    I enjoy watching you two laughing at each new bend in the road. Jay, I love your wry smile and how you and Dee compliment each other! I've taken a cruise on the Holland America Westerdam to the carribbean... it's a wonderful ship. I haven't lived in Alaska for quite a while, but those mountains still take my breath away! Thanks for all of the videos from your 28-day Arctic Circle cruise. It's going to be tough to top this one!! Stay safe and rock on!! ❤

    I was in Dutch Harbor 1978-79 working 2, 6 month contracts processing King Crab and shrimp for college money. We lived and worked on an old WW2 Liberty Ship that they hauled up from the lower 48. At that time the old submarine dock(huge) was still standing and you could explore some of the bunkers. Bunker Hill and Ballyhoo provide excellent hiking and salmon returned to spawn in Unalaska river.
    No bridge, all travel by boat and our company used a old LCV to ferry us. have been looking at cruises that include this port and Kodiak Island. Thank you for your content😊

    That's a lot of walking like hitting both Universal studios parks in FL in one day. I find double socks helps.
    Dutch Harbor is so far out there it's in the Hawaiian time zone.
    The deadliest catch crab boats come in there. I enjoyed your video and scenery.

    google says this: An aperitif martini is a martini that can be considered an aperitif because it contains vermouth or sherry. Aperitifs are typically light, refreshing, and dry drinks that are served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. They often have bitter notes, herbal infusions, and subtle sweetness. Some other examples of aperitif cocktails include the Negroni, Gin and Tonic, Vodka Tonic, and Aperol Spritz.

    Since the start of this series of vlogs I have been eagerly awaiting this video since Dutch Harbor is not a place that is cruised to. As an avid Deadliest Catch viewer and fan I am a little disappointed there was no reference to it since the base of operations for it is in Dutch Harbor. But I do understand if you are not familiar with the show there would be no reference to it.

    • @parodeejay

    Cute town, as many Alaskan towns are. Beautiful pictures of the eagles, except the one in the nest, she had a mean look, maybe protecting her babies! When you go to a town I’ve never heard of, or know where it is, I go to the map and find it!

  • @sueturaninalexander6520

    I’m really enjoying your video of your trip. I’ll be going on Holland America’s Noordam on a 14 day collectors voyage in July of 2025. We leave from Vancouver. Thanks again. I have never been to Alaska nor been on a HAL ship. I have cruised elsewhere on Princess to the British Isles and Celebrity to the Caribbean.

    Was looking forward to this one, because I've been curious about Dutch Harbor because of the show "Deadliest Catch". Unfortunately for me, the repeated musical references to eagles, kind of ruined it. 🙁

      Yeeeah, it’s not a show that we actively watch, though they did mention it onboard in a presentation prepping us for Dutch Harbor. It appears to be mostly a winter-time season for them, so I don't know that there was much Deadliest Catch stuff going on in the summer during our visit!!
