#Alaska #Cruise #Vlog
I'm loving these travel vlogs. I have always wanted to go to Alaska. It's so beautiful.
thank you so much! it was our first time and we loved it!!
Ok - after watching this, now I really want to go on a cruise! Great video and very informative. Can’t wait to see your next one on your cabin!!
thanks!! yes, I'll publish that one probably later this week!!
Superb editing and storytelling! Looking forward to more content! 🤙
thank you very much!
Love the cruise!
😀 did you go on it? we had such an amazing time
I'm going on this exact cruise 9/17/22, thanks for this, your video was excellent and done very well!
I really appreciate that! We had such a great time and I hope you do as well!
Wow you guys are very lucky to enjoy cruise 🛳 beautiful ❤ scene ❤ I like your capture
Very interesting video
thank you! we had so much fun
My concern is areas to relax and enjoy views with family while having breakfast, etc. We just did Ovation of the Seas and it was spectacular. I bit crowded. But we always had somewhere to sit together and take in the views.
Yeah, it's always crowded isn't it!
Ah, we did the same cruise as you actually, and were also completely blown away with the standard of the service - we found everything to just be so so impressive!
yes! they did such a great job have you ever been on a different cruise??
@@MikeTrachtenberg Yeah, I have - I started cruising the year before COVID struck, and Discovery was my 12th (I think). I absolutely love it - have you done any others?!
nope, this was my first! won't be my last!
@@MikeTrachtenberg ah, cool! I’ve started to vlog my cruises over on my channel if you’re interested - Discovery Princess is the first vlog series, but you can see others ships over there! :)
My family is booked on Discovery Princess next July on an Alaskan cruise & we are so excited. Thank you for your video, I found it very helpful. We have never cruised before, but we are very much looking forward to this one 🙂
I'm so glad you found this to be helpful! that means a lot. as you saw, we had a blast and I hope you do too!
How was it????
@@briangreco3074, we postponed and now sail in a few weeks. Very anxious!!
@@kateb1216 look forward to hearing how it is
Your right, looks like everyone enjoyed the pizza!!! LOL (day after day). Can't say as I blame you. Looks like a nice trip. Great video.
haha we definitely liked the pizza! thanks, Bryce!
Great video! The quality of your video is stunning! Thank You for sharing. Just curious...what camera(s) and editing software did you use?
thanks so much. really appreciate it. you'll be surprised to hear that 100% of the video is recorded on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and I use CapCut on my phone for the editing!
@@MikeTrachtenberg awesome! Thanks so much!
awesome... sending love and support from canada and canadianfrozenSoul
thank you!! sending love back!
Great video. I recommend you try Norwegian cruise lines. More bang for your buck!
love that. thank you! I'll definitely keep Norwegian in mind!
Thanks for the video. What time of year was this?
thanks for checking it out! great question. this was first week of August 2022.
Hi, enjoyed your video. Can you tell me what day was the Glacier day? did your itinerary go to Glacier Bay or a different Glacier?
Thank you! The glacier was Dawes Glacier. The scenic cruising through there was on day 4 after the Ketchikan day.
Hey Mike, we're going on crown princess to alaska in 2 weeks. Can you share some insights on medallion wifi and drink package? Also, did you have cell phone service at the ports? Thank you in advance. Great video!
Hey - neither my wife or I got the WiFi or the drink package, so we had access to water, iced tea, and lemonade. the buffet had little smoothie cups out and we could get juices in the mornings. The medallion app is fully accessible without getting WiFi. I have TMobile and I had roaming cell service at all ports! let me know if you think of anything else!
So helpful! Could you pls share the details of Skagway car rental? Thanks!
yes, of course.. we used Affordable Car Rental. I called them to make the reservation and it was the easiest pick up and drop off ever. The owners run a restaurant & the car rental is right at the restaurant!
You captured each day beautifully with the views, activities and the food. Can’t wait to cruise. You even got some great waterfall Wednesday shots.
thanks!! it was such a good time
Thank you for your informative video! We will be going on the Discovery Princess to Alaska this summer. I have some questions...is it easy to get a Lyft to the Mendenhall Glacier and how much is the ride? When you rented a car in Skagway, how long was your drive to Carcross and did you turn back there to go back to Skagway?
thanks a lot! It was easy to get the Lyft but it drops you off about a mile before the glacier (they aren't allowed to go any closer). I think it was about $40. if I could do that again, I probably would have taken a bus. the bus drops you off at the same place but would have been much cheaper. It was about an hour and a half to Carcross but we made several stops to enjoy the views. We thought that was a good place to turn around. let me know if you have any other questions!
@Mike Trachtenberg Good to know about the Carcross drive, we probably will allow 5 hrs or so for that trip.
Is there a bus from the dock to the Mendenhall Glacier and how much per person? Thanks.
@janesimmons8001 you can book the excurio s thru your app and they take you and bring you back to your ship. We did the salmon hatchery ,Mendenhall glacier and then to the Salmon bake for dinner. The bus took us to all these stops and back to the ship again.
When did you take your cruise? Helpful video.
this was first week of August 2022. thank you!
Did you tender onshore in Skagway? We did.
Yes, Skagway was so beautiful!
Great video! New subscribers here!
thank you very much!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Im booked for this same cruise in June. Any tips you would recommend would be appreciated!
No tips. You will have an amazing time! But feel free to let me know if you have any questions
Do you think I should get the wifi or I should be ok with a Tmobile hotspot? @@MikeTrachtenberg
Great timing on the video. We go on the same cruise in a month. What do you recommend taking and not taking. Never been on a cruise before. Thanks!!
oh, awesome! I think we lucked out with the weather, but a raincoat, binoculars, and I was happy to have brought a coffee mug with a top (they only have regular mugs). let me know if you have any other specific questions!
@@MikeTrachtenberg did you travel recently? We are trying to gauge the weather. I saw the backpack, that seems like a good idea. Coffee cup, another good one. Was there anything you wish you brought but didn’t.
@@jjwurtz we traveled first week of August. not really. we packed pretty well!
@@MikeTrachtenberg could you share a top 10 list of thing to make sure you bring? Sorry so many question. Just trying to prepared.
that's a good one! i suppose it depends on what you plan on doing, but lightweight jacket, camera with zoom lens, waterproof shoes, swimsuit, sunglasses, bottle of wine (they let you bring a bottle per person), "dress-up" clothes for the dress up nights, workout clothes (if you want to use the gym), sunscreen, portable chargers, your own water bottle!, they provide body wash/shampoo/hand soap/lotion, bring your passport. from what i hear, temps can be pretty chilly in september. i would bring a packable down jacket! i hope this is helpful :)
How much was your car rental? Is it easy p get he rental near the port?
I think it was $140 for the day. it was a short walk from the port. maybe a mile or less.
super helpful! what time of year did you go? I am wanting to get a gage for when the weather would be nice like this video.
Hey, thank you! Happy to hear that! This was from the first week in August 2022! I should have included that in there haha
