    Love the energy in this vlog so much! So exciting to see the "first ride" of Disney World, aka the MCO tram, become the first ride of this new adventure.

    I went on 3 Holland America Line Cruises. All three on the inside passage throughout of Alaska. You and David are going to have a BLAST. Disney and Holland America best food and my two favorite cruise lines.

    David’s silhouette in the cabin shot reminds me of the Ghost Boy from Three Men and a Baby. 😂

    Your video skills are getting really excellent, Michael! That opening shot from the airport monorail- woo hoo! I have not been on Holland America yet, so I'm very interested to see and hear your impressions of them. I was in Seattle at the beginning of the month and spent a couple of hours at Pike Place. I was told by a tour guide that the long lines at the Starbuck's are especially due to there being merchandise you can only buy there and at no other Starbuck's. It is a beautiful, classic ship! Hello, Dave! Good to see you two traveling together again!

    @jayliu15 Před 5 měsíci

    Isn't the Inside Passage technically between BC and Vancouver Island or the east side of Vancouver Island. This is the route for most cruise ships embarking from Vancouver BC. From Seattle, the travel north and south bound is west of Vancouver Island.

    Hi Michael, love your blog about the Alaska cruise. Looking forward seeing some stunning landscapes. I'm from The Netherlands and the game with de discs which you have to slide into 4 gates is called "sjoelen". It's a Dutch game. My parents have it as well.

  • @goblinintelligence8395
    @goblinintelligence8395 Před rokem +4

    With DCL stereotypically being thought of as for kids and Holland America for seniors, a lot of people would be surprised at how much they have in common - dark-hulled ships that pay homage to maritime tradition, great food that doesn't go too heavy on specialty dining, sophisticated areas for adult relaxation... In other words, they're actually quite similar. And more importantly, I think they're both wonderful, accessible cruise experiences. Looking forward to this vlog series!

  • @exploringcoasttocoast0203

    Hi - new subscriber here - I have questions. When you were at Pike Place Market where was your luggage? (did you drop it off at Pier 91?) Did you stay at a hotel the day before? How did you get from the Market to the ship? (was that an Uber?) We have our flight and cruise booked, it's all the little details that I'm trying to figure out. I like that I feel like I am discovering stuff with you. I love that you're talking about the temperatures you are feeling. I'm in the process of choosing clothes and this is helping!

  • @chuckoneill2023
    @chuckoneill2023 Před rokem

    Michael, in your opening montage --- was that shot of your shuttle pass taken at the airport or was it at a hotel? Just kinda curious. Looked like you were standing in some sort of pedestrian overpass.
    We did Alaska with NCL last year, it was a great trip,but may try a different line if we go back.
