We Took and Cruise to Alaska and we were SHOCKED by This!!

It surprises me that these two don't have more subscribers. I recently found this channel and feel it's the best cruise channel out there!

I’m a Brit and I drink 98% Earl Grey tea and 2% Mint tea. Carry my bags with me wherever I go 😁 Loving the Alaska series, looks amazing!

Ben and David really are the best, I've followed them for quite a while now. It is a shame that there are so many sad people in this world that don't support them for being who they are (no it's not a lifestyle choice) You guys are amazing, you put in so much hard work for your viewers and I really do appreciate it. Im loving this alaska vlog and cant wait to see your next series

You two are my absolute favorite cruisers. ❤

One thing to bear in mind with both Alaska and Hawaii is that cost of living is VERY high as compared to mainland US (maybe due to cost of getting supplies to those areas?). This probably impacts cost of excursions pretty significantly.

When I was in the Navy, we mixed the instant cocoa packets with our coffee when we stood midwatch. Made it almost drinkable! Just a suggestion.

Great vlog guys! My father graduated HS in Juneau and he always remarked about the extraordinary cost of living. I think he said a gallon of milk or a dozen eggs were around $7-10 each. Their house was just a mile from the glacier in the 1980’s, so him and his siblings would swim in the glacier water every summer. The glacier has receded significantly since then, but that was a huge source of their memories and love for the land. They would fish at 3:00am in the midnight sun during the summer, too.

Saying this cruise might be your very favorite of all, is a massive compliment to NCL and Alaska! Ready now, sign me up! xo

Best excursion in Ketchikan is flightsseeing Over the misty fjords. We have been on several Alaskan cruises. For this we went off the ship and found the flight seeing and bargained the man down For the last two seats on the small plane, seaplane, which landed on a lake. Beautiful. On a cruise like this pick One expensive excursion that involves helicopter or a small plane so you can see what it's like to fly over the beautiful scenery and maybe land on a glacier or somewhere. Then for the other ports, pick one whale watching, and one port where are you walk around the town such as Skagway, and maybe do a bus trip out into the wilderness or go to a salmon bake too. That way you've hit the high points and it's not costing you too much. Definitely book excursions off the ship to save money.

Just a tip. You can purchase the flavored instant cappuccino powders to take on your cruises. Doesn't take up much space in packing and when added to nasty coffee it can save your day. Just a teaspoon per cup. Thank me later. Lol.

Thanks for sharing your cruise on Norwegian. We just returned from our Alaska trip-land and sea on Holland America line. HA has their own hotels and resorts, together with Princess cruises. We were fortunate with great weather. Started the land tour in Anchorage, took a train to Denali, toured by bus to Fairbanks, flu Fairbanks to Dawson. Explored Dawson gold mining area with visit to dredges from 1910. Experienced some gold excavation, from Dawson we went to Whitehorse . Denali we explored the national park, saw moose, sheep and a bear. Our last stop was Skagway prior to boarding the ship. Visited old town and the rainforest park above the city, visited the old Whore house, and the miners cemetery. I advise to all who enjoy walking, check out the local trails prior to booking excursions. Happy travels!

These videos are the highlight of my week. I've had the cruise vlogs playlist playing in the background while I work at my new remote job from home, it keeps me so relaxed... and sane lol.

Thank you, Ben and David, for helping me get over my fear of taking a cruise. My first cruise is booked for November!!! Love EVERYTHING about the two of you and have recommended your videos to so many people!

There are some times when taking the cruise line excursions are worth it. We took a cruise to Mexico and booked an excursion to the Kohunlich Mayan ruins. Two hours into the deep Yucatan and two hours back. We booked through Disney and it was a fortune, but omg it was spectacular and most of all, I felt very safe with the tour operators. They knew what they were doing, were super nice and very knowledgeable.

We have an Alaskan cruise booked for May 2024 and are finding you are so right. The excursion are so expensive. Trip is really adding up to be the most expensive ever.

Thats why i love this channel, you get great company, great scenery, but also good information that leaves you well informed when you book your cruise, great video guys 🚢

Alaska has been my favorite cruise destination so far. Went back in 2016 on Royal Caribbean. For our shore excursion we took a helicopter ride, landed on the Mendenhall Glacier, then hiked across the ice. We had a gorgeous blue sky day. Spectacular views! An experience I will never forget. And sadly, with the rate the glaciers are receding, one I'll probably never get to experience again.

Ben needs to host a food show. Love your food comments!

Love this trip. I was there 5 years ago on Holland America.. Great memories. I love the 2 of you. I feel like I'm traveling with family. We did a canoe trip to the glacier so we were able to touch the glacier. This was mid May..

I love your whole series on Hawaii and Alaska. It was fantastic!!!!
