever changing views. Tell yourself all of the different weather is beautiful in its own way! Once I did I appreciated the beauty and grandeur of Alaska. You may want to share this thought with your fellow crewmembers and guests when appropriate. Be well my friend.

The crazy thing is that I started watching your vlog a little bit before we went on our cruise on Odyssey. It was actually the last cruise on your prior contract. As it happens, our next cruise is out of Vancouver on Ovation (in May). Wishing you the best as you start your next contract. Based on the number of tours that are sold out, it is looking like a very full ship. A far different story than our one on Odyssey.
