    I can't believe you finally did Alaska. What a beautiful crazy long sail away. Hi mom & dad Hoffman😊 we had that room on Anthem it was a corner room as well. We liked it alot. I wanted to try the wow bands but i heard you have to take it off to order drinks and you couldn't re-use them so hopefully those issues have been fixed.

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels
      @HoffmanHappyTravels  9 месяцев назад

      Hi Dawn! ❤️❤️❤️ If the WOW band worked like how it did on Quantum on every ship that has it, I think it was totally worth it! All the spots I used the WOW band to get our diamond drinks I didn't have to take it off. We'll find out the consistency in the future! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

    Wow you were on the ship one week before me! Too bad we didn’t get to see you. Although I’ll tell you hundreds of folks on our sailing got sick - some covid positive some negative but all the same symptoms. So I guess good you weren’t on our sailing. 🤪

    Love the WOW band. Had them on Oasis and Symphony. We needed the card key for getting off and on the ship. We got purple

    I know you've already completed your Alaska cruise 2-3 weeks ago, but at this point - leaving Seattle - you have *no idea* the majestic and rustic beauty that is coming up in Alaska.

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels
      @HoffmanHappyTravels  9 месяцев назад

      Hi tscoffey! It's so true! It was so amazing, unlike anything we've ever seen before! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

    We were on the same cruise/ship last year in May 2022. Seattle is okay for a port but the best way to cruise Alaska is to fly into Anchorage and cruise out of Whitier. As soon as you step off the plane you are right there surrounded by snow and mountains. When you leave out of Seattle, it's two days before you actually start seeing Alaska. I liked the Whitier sailing better. We've sailed to Alaska three times.

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels

      Hi! That sounds awesome! We would definitely like to sail out of Whittier one day! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

    I think its time for bed. I was screaming Straight of Juan de Fuca lol. I want to thank you for the video. I'm taking my mother on our first Alaska cruise...first cruise ever in summer of 25. I think I heard you right. I need a passport? I'll add it to the list

    Great video guys! Alaska is one of our favourite holiday destinations!
    We are also in one of those cool corner rooms on Odyssey of the seas in late October sailing the transatlantic cruise from Rome to Fort Lauderdale, really looking forward to it and it's great to see videos on that category of cabin. Ours is level 8 on the left front corner.
    Can I ask - what is that phone/camera mount that's on the cabin window? I'd love to try and get one of those timelapse videos on our cruise :D

    • @HoffmanHappyTravels
      @HoffmanHappyTravels  9 месяцев назад

      Yay! We hope you love the room! It's such a cool cabin and Odyssey is a fantastic ship! We use an iPhone 14 Pro and the mount is a Tenikle Tripod Mount! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

      @@HoffmanHappyTravels Thanks for the info! Looks like a really cool tripod for travel. We leave in two days so won't have time to order one, but I will for sure put it on my wish list for next trip. Looking forward to it!!
