    Serenade is one of the best smaller ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet. It's our favorite. Especially the schooner and safari areas. Great for pictures, entertainment and just hanging out.

    We were on the Alaskan cruise aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam 9/11-9/18. I love that the buffets aren’t “help yourself”. Holland is completely hands off, they even get the plates, load them with what you want and hand it to you.

I will tell you one thing you missed on the room tour, the mirrors on the side of the main mirror in the main part of the cabin (Not washroom) open for even more storage. That's where I hid the snacks from hubby.

    I really appreciate your videos taking us through your trip. I’m going to AK on Ovation on the 24th, God willing. I booked the holiday inn express when I heard you talk about the $15 cruise shuttle and I feel a little less stressed about my impending Covid tests (I scheduled 2 just in case) since Royal Caribbean will possibly have a testing facility on site for my embarkation in case there is some sort of problem. Anyhow thanks again for all the good info!!!

    I saw your ship sailing by Port Angeles. I just pieced it together lol. I was staying in an airbnb that had a view of the water and we sat there watching the ship, I have pictures of it. I knew the timing was right, went back and checked the photo details on my phone; September 6th 8:40pm, small world lol. I've only just started getting into cruising, still haven't been on a real one (did a 3 night concert cruise once, all ran by warped tour) yet. Anyway love the vlogs. Started watching because I was doing research on a particular ship, which lead to me watching a few more, which lead to me going back to 2020 and watching all the vlog series! Thanks for the great videos!

    You'll love a land trip in AK. I did a land tour of AK, 8/31/21 - 9/11/21 after my Southbound AK cruise was cancelled for the 3rd time. I had a great time. We went from Anchorage to Seward to Palmer (Matanuska Glacier hike) to Denali to Fairbanks (Artic Circle fly and drive) and then back to Anchorage to fly home. As pretty as Alaska is especially Denali and Highway 1 by Matanuska Glacier the coast area (i.e. Seward) really resonated with me. I will visit AK again to do a combo land tour of the coastal areas and then take a southbound cruise. I'd love to visit Valdez, Whittier, and Homer to do some fishing before I get on the cruise ship.
