- Episode 5 - In our next video of our Koningsdam cruise to Alaska we visit Glacier Bay, one of the reasons we booked this cruise. Did it live up to our expectations?
We also discuss the perks of booking a Neptune Suite, show you around the exclusive Neptune Lounge, visit the Grand Dutch Cafe, enjoy more entertainment and have a flutter at the casino. Did we win big?
We completed the Titan Travel Alaskan Deluxe Voyage which included a land tour of Canada from Calgary to Vancouver including the Rocky Mountaineer and a cruise on Holland America Konningsdam cruise ship to Alaska in July 2023.

Trying to go back and catch up on all your videos since we have been away for 2 months. Paul, love that shirt...made me laugh!
Thanks for catching up, they had so many great T-Shirts there!
What a wonderful time you`re having; and it`s nice to see some fellow canucks! Your personalities always add so much to the experience I think; you`re both so outgoing and lovely and make friends wherever you go.
Aww thanks! It was such a special cruise!
Every now and again, within a video, comes a frame that's so perfect or unique that it begs to be a large print framed on a wall. That special moment happens at 5:08 for me. Love it!
Oh thanks, yes that was one of many special moments!
We had such a wonderful time sharing this special day with you. When we were stuck out in the rain that day, it was so generous of you to welcome us to your spectacular balcony!! A day we will never forget! ❤
It was such a great day! Looking forward to exploring more of the world with you both! 😍
My grandson, Cairo's favorite animal.. the hippo.
Sorry we were a little confused, are we talking towel animals
Cool reference to Sir Peter Frampton!
Thanks, luckily I’m old enough to remember him😊
Another good day’s s sailing for you in some lovely scenery. My road trip meant I didn’t get to see this but a boat trip out of Whittier did take us up into the Harvard Arm with its many glaciers. We saw tens of sea otters who seemed to always know when the cameras tried to capture a shot as they would invariably dive down just as the shutter clicked. I hope you managed to see many more as they are, sadly, in decline. It is a good feeling to come out of the casino with a profit even if it is tiny isn’t it. Love the t-shirt.
LOL yes those otters don't want to have their photo taken! 😂😂 Lovely to see them! Always good to come out of the casino with something.....doesn't happen often!
I really enjoyed watching this. It was so calming watching the sailing with the beautiful music. By the way, we call aubergines eggplants in Oz, too.
Thanks! oh ok, good to know!
A brilliant video guys, brought back such wonderful memories. We did Dawes Glacier and Endicot Arm this year (as did Glacier Bay last trip) and stunning as it was not a patch on Glacier Bay. That is the must do Glacier!❤ 😊
Thanks, agree Marjerie Glacier was definitely the highlight, we had such a fantastic day!
Dear Carole and Paul. Thank you again for a fabulous video. Have you considered Ambassador Cruise Line or you will be cramping your style. I'd be interested in your views on this cruise line. Stay safe and please take care of each other.
LOL we have looked at Ambassador and would like to cruise with them, however the dates and prices haven't worked for us just yet!
Great job again from your own country ❤
Thank you!
I love watching your videos! I just get mesmerized, with your stories and footage. Funny parts from today's video was showing off Paul's new T-shirt and how excited he is to show the new one next day. Also, you gave kudos to Jerry for being so smart with meteorology and geography and yet he is in a T-shirt and light jacket lol. I was rooting along with you guys while you were playing at the casino. Thank you so much!
LOL you are so welcome, great to hear you enjoyed it!
I meant to say, I love you guys and enjoy your videos.@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
Having so much fun following along on this epic journey, and can't wait for the next installment! I've cruised to Alaska twice, and both times fjord/glacier day was my favorite. I've had an aft balcony, though not a suite (you lucky kids!) and I spend the entire day out there, to the very bitter end. I made a playlist of fitting music and I just enjoy. You're right, it's magical for sure and I'm sure Glacier Bay was far more grand than the two fjords I've seen. Paul walking around with the flags on his head like business as usual cracked me up ;) You two are just my favorites to watch!
Great to hear you are enjoying this series and that we are your favourites! Having this suite was just perfect for this cruise. LOL he forgot had them on 😂😂
I used to dismiss Alaska as a cruise option but this series of vlogs have been great and have really opened my eyes. It looks like a bucket list experience to me now!👍
Thanks jollyrob! That's great to hear!
I felt the same as you. But took a cruise in June. It was wonderful. We did the Hubbard glacier. So so so amazing. I would do it again.
You must cruise Alaska, absolutely magical! My husband dismissed it, and i insisted, he now says it's the best trip he has taken. Right up with our Nile cruise. We did a small boat cruise, 300 passengers, and took a zodiac up to the base of the glacier. Taken an expedition trip, they are amazing.
Breath taking 😮
Thanks! We had such a great day!
Another fab vlog! Making me so excited for our Koningsdam Alaskan adventure in 2025! Dutch Cafe looks amazing, can’t wait to try the pea soup (and all the sweet treats of course) 🐷😊
Thanks! The Dutch Cafe is a great spot, and the food was superb!
You two are fun. Sometimes with cruises they will take jetties out to glaciers. I wish I could go on a cruise like this. Do you keep all the amenities in your suite? I love amenities. Canada loves you too.
Aww thank you! Which amenities do you mean?
Wow! Private afternoon tea in Neptune Suite! Right Then!
It was fabulous 👌
Glacier Bay looks amazing, at least you managed to capture some of the footage when ice calved.
The band were great playing some fantastic music but hearing the entertainment ended when the party had just started seems very odd.
Yes Holland America definitely don’t do late nights but the live music is as good as it gets
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Sounds like a reason to start the party early in the evening then 😂
What amazing footage, beautiful glacier shots...Alaska is so majestic! Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you! It was a fabulous day!
Always a delight to watch your vlogs. Glacier Bay looks very beautifull. Sadly on our cruise somebody was so unfortuned to get so ill that the ship had to turn around so we did not see Glacier Bay. Good to know safety of a passenger is the most important. We just put it back on our wish-list. The Dutch Cafe was absolutely our favourite coffeespot on the ship. Hopefully we can go back on a Alaskan cruise some day. Everybody have a awesome cruise-life.
Thanks! Oh no what a shame but hopefully the passenger was OK!
That is allways first priority, we only heard the passenger was still alive when he was brought to a medical ship. Our holiday was fantastic, even without Glacier Bay.
What a great memory and trip. Glacier Bay is so amazing and we got to share it on the same day. So cool. Thank you so much for the mention as we passed each others ship. : ) We are looking to go again in Sept 24 and May 25.
It was just amazing! No problem we were waving too LOL! 😂😂 Hopefully rather than waving next time we can join you for a beer!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel we would love to travel with you both at some point. It would be a hoot. 😆❤️
@@Scotts-CruiseTravel It certainly would! 😍
My husband and I are planning our first trip to Alaska next May. I have been watching tons of videos about Alaska, Glacier Bay and Denali. I have really enjoyed watching your videos and can tell you two are an absolute joy to be around! I teared up when you had the panic attack over heights and think you are just precious. ♥ Take care and God Bless.
Oh thank you so much for your lovely comment. It has been the most amazing trip with so many emotions. Thanks for supporting our channel!
I went to Alaska the first week in May, and it was fantastic!
GREAT t-shirt Paul‼️ @PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel QUESTION: hubby & I are HAL folk and prefer mid/mid ship stateroom(s) due to less movement/motion - your AFT balcony is glorious, what is movement like?
Thanks! We hardly had any movement but we were blessed with glorious weather and very calm seas!
Great video,you so funny😂.
Beautiful footage and very informative I love it.
I like Canada to 🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰. 🤣🤣Hi from Okotoks Canada . Near Calgary.
Aww thank you so much! Hope to return to your wonderful country soon! 😍
It all looks beautiful ❤
It is an amazing part of the world!
HAL is so great!
Yes we really like them!
Another quality vlog, thank you.
Is it the hippo with the most powerful bite
Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Yes it’s the Hippo 😊😊
Talking of the the talk box, I now have show me the way, stuck in my head 👍
Hello from Houston, Tx. where it is 74F and sunny. I think back in the "dark ages" when I was in school, we learned that the Tasmanian devil would be up there with the strongest bite?
Is that the real one or the cartoon one 🤣🤣
I love buffalo!!
Our favourite machine! 😁
Right Then!😀
Right Then indeed 😍
So, is it Alaska or Norway?
Great question.......Norway has the most amazing scenery especially in the Fjords, however Alaska definitely has the wild life! Would happily cruise to both every year!
Many thanks for the vlog, my wife and watched this together and we now know that a Holland America Alaskan cruise is not for us.
Your very welcome! Do you like to party to the early hours when you cruise?
Oh Yes! but we love sunshine and a good time. long may it last as we are both OAPs now.@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
Fab, hope our paths cross one day! 😀
We would love it but we mostly cruise with Marella and the occasional luxury cruise thanks again for the entertainment.@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
@@mickthompson584 Your welcome!
Morning you pair xx can you tell us what ship you was on ❤
HAL Konningsdam 😀
Walrus ?
Us or something in the water?
I say squirrel, I’m guessing because of them biting through nuts, or I’m nuts? …. Is a squirrel a mammal? Ha ha! 🐿️
LOL 😂 yes you are nuts! 😍
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Hehe! 🤭
You could start your own slot machine channel 🤑
Lol! 😍🤣
Hyena
No not a Hyena! 😁
Hippos?
Its a shame the Neptune Lounge has no windows, I love the idea its a quiet space though, did it ever get busy? I hope you spent your win wisely
No it was always pretty quiet to be honest.
