    OMG! I just discovered your channel and loved this video! My daughter, granddaughter and I are doing an Alaska cruise in 2025 to celebrate my granddaughter’s college graduation. We wanted to book a cruise with an Alaska Rail train ride. Will consult a TA.
    Thank you for this wonderful Princess Cruise experience. I love Royal Caribbean but you have sold me on Princess food pics!

    The two best parts for me was watching Mark. So funny, so cute, like a kid in a candy store. I smiled through the whole video. Then watching your son when they picked you up. Brought a tear to this old ladies eye. Touching. Thank you for sharing. I went on an Alaska cruise about 8 yrs ago and we are planning one for July 2024.

    Absolutely Stunning! Thank you for sharing this with us! I was watching with my toddler and the best moment for me was seeing Everett's face through the window of the van, I started to cry happy tears, my little man smiled at me and hugged me and said Mommy he loves his Mommy just as much as I love you! We all need breaks as parents but the best feeling in the world is the arms of children hugging us! Thanks again for sharing, I want to cruise now! Lol

    I Live in southeast Alaska. No matter how often it happens, seeing whales is Always a treat. One bit of advice. We do not speed in the non-Anchorage areas of Alaska. AST will ticket you for 5 over the limit. Alaska is laid back and we are not in a hurry to get anywhere so don’t get impatient if you rent a car in port.

  • @katehutto6004
    @katehutto6004 Год назад +4

    Im so glad you shared Glacier Bay. People don’t realize that not all cruise ships go in and it was the highlight of our Alaska cruise! Fortunately my husband knew about it and made sure that we got on a ship that included going into Glacier Bay.

    I think Luna was in disbelief when she heard you coming up the stairs! Such a good kitty. And of course The Sample King was super happy that you were back and gave him that muffin! Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed seeing all the things involved with taking a cruise from A to Z. Lots more to it than folks realize.

    I never like peoples vacation pictures because they are boring and you don’t see what they saw in person and you see them through a camera. But they have their say these pictures are incredible. Makes me want to move to Alaska. Thank you for sharing.

    @madzabinga8382 Год назад +4

    OK, hands down this is the best cruise video ever! I have never been on a cruise, but boy I felt like I was on board with you! So fun. I was laughing when I realized that "Mark The Naturalist" was an actual real person. I thought it was just your Mark at first. What a fun vacation, and what a great way to see parts of your home state. Thanks for the great video Lauren!

    Absolutely beautiful trip .. Thank You both, Lauren and Mark for sharing this trip !! You can tell Mark was enjoying the food and especially the desserts .. LOL ! If the views amazed an Alaskan ... I can only imagine the breathtaking it would do for someone from the East Tennessee Mountains !!! Which I love our mountains! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for bringing us along !! Blessings to you all... and seeing Everett’s smiling face waiting with Grandpa was so precious !!

    It’s wonderful to see Alaskan residents enjoy & in awe of the beauty as we do from the lower 48! A group of us did the same trip on Carnival. Unfortunately, it was rainy & cold 5 of the 7 days & it was mid July! A truly beautiful trip, no matter what the weather! One must do their homework before this vacation, so you’re prepared.

    • @ThisAlaskaLife

    Lauren that was the most beautiful sight at the glacier bay. I found myself so moved by everything that I had tears in my eyes. They were tears of amazement and joy. I also love seeing you and Mark showing a little affection towards one another. That was very nice to see also, understandably why! I would love to take that cruise myself, another bucket list entry! Thank you for the lovely tour, you were a great narrator.

    Wow, this was amazing. I have been watching you for at least three or four months. Of Course this is an old video. I have been to Alaska twice. We have a trip booked for July. We are doing the cruise from Vancouver to Fairbanks, including three days Land tour! The weather you had was amazing. The first time I went it rained the entire time. The second time I went was the land tour with 33 fourth and fifth and sixth graders. Yes, I’m a teacher. We had amazing views of Denali! Praying that when I bring my family next summer we at least get some days of sunshine. Thanks for sharing. Give the boys and miss violet a hug for me.
