Join us as we travel to Miami for our cruise onboard Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady! We started our day in Southern Ohio flew from Cincinnati to Miami thanks to American Airlines. We made it to our hotel, Urbanica Fifth, where we had time to enjoy the pool and soak up some of that sweet Florida sunshine. We had an awesome dinner at Editor Pizza, at our hotel. It was a great start to an even greate...

Our second full day at sea on board the Ovation of the Seas. Talk about a rough day of sailing! The ship and crew handled the rough water very well. At no point did we feel scared or unsafe.

Ovation of the Seas - Endicott Arm & Juneau, Alaska
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.2 года назад
What an amazing day! We woke up as sailing the Endicott Arm. A narrow fjord in southeast Alaska where, if you're lucky, you get to see Dawes Glacier at the end. Due to the conditions of the water and volume of ice in the water we were not able to make it all the way down the fjord. The scenery was so beautiful there was no disappointment! We had an easy going morning on the Ovation of the Seas ...

WE STAYED IN THE LEMURIA EARTHSHIP IN TAOS, NEW MEXICO!
Fantastic videos. What time of year were you there? The weather looks phenomenal!
Great video, loved the hotel choice in Miami and the pizza looked awesome. Hi we are new to your channel after finding you on Instagram. Can’t wait to watch the next episode 👏
That will be me in September 😢
Hi was that train included with the ship price or no
Hey Tony! The train ride was additional but we purchased our tickets through Royal Caribbean. It was super easy and definitely a worthwhile excursion!
We are going in august. You videos are very helpful.
We’re so glad to hear that! Enjoy your cruise! 🚢
I'm going to guess that Kyle is a Scorpio and Annie is an Aries.
Close! Kyle is an Aries and Annie is a Leo.
Writing exactly now Dec 6, 2023 @ 9:16 PM from the Lemuria - WOW! What an amazing/magical experience. 35 degrees outside. 70 degrees inside. Calming affect here (OMFG!) is simply not explainable.
The Lemuria is such a wonderful place to be. Very calming and cozy. We can’t wait to visit again someday!
Cool camera what is it I want to get one
What was all the paperwork for?
Hey rachelkelch1421! The paperwork was for the port valet service for our luggage to the airport. We highly recommend this service! It makes disembarking easy peasy!
Like Alaska Cruise, went there last month 🎉 👍
That’s great! We are so excited to go back to Alaska! What was your favorite port?
@@richardfamilyproductions Glacier, nice river in Ketchikan, Capitol of Juneau, how about you?
@@SEATTLE4KWalking sounds like fun! We really enjoyed Skagway and Sitka but it was all so wonderful! Unbelievably beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Was it hard to find the earthship, for how off the grid it is?
Thanks Jeff! It was surprisingly easy to find! We arrived after dark and found the Lemuria pretty easily. We had a map with instructions that made it easy to locate!
That was so much fun to watch!! When is the next video coming out. Subscribed and waiting !
Thank you princesshanaa1! Very kind of you. We have a lot of fun making these videos and appreciate your patience! We should have another episode drop in a within couple weeks!
You guys are cute! And you drink like champions. Wow.
Thank you Luna Rose! We may have gotten a little carried away on day one. Something about the Valiant Lady just keeps the drinks flowing! 😁
U guys look like a fun couple. I leave next week for a Hawaii to Vancouver cruise on Ovation. Looks like a good ship. I've been on two Oasis class so it'll be nice to have a switch up. I hope the five days at sea are relatively calm. It's the Pacific, quite a rough ocean.
Thanks Davey7358! We try to have fun, especially when we are cruising! By the time I got back to you, you’re probably onboard the Ovation. Have a great trip! Let us know how it goes cruising the Pacific 🚢
Hi how did you get to Sitka National Forrest?
Hey Christian! Our ship stopped in Sitka and we were able to walk right over after walking through town! It was a great excursion and didn't cost anything.
Great tips for Miami! Super helpful for a first timer.
Thank you Sarah! 😁
Burger I would’ve loved to of seen how it was cooked and if you liked it? Also, at the beginning you said that was stressful what was it Check In was it really busy? Vic in Ga we don’t have reservations yet but I’ve been reading all about it trying to make my decision if I want to go because I don’t wanna have to be on a boat that’s loud all the time I have MS and I need a little chill time. :-)
Burgers were great! Easily the best I have had on a cruise ship. Annie loved the impossible burger. I believe they are grilled in a flattop griddle “diner style.” Check in was a tad bit busy. It would have been helpful to have a screenshot of our check in time from the app prior to arriving. Plus if we would have waited to put our wrist bands on until we sat down… or understood better how to put them on LOL. We found it was the right mix of party and chill time for us. Definitely nice to have a balcony you can retreat to when your want some peace and quiet. However there are so many nice seating areas onboard a balcony isn’t a necessity.
We're going on Valiant Lady in a few weeks, thanks for sharing!
Of course, thanks for watching! You’re going to have a blast.
Do you have a similar itinerary?
We just did a cruise out of miami on royal and saw the virgin ship. It looked cool. Btw how much was your flight to miami? We drove cuz 1st i like driving there but it also was more to fly than to drive there and hotel.
That’s awesome Tom! I’m glad you guys were able to do that. I think our flight was ballpark $350 round trip per person. Definitely cheaper to drive!
@@richardfamilyproductions kool cant wait to see rest where did u guys go
@@thomaslanham2195 this trip we went to Roatán, Honduras, Costa Maya, Mexico and Bimini, Bahamas. Had a couple sea days along the way.
Great to see you dropping videos again. Looking forward to the next instalments!
Thanks for keeping up with our channel! We are so excited to share this series. 😁
I love the music changes! 🎶
Thanks Hayden! I tried for more of a transitional approach this time instead of a constant sound track.
That pizza - O M G 😮
Pizza was 10/10! 🤤 Almost worth the trip to Miami for the pizza alone!
Another series ?!?! 🎉 awesome!
Hey Chris! Yes, we are back with another series! We are so excited to share. Videos will drop Friday evenings for the next 6 weeks.
Great video footage 👍
Thank you!! This was a fun one. Episode 1 of our Virgin Voyage trip is dropping tonight at 5:00 EDT. Keep your eyes peeled!
Did you need a passport for the white pass railway?
Great question Christine, we did not need our passports for the White Pass Railway. That was such a fun ride. We can't wait to do it again someday!
Ovation may 19, 2023 thank you
Of course Christine! Thanks for watching. Your cruise is right around the corner. You’re going to have a blast!
Great series!! I thoroughly enjoyed it!! We are heading to Alaska in July of this year. Your videos have definitely helped with the planning process!!
Thanks Aaron! We hope you enjoy every minute of your cruise. It was a life changing trip for us! We appreciate you watching our videos and your kind words! Sure means a lot.
@@richardfamilyproductions anytime!! If you find your way to Louisville Ky, hit us up and let’s have a drink or two!!
@@aaronreul2430 we will do that!! Louisville is a good time. 🎶
Nice video’s. We are going in early May 2023. So excited
Hey thanks Billy! That’s just around the corner now. Close enough you might find yourself subject to “cruise brain”! (only capable of thinking about your upcoming adventure) 😂
I can't wait to see in person.
This is a beautiful day on the itinerary. Enjoy!!
Thanks for this amazing video. I would like to ask you something. Last month was my first Royal Caribbean Cruise and I am planning a new one and I wish it was in Alaska. My question is: How much cost the excursions approximately?
Hey Adrian! Welcome to Royal Caribbean cruising! They are a great line to cruise with. It seems you can spend as much as you want on excursions but Annie and I tend to stick to the excursions that are around $100 a person. Sometimes a little more sometimes a little less. We feel that’s an affordable price point to experience the local culture.
Those rough seas scare me! Iĺl be packing sea sick meds and patches. Iḿ going in end of June, hopefully that will be better , what month did you go?
Hey Cheryl you will have a great time! Definitely bring some Dramamine in case the motion bothers you. We felt it was a great part of the experience even if it did slow us down a bit. Our cruise was the first week of June 2022. If nothing else the rocking motion of the ship makes for a great nap time 😴
We have been to our first cruise with Ovation of The Seas in last december 2022 in south pacific. It was fantastic unforgettable tour. We've booked alaska cruise, Seattle-Alaska-Vancouver. I hope youe future videos would help us.
We hope so too! The Ovation is a wonderful ship! It sounds like you have a great trip ahead of you! I might say we’re a tad bit jealous 😉 Check out our videos from port days to get an idea what to expect while in port. You can also find a recap video with all of our tips and tricks from our Alaska cruise. Thanks for your support and we hope you have a blast on your trip.
Anyone who's been on this ship, or any of the Royal Caribbean's ships....what are the individual drink prices, if you don't buy the alcohol package. The daily cost for the package seems high, but maybe not if individual drink are $10, 20, 30 or more.....
From what I recall the average cocktail is around $13.00. I think you can get some alcoholic beverages as cheap as $8.00 for your bud light level beers. Fancier cocktails were in the $15-$20 range. We opted not to have drink package for this cruise. We have 4 free drink vouchers with Diamond Crown and Anchor. Had we not had those vouchers a drink package would have been cost effective. Drinks add up quickly… especially on those late night 😂
I've been on South Pacific Cruise on Ovation of The Seas in December 2022. I paid for beverage package. For me it does not worth. In my view if someone like Beer and wine only it is better not to buy beverage package. Buy water bottle package then you have water in your state room, otherwise you need to pay for bottled water. I can give a hint as well if you like, during the Art Auction they serve champagne free. Try it. I always drank Heineken and astubby is about US$7.00. From Melbourne Australia.
@@nihandakalpana5787 yes we will not cruise again without the water bottle package! We felt it was unnecessarily difficult to keep drinking water in our stateroom. That’s great advice.
Nice video! We are doing our Alaska Cruise this coming summer 2023 and are so excited to go for the first time and vlog it. We will watch your other videos to learn more. From several of the other great you tubers we decided to Embark from Vancouver Canada it sounds more organized and easier we will see and we haven't been to Canada in 25 years. You did a great job filming, editing and communicating with us. Good filming of ship and your room. We will now have to see how your ports go. We are new subscribers and supporters we wish you more great adventures and a growing channel your off to a great start! 👍
Thanks so much for your kindness! This was such a fun trip. You will have a blast on your cruise! We tried to make these videos useful to anyone who may be interested or plans to go take an Alaska Cruise. Definitely encourage you to check out the rest of the videos in this series. Hopefully they’ll help you prepare for your trip!
@@richardfamilyproductions absolutely we will watch them all. We love finding other channels to support especially since we know all the hard work that goes into it. The community is so good at inspiring and supporting each other just love it!
@@justramblinaround absolutely! We will check out your channel. We are looking forward to your vlog on your Alaska cruise.
No video yet?? 😢😢
You are right! I just started working on our Virgin Voyage Videos. You can expect a video before next weekend! We appreciate your patience.
@@richardfamilyproductions i can wait...not trying to be annoying
@@campusx4195 certainly not! We appreciate the follow up 😁
Going in May! Thanks for the info! Very helpful. Do you remember which side of the ship had the best scenery for Endicott Arm or does it matter which side the balcony is on?
You’re going to have a blast! Luckily with the Endicott Arm you sail up the fjord, spin around and sail back down the same way you came in. Both sides of the ship have pretty equal views! Due to the water conditions our sailing couldn’t make it all the way down to Dawes Glacier but it is still a gorgeous part of the trip.
We've heard horror stories of 4 hr waits to get through the line. When did you arrive, how long did it take to get onto the ship, any tips?
Thanks to my wife we scheduled the earliest check in time, 11:30 if I remember correctly. When we do it again I would plan to arrive 30 minutes ahead of the booking time. I believe we made it through in about an hour or hour and a half.
🛳️❤️
Hard to beat a good Alaska cruise!
I am going on ovation in may, I may have told you. Not sure im overly excited vs. a caribbean cruise but I gonna try it once. would you go back to alaska? I always judge a vacation spot if someone will go back a second or third time. I am looking forward to my extended caribbean cruise. So you have to pay for the Northstar? I thought it was free...im confused
We would love to go back to Alaska! It was such an amazing trip and the Ovation was a great vessel for it. It’s different than a Caribbean cruise but in all the best ways (maybe besides temperature). Average day was somewhere between 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Some rainy days may have been colder. The scenery is really what makes the trip. Alaska is one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited. So vast and inspiring. The North Star has free spots available but they book up quickly so make sure to grab one if you’re planning on doing that. We definitely recommend the North Star experience! They also have upgraded rides that cost money. The ride is longer duration and also rotate out over the side of the ship.
@@richardfamilyproductions hey man...where are the Virgin cruise videos??? I am curious to see the ship
@@campusx4195 coming up shortly! Hopefully within the next week or so. I appreciate your patience. Between flight training and spring semester starting I haven’t made much time for video editing. Stay tuned I can assure you the Valiant Lady is one beautiful ship!!
@@richardfamilyproductions sweet!!!! cant wait...flight training??? like commercial pilot training...very cool!
When did you go? We were in the Sept. 9 sailing. We had the most beautiful weather! Sunny and clear skies.
Hey Penelope! That is great. We took our cruise the first week of June. While we had some rain we absolutely loved our time in Skagway! How about you, did you enjoy this port?
Welcome to Dallas!! You’re about 25 min away!
Thanks Chris! We had a great time in Grapevine. There’s plenty to do in Dallas!
We are leaving from Vancouver and then no other Canadian ports...all Alaska and I think 4 days at sea in total. I am excited to see some whales, I hope! Other than that I am not sure what else to do. So did you find the average older on the Alaska cruise...I hear that not many younger ppl are on the ships which will be a different vibe im thinking.
That is interesting you’re leaving out of Vancouver and returning to Seattle. We didn’t witness any whales breach but we did see a couple spouting from the windjammer and our balcony. Truly amazing! It was primarily an older crowd but there were still plenty of younger folks and family’s on our sailing. It was a good mix of people.
@@richardfamilyproductions Thanks for the info...guess I will be wandering around the ship at night by myself....lol. I will be with my parents and they are older, so when they turn in for the night, I like to find things to do and people to hang out with. Maybe there will be other single guys around with nothing to do as well.
Yes I’m sure you will! There was plenty of night life to enjoy. Annie and I only stayed out really late one night but it was always a good time. All the excitement during the day wore us out. The music hall gets hoppin! Great place to hang out in the evenings. Plenty of people to mingle among. All this talk has got me wishing I was onboard the Ovation now! 😂
I dont like the rough seas, that part is awful :( We played bingo last time on Allure and it was not much fun. I think they played 3 or 4 games and it was over in no time. The prizes have changed too...remember when they would give free cruises as the big prize..no more. I did almost win slot tournament but got beat at the very end. I have never been on Ovation so looking forward to exploring the ship and I am more used to the Oasis Class with Aqua Shows and the open boardwalk on the back of the ship so I know this will be different...still cant wait!
Yes the bingo prizes anymore seem to be cash prizes. Annie and I always joke how we will walk straight to Next Cruise if we win! The Ovation is different from the Oasis class (that was the only class I was familiar with prior to this cruise.) The Quantum class ships are laid out very nicely! Lots of space indoors to enjoy and stay warm with out ever feeling cooped up! One of my favorite parts of the Ovation was 270. Such a fun and versatile space with amazing views.
Will be on Ovation of the Seas soon on Alaska cruise. Also traveling from east side of the country so not looking forward to the trip home. End of Cruise depression is a real thing and I hate it....but looking forward to Alaska and Canada adventure. Have done 40 Caribbean cruises so this will be a new expericence for me and im not sure about it but going to try once. Next year me and two friends are doing a 60 day back to back to back...etc. crusise, you get the idea. Yup, two months on a cruise ship!
Wow! You’re a true cruiser. You will have a great time on your Alaska Cruise. We are longing to go back. The scenery is so amazing and the Ovation is a great ship for the journey. Such a beautiful part of the country! There is so much undisturbed nature. Check out the rest of our series if you haven’t already. It’ll clue you in on what to expect each day. I’m excited to hear more about your back to back to back and so on cruise. 2 months of cruising is a dream come true!! Find us on Instagram and Facebook so we can stay in touch. Happy cruising! 🚢
@@richardfamilyproductions Thanks! Will let you know how it goes. We are leaving from Vancouver and return to Seattle which is odd...so will spend day before in Vancouver and day of arrival in Seattle. Then the long flight home and loss of 4 hrs. I think with time change. I has to check the weather but I assume its never really hot...im going in May.
Yes our trip was the first week of June and I would say average temperatures on a clear day was around 60. We had a couple rainy days that were windy and cold but it’s all a part of the experience!
@@richardfamilyproductions When is your next cruise..now I am interested in your views and info. I have 4.5 months to go and cant wait!
@@campusx4195 hey man! We are on the Valiant Lady in a couple weeks. We are so excited! This will be our first cruise on Virgin Voyages.
Hi Kyle, what camera/(gimbal?) are you using? Stabilisation is very good. James
Hey! I missed your comment somehow. Sorry for a slow reply. This whole trip was filmed in the DJI Pocket 2. It’s a handy little camera and shoots pretty good quality footage. Love the built in gimbal.
Enjoying your videos. Subscribed!
Thanks Cruising and Snoozing! You have some neat content on your page. It’s awesome to share your adventures with the world 😎
That's pretty amazing they handled your bags all the way, I thought they just carried them off and you had to take them the rest of the way. Any ideas when or where the next adventure will be? This was really cool watching - gave me some insight of what to look forward to next year on the same cruise!
Yes the port valet service is definitely worthwhile! I believe it was $20 a bag but makes for easy traveling. Annie's bag was overweight so we ended up saving money. They waive any overweight fees I believe as an incentive to use the port valet service. You are going to have so much fun on your Alaska cruise! We are heading to Dallas this month and then to Miami for a Western Carribean Cruise onboard Virgin Voyages Valliant Lady in early December! We will have some exciting content coming here in the near future. We sure appreciate you following this series! Still blows us away there are people that enjoy these videos.
How long will you be in Dallas? Your videos are fun and enjoyable - they’re “real” and simple, not someone trying to get likes or views and just posting crap content. I definitely enjoyed the journey!
@@chrisspatcher2800 thanks so much! That is the ultimate compliment. It’s just a quick trip to Dallas for Thanksgiving. Annie has some family down there. We will be in the Dallas area for four days.
If you have a little extra time and want to save $20-35 getting to the airport next time you’re in Seattle, ask your cab driver to take you to the nearest LINK station to the port, which I think is Westlake Mall and then get on the LINK light rainless train back to SeaTac for only $3 (cab or Uber over to the Link station should only be about $7-10 and it usually runs at least $50 to go from the port to the Airport directly, compared to $10-13 if you add the extra step
That is a great tip! Thanks for sharing. We had heard about the LINK but didn’t consider it at the time. We most definitely will next time we are in Seattle. We really appreciate your support @edviaira6891!
hi , how often was the return shuttle ride? did you have enough time to do nugget falls and the glacier? we went there a few months ago but they gave us only an hour. we would like to stay longer on our next cruise in May 2023. how much did you pay for the Glacier Exoress? did you book them ahead?
Hey Kathy, thanks for your questions! If I remember correctly the shuttle ran twice every hour. So you could board every 30 minutes. We had plenty of time in Juneau. I believe we were in port for around 5 hours. We did not book the shuttle ahead of time. We just walked up to one of the booths that are located right off the port. Definitely a tourist trap but it got us to the Mendenhall Glacier for around $90 total. While it was the most expensive bus ride of our lives it was money well spent! We hope you enjoy your cruise in May 2023! It will be here before you know it.
