We take our first excursion - Small Group Alaska's Whale and Mendenhall Glacier Trail and have a day exploring a rain forest, see a glacier, find 21 whales and also duck farts. It was an absolutely fabulous day!

Having lived and worked on cruise ships for many years and being lucky enough to spend two summers in Alaska, I love how educational this Vlog is because you’re really pointing out why people should go to Alaska and how much beauty you can see when you’re there.
Thanks very much, appreciate that! 😀
Sticking on the videos in the background while I'm back and working. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it or you know already, but from around 4:40 in the video when you're out on your balcony, look down to the gantry between Koningsdam and Eurodam and look near the US flag there and you'll see a bald eagle sitting. We had it pointed out to us when we got ashore so grabbed some photos then and saw it eventually take off and fly down the main street.
Well fair play you do have eagle eyes! 🤣We didn't notice that! Bet you're loving being home and back to work. Your Panama Canal cruise looked interesting, we definitely would like to get on one of Princess's older ships!
Paul says it correctly!
Thanks!
@Carole, you need to visit Tekapo, New Zealand - Bright blue lake and thousands of purple lupines
Oh would love that!
Thank you for bringing back so many amazing memories. We went in 2018 to Alaska and it was mindblowing. InJuneau we were on a luxury yaght with one other couple and saw many whales and seals and orca's with their offspring. Absolutely one of the most beautifull things to see ever, really emotional. Now i am going to look at my pictures and films again. Thank you for sharing your vlogs, they are fantastic!
Sounds like you had an amazing time too! It’s our pleasure to share our vlogs especially when they are as beautiful as this one 😊😊
Walking through that Forrest, you could actually tell someone you were in the Scottish Highlands. I actually said it looks just the same as the Scottish woods/forrests just seconds before you said you had never seen anything like it.
Oh need to get up there too!
Oh wow! I can’t get over how blessed you were on your whale watch. I would be over the moon emotional too. Nature is so amazing.
We were, it was fantastic!
Loving the memories that these vlogs bring back. I lost count after 15 whales, but we were both so lucky to see the bubble feeding. Great excursion, deffo worth every penny of the whole trip for that day alone.
Exactly very lucky! 😍
Absolutely love all your content! I hit that subscribe button so quickly 🎉
Oh thank you so much!
I loved this vlog. What an experience to see all those whales. I am enjoying every minute of my trip to Alaska with you. Shame I can't taste all the delicious food too!
It was amazing! Great to hear you loved it too!
Brilliant those whales were stunning to watch ❤
It was brilliant, feel very lucky to have seen so many!
Have to say this was one of the best videos you guys have presented. So entertaining and informative (we will be in Juneau next may24 and you have given us such an insight into what's possible). Can't wait for the next instalment.
Oh thanks Andrew appreciate that! You are in for a treat, we had such a fabulous day!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 I can’t believe how fortunate you were to see all those whales. Were they humpbacks? The Crown Royal Whiskey that was in your Duck Fart shot is made right here in my province!! It definitely warms the” cockles of your heart”. Best wishes for safe travels and the biggest thank you for sharing your travels.☺️
We were so fortunate, yes all humpbacks! Don't think I will be having any more Crown Royal Whiskey. Thanks for watching!
What a fabulous day - the whale trip was spectacular, and drinks in the Red Dog Saloon certainly brought on the giggles!
It was an amazing day! The Red Dog Saloon was fun!
I did this same tour in 2022, was the best tour ever. As someone who walks with a walking stick i had no trouble doing this hike. Also very informative. We saw over 6 whales during out part of the tour. Worth ever cent.This brought back so many memories. Don't worry Carole , i cried to.
Agree definitely worth it, such a great experience! Would love to do it again!
When we were there in Sept, pouring rain in Juneau,but we hiked to Mendenhall and Nigguet Falls.. fab!!
Oh fair play! 😍
Fabulous episode 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (Its a Bulbous Bow I think !!!)
Thanks!
What a magical sighting of the whales....
It was such a fabulous day!
Our first ever cruise was 5 years ago on the westerdam to alaska...we also had an aft Neptune suite...(40th wedding anniversary trip...I had spent several years trying to get my husband on a cruise) and we did a similar trip to the glacier and whale watching but on a bigger boat We weren't so lucky in seeing whales though...to the point where the boat stayed out nearly an hour longer then planned - just to make sure we saw 'A' whale!....to get past the ' we guarantee you will see whales ' thing. So....we were very very late back to the ship..well past the sail time! But...we were on a holland america excursion , so the ship had to wait for us...by ' us' I mean nearly 150 passengers! As we were approaching the ship there were crew waving at us shouting run...I just said 'I'm not running anywhere mate...there's another 3 coach loads behind us!!!
We loved our Neptune Suite. Thats the beauty of being on a cruise ship excursion, the ship waits for you. We can't believe we seen 21 whales, absolutely awesome!
My new favourite cruise vloggers, Greetings from New Zealand.
Oh thats great to hear, thank you!
Thank you. I cried with joy and wonder seeing these wonderful creatures. That was just from your film so can only imagine how magical it was live. So envious and happy you got to see them and share with us. 😂😢
It truly was a magical experience and like you said seeing it up close and personal is so much better
Another fantastic video. So many highlights, bald eagles, whales, duck farts. What a great day you had!!
Yes we packed quite a bit in for sure. It was a fabulous day
Fantastic experience .. brought back memories of our trips there on Celebrity Infinity in about 2004 and Serenade of the seas in 2008.
When we were there they said the easiest way to spot bald eagles is to look for golf balls in the trees 😅. Sure enough there were plenty to be seen once they said that lol😅
It really is quite an amazing experience,
Thanks for this great video. You really covered a lot in one day! The rain forest was absolutely amazing and view of the glacier was perfect. 21 Whales spotted is fantastic.! Your stop at the saloon was just right 👍 🦆 🦆 farts! 😀
It was such a brilliant day! Thanks for watching ☺️
That thing sticking out of the water in front of the ship, to help it navigate through the waters better is called a Bulbous bow.
Ok thank you!
Entertaining as always! Did a similar cruise in May but not the same excursioins. My wife grew up in Alaska, so I had to see it and defintely want to return!
Oh really! Agree would love to go back!
The protruding bit on the front of the hull is a bulbous bow. It helps the ship sail through the water more smoothly and saves on fuel I believe. Chris Frame talks about it in one of his videos. I also heard him explaining it in an enrichment talk on the Queen Elizabeth. Thanks for showing the beautiful whales. I would have been very emotional if I'd been there.
Thanks for explaining! It was a fabulous day!
Great vlog. Laughed so much at Carole trying the duck fart and being tiddly after. So nice to see the whales close up.
Yes it was a great day, i haven’t heard it called tiddly for years🤣🤣🤣
I'm Scottish, living in Canada. Like to surprise my Canadian friends with words they don't know the meaning of 😁
I saw my first bald Paulie he was a handsome fellow 😂
Lol! 🤣🤣
Wonderful vlog as always. So pleased you got to see so many whales 😊
Thanks Yvonne it was a pretty amazing day!
Omg…your trip bring back so many memories…I did Alaska in Sept. 1995..on Crown Dynasty (small ship part of Cunard THEN not now)…we did a whale watching excursion off ship and saw a few whales but loads of bald eagles… but sadly no bears..only when we visited the rubbish tip!…..yay we went into the Red Dog Saloon too…I didn’t even have a Duck Fart! …Well done Carole 👍 sorry didn’t want to brag 😩 Love your vlogs xx
Oh wow what fabulous memories you have too! You were spoilt with the Captains Table, brilliant! 😍
I was in Juneau at the beginning of October on a cruise and we were lucky to see a whale breeching off the side of our ship, but our whale watching excursion was only two whales, a Mom and baby, just swimming and diving. NOTHING like what you got- wow! But tell Carole, you have to shoot a shot; that Duck Fart isn't meant to be sipped :) Great vlog! I subscribed.
We were so lucky to see so many! Yes lesson learnt with the Duck Fart! Thanks for subscribing!
I just found your channel whilst researching for my 1st Alaskan cruise coming up in Augist. I have to say, I love, love, love your vlogs!!
Thank you, it’s always nice to get positive comments like this😊
Loving this series. I'm so pleased you had a fantastic time. Thank you for taking us with you. ❤
For Paulie Morgan - cheese toasties and tomato soup are next level. Every week it's Toastie Thursday in my house, perks the end of the week up no end 😂
You are always welcome 😊 toastie Thursday sounds like the future 😋😋
Wow how lucky you was seeing all the whales and showing all us great vlog can't wait for more ❤ from the UK
It was the best day! We were so lucky! ☺️
Fantastic vlog series, showing the real beauty of nature. Seeing whales is so emotional, was lucky enough to see humpbacks and orcas a few years back on a trip to Victoria bc. What never comes across is the size and majesty of them. I remember filming them and it was only when i took my eyes from the screen i realised they were so close.
This series has made me add Alaska to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing such great vlogs, keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words, we have loved putting this vlog series together, we would definitely go back to Alaska in a heartbeat
Great vlog! Sooo blessed to see so many whales! We had the same guide as you! In the Red Dog we had a total of two beers and 4 Duck Farts. Needless to say we can't remember much about the crabs we ate at Tracy's Crab Shack afterwards! 😂
Yes we were incredibly lucky, Apparently the most our guide/your guide had ever seen in one trip. I don’t think I could have paid Carole to try another duck fart
@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Haha! Like you said in the video, she should've just necked it in one. It ain't no sippin whiskey! 😆
What a wonderful day you had in Juneau! I got emotional right along with you Carole, when watching the fabulous whale action!
Yes it was a spectacular day😊
I was at the red dog saloon this summer and my friend had the duck fart! In fact maybe two !! I need to go back next year!! It was great u saw all of those whales !!! Great video!! Thanks !
It was amazing, two duck farts , that’s very brave 🤣🤣
This was brilliant really good fun and very special. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks so much it was a fabulous day! 😍
Entertaining as always, Duck Farts is a new one though lol, it did remind me of Duck Face from 4 weddings and a funeral. We have been thinking of doing something similar, an extended holiday to include Canada by train, then New Zealand cruising, not sure if something like that exists.
Glad you enjoyed it, if you speak to Dan our travel man , if there is an itinerary that includes your requirements Dan will find it for you, if you need his details do let us know.
What a fabulous afternoon you had. To see hunting humpback whales as you did was an experience I know you will never forget and to see so many….. absolutely wonderful. Sorry about this but you clearly had a whale of a time (please don’t all groan at once 😱😱) I never got to Juneau on my Alaskan trip but I have a feeling your next vlog is going to bring back some great memories for me of my land tour. Looking forward to it. Thank you for sharing that fabulous experience.
Lol is was fantastic! Thanks for watching 😊
Great video, guys. It's looking very enjoyable. Well done, Carole, with the shot, lol.
Cheers Clinton we had a blast thanks.
You guys are the best! I loved how Carol pronounced Juneau wrong every single time except maybe after she had her duck fart lol love, love, love your room… I am camp, go on fewer cruises, but have a nicer room. As opposed to inside cabin, and go on more cruises.
I don’t think pronunciation is either of our strong points maybe we need to introduce duck farts into our everyday life’s
Lol keep up the great Contant@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel
You two crease me up 😂 loved the Whale watch we did very similar in Sept no bubble netting but loads of flukes.....very emotional as you say. Duck Farts are a must but not for me....yuk lol
LOL thanks! It was really emotional seeing the whales, felt very lucky! Never touching a Duck Fart again! 😂
Absolutely amazing 😊
It was a day to remember!
Just beautiful thank you for sharing xx
Our pleasure 😊😊
My daughters and I are sailing Princess to Alaska next spring and I am so excited to go to Juneau. You definitely did the duck fart too slow 😉😊
Oh exciting! Definitely too slow!
Right Then Carole! Go for the Dunkin' Dog! Spicy!
🤣🤣🤣
It's pronounced June eau, emphasis on June .
Thank you! ☺️
Fab vlog, so lucky to see all those whales and the Red Dog saloon looks a ton of fun. Alaska is on my bucket list so looking forward to trying a duck fart for myself.
You will definitely love Alaska but can’t guarantee you will love a duck fart 🤣🤣
What a great day you had, fab 👍
It was fabulous!
Sed Rog Daloon😂 looks like the place to be.
Thank Thank Thank for the vlog.
It was great fun!
Glynn said you should have shot it back. your not supposed to sip that!!!! Yeeyhaw!
LOL just couldn't do it! 😂😂😂
Yes, I have had a Duck Fart at the Red Dog...YUMMY!!
Got to be done lol! 🤣
Right then what a perfect wind down to sleep a poster of the wake with that gorgeous Alaska coastal back drop
Not very friendly of you not to share that lovely breakie I kept reaching for a taste but no such luck 😂❤❤
Lol sorry! 🤣 The scenery was just fabulous!
I’m considering sailing on the Koningdam next year and stumbled upon your channel. Lots of information and you guys are cute/funny 😊 What month/time of month was your cruise?
Glad you enjoyed it, we cruised mid July 😀😀
Too much fun!!!! 😂❤
Thanks for watching!
Right Then! Duck Farts Cheers from California!🦆
Lol cheers to you too! 😀
Poor Carole, it was too loud for them to give you the instructions for your duck fart. Quack quack, knock it back! No sipping! Ah, then I watched further and saw you did, you just ignored them lol
Lol just couldn't knock it back! 🤣
Awesome balcony and awesome t-shirt, Paul. ❤
Thanks Audrey! ☺️
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel What stunning footage of the whales. Wonderful! 🥰
It was such a fabulous day!
@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel I actually felt a bit teary watching the whale scene. 🐋
@@AudreyMealiff Aww it is emotional seeing these beautiful creatures!
Right Then Paul! Quack , quack! Knock it Back!
Lol! Did it sort off!
Such a fantastic vlog! seeing those whales was amazing,how privileged you were.It's such a tragedy that whales are still hunted and killed by certain countries,Ive tried in my way to stop this,but to no avail!
Thanks! Yes so sad that that still goes on! 😡
hahaha Carol your funny its pronounced like "Juno O"
Thanks so much!
Did you drink from a glacier water lake ? Looks so pure and cool after hike
No we didn't!
If you’re raised on ciders, water the least of your enemies. Missed an opportunity. Loving the vlogs. Booked our first cruise in Caribbean end of Nov due to you guys and a second on Sky Princess in May to Norway. You really give the facts and the joy. Thank you ❤
@@fenellavanvliet2263 Oh thats great to hear! Have fun in the Caribbean and Sky Princess and Norway is a great combination!
Yes I truly understand, it just annoys 😂 lol
🤣🤣🤣
Did that warm your innards Carole? Funny
Lol it certainly did! 🤣
👌👍
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije
Hello!
"Juneau". FTFY
Thanks!
I googled the duck fart, you’re supposed to stir it all up before drinking!
Oh really we weren't told that! 🤣🤣
Were all the whales you saw humpbacks. So 😎
Does anyone HATE the correctness feature as much as me WHY can’t the drafted circuit board print what I type WORSE when I type slowly hoping for spelling help it’s outside having a coffee and ciggie
caught it writing cohoe for ciggie that doesn’t even make sense
Yes it was amazing!
I love you guys, but what stops me watching and inviting friends is your wife calling you pauley x
That's what I have always called him, so it won't ever change! 😀
Ju’-No
Thanks!
Fantastic video both, like Attenborough 😊
Very brave Carole having a Duck Fart 😅
It’s Pronounced Jew-no. Emphasis on Jew. Trust me. Been there twice.
Thanks!
